  • Fully remote

Role overview

Substrate builds financial infrastructure to grow industrial GDP. We're hiring a Founding Design Engineer to lead the effort to make Substrate's products feel insanely great, working at the intersection of design, product, copywriting, and full-stack engineering to ship 0→1 experiences that power machine shops, farms, factories, construction contractors, and more.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full arc: from customer pain → UI/UX design → prototype → shipped product
  • Design and build beautiful, simple interfaces on top of gnarly complexity and legacy systems
  • Write growth-optimized product copy that converts users across the product funnel
  • Spin up fast, high-fidelity mockups and working prototypes to pressure-test ideas before we build
  • Help build a product culture that harmonizes speed, taste, and customer obsession

Requirements

  • You have serious taste in UI/UX, and you can point to interfaces you've designed that prove it
  • You're a great writer
  • You're a React wizard
  • You can implement basic back-end features like modifying database schemas
  • You can overlap at least 6 hours with PST working hours (8am-5pm PST)
  • You resonate with our engineering philosophy

Nice to have

  • You love LLMs
  • You've built design systems
  • You love experimenting with tools like Mobbin and Figr

Benefits

  • Fully remote
  • Unlimited PTO

Additional details

  • You believe in objective good and beauty, and you want to bring them to an antiquated, predatory industry.
  • You believe not all technology is created equal. You don’t care about building another enterprise SaaS tool, you want to build tools that advance civilization.
  • You want to work with people who treat their work as craft, who violently reject “just good enough,” and you want to help build that culture.
  • If you are interested, please apply via Dover AND email with the following (your app won't be considered without these). Keep answers to less than 3 sentences each: If you could have one person's career arc, who would it be and why?; What's the most insanely great thing you've ever designed? Include a link or video so we can see!; Your current time zone and confirmation you can have 6 hours of overlap with PST working hours; Availability for a 30min call
