Frontend Engineer & UI Designer (Developer Tooling)

Job Description

This role is not for everyone. Here’s what makes it hard:

• Hotwire-first, on purpose. If your instinct for every interaction is to reach for React, you’ll fight the stack instead of using it. The fun, hard part is getting SPA-grade polish out of Turbo, Stimulus, and native HTML.
• You design AND build. Plenty of people do one well. The bar here is taste plus the discipline to ship it in production code, with tests, that passes review.
• Developer tools are unforgiving. Your users notice a 200ms jank, a misaligned monospace column, or a chart that lies. There’s nowhere to hide a sloppy detail.
• Wide surface, one owner. Dashboard, playground, docs, marketing. You constantly decide what to polish and what to leave, with no PM holding the list for you.
• Taste is subjective. You’ll defend a design decision in writing, ship it, watch real usage, and change your mind when the data disagrees with you.
  

If you want pixel-perfect specs handed to you and someone to manage you, this isn’t for you.

✨ About You

• You design and build. You’ve shipped frontend you also designed, and it looked genuinely good. Not “good for an engineer.” Good.
• Hotwire-native, or close. Fluent in a server-rendered, component-based stack (Rails + Hotwire ideal; Phoenix/LiveView, Django, or Laravel translate). You reach for native HTML before JavaScript.
• Tailwind cold. Real opinions about spacing, type scale, and color systems.
• You love developer tools. You have a favorite dashboard and an API console you think is beautiful, and you can say exactly why.
• Great writer. You can explain a design tradeoff in a PR description without needing a meeting.
  

Required experience:

• Production frontend you designed and built yourself, with links to show it.
• Strong with a server-rendered, component-based stack (Rails + Hotwire strongly preferred).
• Fluent in Tailwind (or a similar utility CSS) and a real design tool like Figma.
