As a Design Engineer, you’ll own how that happens in the product: turning dense information, complicated workflows, and new AI capabilities into intuitive, polished experiences that feel obvious to use.\nYou’ll work closely with the founders and directly with customers to understand how they work, identify where the product falls short, and rapidly design and build better solutions. You’ll spend most of your time in the product, writing code, prototyping interactions, and refining the details that make software feel great. You’ll touch every level of the product, from refining a small interaction to designing and building entirely new workflows from scratch.\nYou should apply if:\nYou want an unreasonable amount of ownership over a product. You care deeply about how software works and feels, love turning messy real-world problems into simple experiences, and would rather prototype and ship your ideas than hand them off. We’re early enough that many of the core interactions, workflows, and design conventions of Regbase still need to be invented, and you’ll have a huge role in defining them.\nWhat you will do:\nDesign and build polished, intuitive experiences across Regbase's core product\nOwn features from problem definition through interaction design, implementation, and refinement\nBecome a mini-expert in legal and regulatory systems around the world\nWork directly with customers to understand their workflows, pain points, and mental models\nWork closely with the founders to shape product direction and prioritize what we build\nSet a high bar for the visual and interaction design of the product\nHelp establish the visual language and interaction patterns of Regbase\nAbout you:\n3+ years of experience in Design and Frontend development\nStrong visual and interaction design instincts\nIntellectually curious about laws, regulations, and public policy\nA strong frontend engineer who can take ideas all the way into production\nYou can take an ambiguous user problem and independently figure out what should be built\nYou care obsessively about the details of how software behaves and feels\nAble to simplify complex systems and information-heavy workflows\nExcited about AI products and interested in developing new interaction patterns around LLMs and agents\nBonus if you are:\nComfortable in Typescript, React and Next.js\nExperienced building design systems or reusable component libraries\nExperienced designing data-dense, workflow-heavy, or professional software\nExperienced building interfaces for AI products\nComfortable talking directly with customers and conducting lightweight user research\nHave worked at an early-stage startup or in an environment with high product ownership\nLocated in or willing to relocate to New York\nWhat We Provide:\nWork directly with the CTO (former staff engineer at Vercel) and CEO\nThe opportunity to establish and shape design engineering at the company\nThe ability to work across engineering, product, and customers\nShip quickly and see your work used directly by customers\nA salary of $175k-250k per year\nEquity of 0.2-0.5%","description_format":"text","description_chars":3162,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T19:17:46Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["seen:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T22:55:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/regbase-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/regbase-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-23T22:55:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
