About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the quality and consistency of Poolside's design across product, marketing, brand, and systems surfaces.
Build and evolve our design system; not just a component library, but a design pipeline that scales with the company.
Write reusable, production-quality frontend code: components and systems others can build on, not one-off pages.
Partner with Design Engineers on external-facing surfaces, ensuring brand and marketing reflect the same bar as the product.
Collaborate with Product Engineering to bring design system work into production and keep it alive as the product evolves.
Hold the visual bar across the team. Your taste and judgment should be raising the standard for everything around you.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Visual craft; high polish, typographic sensitivity, and attention to detail across product and brand contexts. You produce work that looks as good as it functions.
Experience designing across the full experience of a company: product, marketing, design systems, and brand. Not a specialist in one.
Proficiency producing reusable, clean frontend code. Components and systems, not just one-off pages.
A genuine history of building with code: scripts, tools, personal projects shipped from scratch. You can speak concretely to what you built and why.
Genuine familiarity with developer workflows; version control, local environments, the command line, deployment pipelines. Not as a curiosity, but as your natural habitat.
Deep experience designing for developer tools specifically, not general consumer or enterprise products.
Experience building design systems, not just maintaining them, but defining the pipeline and getting others to adopt it.
Systems thinker: you see how decisions in one surface affect another and design accordingly.
