Design Engineer

We’re looking for a Design Engineer with exceptional visual taste and strong front-end craft to design and build developer-facing experiences across Exa’s product, playground, documentation, website, and brand. You’ll work directly with product and engineering, moving from early ideas and prototypes to polished, production-ready experiences. There is no traditional design-to-engineering handoff. You’ll use both design and code to explore possibilities, refine interactions, and ship. Designers at Exa have broad creative license, and the freedom to create and lead new initiatives based on their best judgement. This role will be a great fit for you if you enjoy moving quickly across different kinds of work without compromising on craft.

Requirements

Exceptional visual taste and strong front-end craft; 4+ years designing and building software; Portfolio of polished, interactive products or prototypes; Strong visual and interaction design skills for complex technical products; Fluent in Figma, React, TypeScript or JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and think in reusable components; Use coding agents to explore, prototype, and ship ideas; Independently identify opportunities, communicate clearly, and work well through ambiguity

Benefits

Premium healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision); Fertility benefits; 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents; Monthly wellness stipend; Visa sponsorship for international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3)
