Design Engineer
OneSignal is looking for a Design Engineer to help build the UX and UI of our messaging platform used by 1.5 million app developers. We're looking for a team member who likes to live between design and development. You will work closely with designers, engineers, product managers and other areas of the business to help make our product more intuitive and delightful to use. You like to code and design, and find yourself torn on whether to refer to yourself as a designer or frontend engineer.
We want people that have a ‘ship it’ mentality and have an eye for pixel perfection. We want people who care about building easy to use products and have a savvy for using data to make better design decisions. We want people who care deeply about the quality of the UI we build.
You’ll join our small Design team. We’re a nimble group that spans user research, prototyping, visual design, design systems and UI development. We sketch a lot. We spend a lot of time in Figma. We talk to users to validate our work. We run cross functional workshops to influence design thinking across the company.
In a typical week, a Design Engineer at OneSignal might:
Work directly on the UI and UX of our web products
Partner with designers to develop OneSignal’s design system, “Beam”
Partner with engineers to implement components and add design polish to our products
Educate and be an evangelist for a11y, semantics and design system best practices
Document our components and UX patterns, how they work, how designers can use them in Figma, how engineers can use them in code
Create prototypes and tools to help us move faster at both discovery and execution
Bring an engineering perspective to the design process to voice issues with feasibility and call out missed edge-cases
Be a constant advocate for collaboration as well as act as a bridge between design and engineering
What you'll bring:
3+ years experience working on a web platform
Strong, provable design skills, specifically around accessibility and interaction design
Intuitive mind for good user experience
Effectively communicate with other team members (how we structure design team meetings)
Experience building design systems
Obsessive attention to pixel perfection
Portfolio of past work showcasing your process
Mastery of design and prototyping tools (we use Figma)
Understand technical requirements and aspects of modern apps
Experience designing and shipping projects from start to finish
Fluent with HTML, CSS and JavaScript (we use React and TypeScript)
Qualities we look for:
Friendliness
Modesty
Ability to collaborate well on a team
Can deliver solutions independently
Self Starter
Love of learning
In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no employee or applicant will face discrimination/harassment based on: race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, or veteran status. Above and beyond discrimination/harassment based on 'protected categories,' we also strive to prevent other, subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (e.g., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at OneSignal.
