Design Engineer

Obble is hiring a Design Engineer to build and own its recruiting software interface end to end. The role combines product design and implementation, including developing the design system, improving readability on dense screens, and ensuring accessibility.

Responsibilities:

• Own the interface end to end, from the first sketch to the merged pull request
• Grow the design system: the type scale, the color tokens, the motion, and the components everything else is built from
• Make dense screens readable. A recruiter comparing forty candidates needs hierarchy more than decoration
• Hold the line on accessibility: keyboard paths, contrast, and reduced motion are part of the design, not a later pass

Requirements:

• A portfolio of interfaces you both designed and built
• Fluent React and CSS, and strong opinions about layout, typography, and spacing
• Comfort making product decisions, not just visual ones
• Tailwind, Next.js, or motion work (Framer Motion, WebGL, canvas)
• You have designed for data-dense professional tools before
