Design Engineer

Who you are

• Fluency in modern frontend development: React, Next.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or TypeScript
• Ability to move from Figma into code and own the final result in production
• Deep attention to typography, layout, interaction, motion, and responsiveness
• Systems thinking, with a track record of building reusable components and patterns instead of solving every page from scratch
• Comfort experimenting, iterating, and using data to make a site more effective without turning it into a growth hack
• Interest in technical products and the ability to make complex ideas feel clear without flattening them
• Strong opinions about the web, and the ability to articulate why something works and why it doesn't
• Experience with motion design, animation, or WebGL
• Experience with Three.js, React Three Fiber, shaders, or creative coding
• Experience building developer-focused or deeply technical websites
• Experience working with DatoCMS

What the job involves

• We're looking for a Web Designer / Design Engineer to own baseten.co day to day, from concept through production. You'll design and build landing pages, bring product launches to life, run experiments, improve conversion, and keep raising the quality bar on the site
• This is a high-ownership role on the brand design team, sitting between brand design and frontend engineering. We want the website to be one of the best expressions of the Baseten brand and one of the best developer-focused sites on the internet, which means treating it as a product that's constantly evolving rather than something we redesign every few years
• You'll have a lot of autonomy to ship, while partnering closely with brand, product marketing, engineering, and leadership on bigger launches
• Own the design and frontend implementation of the Baseten marketing site
• Ship landing pages, product pages, launches, and campaigns from concept through production
• Improve the site continuously, finding and acting on opportunities to make it better rather than waiting for a redesign cycle
• Partner with growth and product marketing to test messaging, layouts, and conversion improvements without sacrificing craft
• Build polished interactions, motion, and details that make the site feel distinctly Baseten
• Build and evolve the components, patterns, and design systems that let the team move quickly without lowering the bar
• Turn complex technical products into clear, compelling web experiences
• Prototype ambitious interactive and experimental ideas when a launch calls for it
• Make it dramatically easier for the brand and marketing teams to get great work onto the internet
• Set the bar for web design and frontend craft across the company

Benefits

• Remote-first work environment. The Baseten team is welcome to work from wherever they want; fully remote, in our San Francisco office, or a mix of both. Today, our team (including our founding team) is spread across the United States, Canada, and Armenia. We provide a $1,000 stipend for you to make your home-office comfortable and productive
• Regular in-person team summits. We get together as a team three times a year to plan, workshop, and most importantly, get to know each other better
• Unlimited PTO. We ask that everyone take at least 4 weeks of vacation. And we have a company-wide break between Christmas and New Year's Day
• Full healthcare coverage. Medical, dental and vision insurance for you and your family
• Paid parental leave. 16-weeks fully paid parental leave (adoptive and non-birth parents included) and flexibility with schedules while returning to work
• Company-sponsored 401(k) for you to contribute to
• Learning and development budget. We encourage you to take classes, attend conferences, and invest in your craft and we’ll cover expenses to make it happen
