Product Designer Engineer

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and build the user-facing layer of a software product, carrying work from early sketches and prototypes through to shipped frontend code. The role combines interaction design with hands-on engineering and sets the visual and interaction standard for the whole application.

What you'll do

• Take features from early sketches and prototypes through to shipped frontend code, then refine them using customer feedback.
• Own every user-facing screen of the application and make complex back-office tasks feel simple and quick to complete.
• Partner closely with senior leadership and engineering on how people work alongside automated features.
• Explore and test new interface patterns for software that takes actions on a user's behalf.
• Create reusable components and a shared design system that raise the quality bar across the product.
• Speak with end customers to understand their working processes and check design choices against them.

What we're looking for

• Experience as a hybrid designer-engineer, meaning a designer who codes or a design-focused engineer.
• Two to eight years of experience designing and building products.
• Track record of taking products from zero to one at fast-growing, early-stage companies.
• Hands-on history of getting interfaces released to production, supported by solid knowledge of client-side development.
• Sharp visual judgment and craft, evidenced by a sample of design work the candidate can share.
• Ability to clearly explain the design decisions behind their work.
• Able to work on-site five days a week in New York City.

Bonus points

• Experience building business-to-business software.
• Experience designing interaction patterns for AI-driven products.
• Ability to work across the full stack.

Compensation and benefits

• Salary: $160K - $220K
• Equity
