Founding Designer (Code-First / 100% Remote)

About This RoleAI processing…

Key Responsibilities

• 1
  Define and build our design system in code, using shadcn/ui as the foundation — tokens, variants, modes, responsive behaviour, accessibility
• 2
  Prototype directly in code with AI assistance (Claude), so what you "design" is already buildable and lives in the codebase
• 3
  Design the entire product surface — from the 3D canvas and viewport controls to property panels, dashboards, and onboarding flows
• 4
  Own iconography and illustration: either craft our icon set and product illustrations yourself, or art-direct freelancers to deliver a consistent, high-quality visual language
• 5
  Work in a tight loop with engineers, where "handoff" mostly means a code review, not a translation
• 6
  Shape the brand and marketing surface as the company grows

Requirements

• You work in code (HTML/CSS/React) and are comfortable using tools like Claude or similar tools to turn ideas into a working UI. You don't need to be an engineer, but the terminal and a component file don't scare you
• You have experience designing for 3D, spatial, or canvas-based software — a tool you've shipped, a serious side project, or deep experience using Blender, Rhino, SketchUp, Cinema 4D, Spline, or a game engine. You understand viewport controls, gizmos, camera behaviour, and the seam between 2D UI and a live 3D scene
• You've designed with shadcn/ui and understand how its tokens, variants, and primitives compose
• You have a strong icon and illustration eye — you can either produce this work or direct freelancers to a consistent result, and you know what good looks like
• You design with light/dark mode and responsiveness from the start, not as an afterthought
