About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Drive Rillet’s platform refresh across core surfaces like the launchpad, side nav, login, navigation patterns, empty states, tables, workflows, and other high-frequency product experiences.
  • Turn rough ideas into shipped product. You may start from a loose Figma exploration, a customer problem, a brand direction, or a half-formed product intuition—and bring it all the way to polished, production-ready UI.
  • Build and evolve Rillet’s design system: tokens, components, interaction patterns, motion principles, layout primitives, documentation, and the implementation details that make product-wide changes fast and reliable.
  • Translate our upcoming brand refresh into the product quickly and thoughtfully, making sure the platform feels cohesive rather than “reskinned.”
  • Raise the bar for product quality across visual design, interaction design, accessibility, responsiveness, performance, and micro-details.
  • Prototype in code when Figma is too slow or too static, especially for motion, interaction, responsiveness, keyboard behavior, AI workflows, and complex financial surfaces.
  • Identify design-to-code workflows that should be automated, systematized, or agentized. Help build the context, components, and patterns that make AI-assisted product development faster and more brand-consistent.
  • Partner with product designers, engineers, and founders to shape the experience—not just implement it. You’ll be expected to bring opinions, taste, and alternatives.
  • Notice what’s off before anyone asks. Then fix it.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Exceptional taste. You can tell when something is almost right but not quite—and you know how to make it better.
  • Deep curiosity. You are constantly exploring new products, tools, interaction patterns, AI workflows, visual systems, and ways of building on the web.
  • You genuinely enjoy both design and engineering, and you do not see them as separate phases of the work.
  • Strong product instincts. You can reason from customer needs to interface decisions, not just from mockups to implementation.
  • Frontend fluency. You understand how modern web interfaces are built and can write clean, performant production code. React experience is preferred; Svelte is a bonus.
  • Comfort working from ambiguity. You do not need every requirement spelled out. You can take an open-ended product area, form a point of view, prototype options, get feedback, and ship.
  • Systems thinking. You care about reusable primitives, scalable patterns, design tokens, component APIs, and the difference between a one-off fix and a foundation.
  • High craft in the details: spacing, type, hierarchy, motion, affordances, loading states, empty states, keyboard behavior, accessibility, and performance.
  • A portfolio or body of work that shows strong visual judgment, interaction sensibility, and the ability to move between design exploration and production execution.
  • Comfort using AI tools to move faster, prototype more broadly, and automate repetitive parts of the design-engineering workflow—without outsourcing taste.
  • A bias toward shipping. You can move quickly without lowering the bar.
