About our Client

They’re building a next-generation platform that uses AI-driven simulations to help people master complex human interactions (sales, negotiation, patient dialogues, leadership conversations).
As we scale our product, we’re looking for a talented Design Engineer who bridges product design and front-end engineering to help deliver beautiful, usable, performant experiences.

Role Overview

As a Design Engineer at Convergent AI you will:

• Own the design and implementation of key parts of the product interface and user experience (web application)

• Work in a cross-functional team (product, design, engineering) to translate user needs and business goals into scalable web UI

• Be hands-on: from prototyping in design tools through to shipping production React JS components

• Ensure high quality, maintainable code, strong UI/UX, accessibility, and performance for our web app

• Help define and enforce design systems, component libraries, and front-end architecture

• Collaborate with back-end engineers, product managers and UX designers to deliver features end-to-end

• Continuously iterate and improve the product — using data, feedback and design thinking

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design of user flows, interaction patterns, UI visuals and component behaviour for our product

• Create high-fidelity designs, mockups, prototypes (using tools like Figma, Sketch, AdobeXD, etc)

• Translate design assets into clean, modular, reusable React JS code, implementing component libraries, views and application logic

• Ensure the front-end codebase adheres to best practices (performance, accessibility, responsive/mobile, maintainability)

• Define and own front-end architecture decisions (React version, state management, styling approaches, bundling, etc)

• Work with UX researchers and product managers to validate design assumptions, run usability tests, iterate on design

• Help establish and maintain a design system, style guide, and shared component library across the product

• Review peer code and design work, mentor junior engineers/designers, contribute to front-end engineering culture

• Stay up-to-date with front-end technologies and design trends, bring in new ideas for improved UX and engineering efficiency

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as a Product Designer (UX/UI) AND/OR as a front-end engineer (or both) — you must have experience across design and implementation

• Strong hands-on experience with React JS (including component design, state management, hooks, functional components)

• Solid experience building web applications, including: HTML5, CSS3 (or CSS-in-JS, SASS/LESS), responsive and mobile web design

• Experience with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar — comfortable creating mockups, prototypes, and handing off to dev

• Experience working in a design system / component-library environment (creating, maintaining reusable components)

• Good visual design skills and understanding of UX best practices (user flows, interaction design, accessibility, performance)

• Ability to collaborate effectively with product, design, and engineering teams in a remote/distributed environment

• Excellent problem-solving skills, ability to think broadly (product + business + users) and focus on execution

• Must be located in Europe, able to work in a European time‐zone and authorised to work from/for a European‐based company

Nice to Have

• Experience with modern front-end tooling: Webpack, Rollup, ES Modules, CI/CD for front-end, Storybook, etc

• Experience with TypeScript (particularly in React codebases)

• Familiarity with analytics tools, A/B testing, user research processes

• Experience with designing and implementing animations/interactions or advanced UI transitions

• Experience with back-end integration, APIs (REST/GraphQL) and working closely with back-end engineers

• Prior experience building SaaS products, simulation platforms, or interactive learning applications

• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and performance optimization techniques

What We Offer

• A key role in a fast-growing, ambitious AI company with opportunities to shape product and architecture

• Full remote work (Europe) with flexible working hours and an autonomous culture

• Competitive compensation (up to USD 150,000/year) plus benefits (to be specified by your local entity)

• Opportunity to work with an international team, cutting-edge AI product, and strong growth potential

• Professional development: ability to lead modules, mentor others, contribute to design & engineering culture

How to Apply

Please submit your CV/Resume, a brief cover letter explaining why you’re interested in this role at Convergent AI, and a portfolio or link to relevant work that demonstrates:

• Your design work (product design, UI/UX)

• Your front-end implementation in React JS (with component examples, code samples or live links if possible)

• Your contribution to product/design engineering from ideation through to launch

We will review applications on a rolling basis and plan to schedule an initial screening call followed by a technical exercise / portfolio review and then interviews with product/design/engineering leads.
