Design Engineer

Role Overview

At G2i, we don’t just hire for AI — we build with it. We’re partnering with top AI labs and technical founders to create the tools, dashboards, and environments that sit on the front line of artificial intelligence development.

As a Design Engineer, you’ll turn the complexity of frontier AI systems into experiences people can actually use — clean, fast, and designed for engineers. Using React, Shadcn, and Tailwind, you’ll build interfaces that define how humans and AI interact.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and document UI components using React, Shadcn, and Tailwind CSS.

• Collaborate with designers to translate Figma files into pixel-perfect code.

• Implement and maintain design systems in Storybook and Chromatic.

• Ensure accessibility, performance, and responsive design.

• Contribute to front-end standards across internal and client projects.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years of front-end and design experience; or design engineering experience.

• Recent startup experience — you move quickly and iterate fast.

• Mastery of React, Shadcn, and Tailwind CSS.

• Experience building design systems and UI libraries.

• Solid understanding of accessibility and component-driven architecture.

Compensation & Terms

• 50 - 150USD/hr, based on experience and location.
