We work together with marketers to automate and accelerate their workflows with AI agents. Our agents augment the end-to-end workflow of the marketer by automating analysis, campaign planning, activation, measurement and reporting.\nCustomers like the NBA, Ramp, Wander, Hard Rock Stadium Group and Luxury Presence use Minerva to develop a better understanding of their customers and introduce AI specifically built to understand the customer into their commercial organizations. Our campaigns outperform other tools because we built the entire stack: from identity to enrichment to data integration as well as agents to action and report on the analysis.\nWe've raised $20M from The General Partnership, 8VC, Lingotto, NBA Investments, Topology Ventures, Future Positive, Background Capital and many others. Our team brings together operators and investors from Citadel, Dentsu, Bridgewater, Meta Superintelligence, Growthloop, Amazon and Lazard, alongside engineers and researchers from Berkeley, MIT, Stanford and Cambridge.\nDESIGN ENGINEERING AT MINERVA\nWe build in TypeScript, React, TanStack Start, Base UI and Tailwind. We use Motion where movement earns its place.\n\nDesign happens in code first. Figma or Paper comes out when a sketch is faster.\n\nOur users are marketers and the CMOs they report to. They work with consumer data at a scale most interfaces never have to carry.\n\nTHE ROLE\nAn agent can build a segment in minutes. A marketer still has to understand it, trust it and put budget behind it. Getting them there is an interface problem, and it's this job.\nMinerva's agents handle a marketing team's most data-heavy work. What reaches the customer is a screen. That screen has to make complex data feel simple. It also has to make the output trustworthy, and good enough to use, so that it leads to a result.\nA design engineer here doesn't sit between design and engineering. You own the quality of the product experience from concept to shipped software, and you use code as the design medium. The distinction is ownership, not skill overlap.\nThis is a senior individual contributor seat on the product engineering team.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nMake complex data legible. Design and build the surfaces where marketers work with data on hundreds of millions of consumers. Understanding an audience should take seconds, not a data team.\n\nTurn agent output into a decision. Decide how segments, models and measurement are shown and explained, so a marketer trusts them, enjoys using them and puts them in market.\n\nDesign in code. Prototype what a static mock can't express, like motion, keyboard flows and work an agent is still doing. Take the strongest version to production yourself.\n\nMake the cost call. Decide when an animation earns its place, and when a component is a one-off versus a primitive the team builds on.\n\nOwn the design system. Build and maintain the components and patterns product engineering ships with, so every surface feels like the same product.\n\nOwn it after launch. You're accountable for how a surface feels in a customer's hands, not how it looked in review.\n\nWHAT YOU HAVE\nTaste. This is the hardest one to write a bullet for, so we'll just say it: your work shows it. Sometimes it's restraint. Sometimes it's making dull data fun, getting clarity out of a user, or showing what a product does without giving away how.\n\nOpinions you can defend. Your reasons come from first principles that matter to the person using the product, not from a model's suggestion.\n\nShipped work. You've designed and shipped production interfaces yourself. We don't care about titles or years. We care what you've built.\n\nYou fight for decisions, with others. You argue a call through with people who care as much as you do, and you let the better argument win.\n\nLocated in or willing to relocate to New York City.\n\nWHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE\nFirst 90 days: you've shipped your first major product surface end to end, and it's yours.\n\nFirst 6 months: you've shipped and own several of the bigger product surfaces, and the design system is what product engineering builds with by default.\n\nThere's no single number. The measure is the surfaces you own and how they hold up in customers' hands.\n\nCOMPENSATION\n$209,000-$265,000 base salary, depending on experience. Meaningful equity. Medical, dental and vision.\nHOW TO APPLY\nSkip the cover letter. Send us something you designed and shipped, with a few sentences on one decision in it you'd defend. Applications without it won't be reviewed.\nWHERE WE WORK\nWe work in person from our office at 300 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.\nBENEFITS\nEvery full-time role includes equity; medical, dental and vision coverage; unlimited PTO; a monthly fitness stipend; and an annual company offsite. We'd rather pay people well than buy perks nobody uses.\nPAY TRANSPARENCY\nThe salary range in this posting is our good-faith range for the role in New York City at the time of posting. Where an offer lands depends on the level and experience we see in the interview process.\nAPPLYING\nApply on this page. We don't take applications by email, and we don't accept unsolicited submissions from recruiting agencies. If you need an accommodation at any point in the process, write to .\nWORK AUTHORIZATION\nYou'll need to be authorized to work in the United States. We consider visa sponsorship case by case, so tell us on the application if you'll need it.\nEQUAL OPPORTUNITY\nMinerva is an equal opportunity employer. We make hiring decisions without regard to race, color, religion, creed, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, marital status, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by federal, New York State or New York City law.\nRECRUITMENT FRAUD\nOur hiring runs through Ashby and @minerva.io email addresses. We will never ask you for money, bank details or other financial information during the process.
