Designer

Zed is on a mission to build the world’s most advanced code editor, and we believe the best experiences come from designers who are also builders.

We’re looking for a designer who codes. Someone who is in a codebase every day and understands the details and realities of developer workflows firsthand. You’ll help us craft a tool that’s not only beautiful and simple, but also powerful, intuitive, and a true delight to use.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end user experience, ensuring Zed feels intuitive, cohesive, and awesome to use for developers

• Design simple, effective, and clean interfaces that empower users and allow for scalability

• Help shape the product roadmap and build a strong vision, guiding the team toward the future of software development

• Work directly in Rust source code and collaborate with a small team of engineers to fully implement the features you designed

• Develop, maintain, and evolve Zed’s design system to make building Zed smooth and easy

Requirements

• You love designing in code as much as in Figma and exploring developer tools

• You're detail-oriented and have great taste

• You enjoy operating on the bleeding edge, work well with ambiguity, and ship

• You are excited to learn Rust and get your hands dirty creating interfaces in Zed's custom-built UI framework, GPUI

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in developer tools

• Familiarity with the Rust programming language

Join us in revolutionizing the development experience. Your expertise could drive Zed's next game-changing feature!
