About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the visual and interaction quality of a web application by building polished, detailed user interfaces in code. Work closely with company leadership, the product team and frontend engineers to refine key user flows and roll out a refreshed brand across the product. The role offers a path toward leading the design function over time.

What you'll do

  • Build polished, detailed interfaces with hands-on frontend implementation.

  • Refine information architecture and core user flows across the product.

  • Design and implement micro-interactions such as icon animations and loading states.

  • Raise the level of visual detail and craft throughout the application.

  • Apply a refreshed brand across all product surfaces together with frontend engineers.

  • Take part in regular design reviews with the team.

  • Grow toward ownership of the design function.

  • Requirements

  • Production-grade frontend experience with React and TypeScript.

  • A portfolio or work sample showing a high level of polish and craft, in a range of styles including minimalist or graphic-design-led.

  • Prior work showing close attention to micro-interactions and frontend polish.

  • Experience with data-heavy business or developer-facing products, with a portfolio featuring complex table and form based dashboards.

  • Hands-on experience with micro-interaction work.

  • A track record of spending most of your time building and shipping frontend code, rather than design-only or prototyping work.

  • A background at product organizations known for their emphasis on quality design.

  • Willingness to work on-site 5 days a week in New York.

  • Bonus points

  • Figma and visual design skills.

  • Enjoyment of creating shared, reusable interface building blocks.
