Job Expired

Job Overview

  • Job Title Product Design Engineer
  • Hiring Organization Metalabel
  • Company Website http://www.metalabel.com/
  • Remote Locations Worldwide
  • Job Type  Remote, Full-Time

Metalabel is looking for a full-time Product Design Engineer who can design polished UI and write production code. The ideal candidate should have a deep passion for front end development, design, craft, and be energized in a fast-paced environment.

As Product Design Engineer, you will join product, design, and engineering teammates to build Metalabel’s core application suite. You will establish, evolve, and maintain design foundations, systems, and patterns for the team, setting the bar for quality and consistency. You will collaborate with design and engineering to help unblock designs or interactions within a specific feature and collaboratively implement our vision for a new creative era.

Proven familiarity with shipping a complex React/TypeScript application from idea to production is highly preferred. We are looking for a pragmatic builder with good instincts around managing a living codebase. Senior+ level coding fluency is less important than the practical ability to turn an idea into a reality and proactively drive our UI layer at scale.

As a very small team made up of diverse technical and non-technical peers spread across the globe, we are looking for someone with strong asynchronous communication skills and a genuine enthusiasm for the universe we’re building together.

Think you’d make a great fit and want to learn more about this role? Reach out at hello@metalabel.com with ‘Product Design Engineer’ in the subject line with examples of projects (whether shipped or simply concepted) to start the conversation.
