Senior Product Design Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities : - Design and build UI in the same motion - prototyping novel AI-native interactions directly in code rather than in Figma-then-handoff. - Sit inside a pod (PM + eng lead + you) and take features from concept to shipped, rather than handing off a spec and waiting. - Own the interaction and motion details - loading/streaming states, transitions, micro-interactions - the polish that's nearly impossible to fully spec in a doc. - Build and maintain shared UI components so the rest of the org can move fast without reinventing patterns feature by feature. - Work directly in the production codebase. - Own the design system - the components, patterns, and code. - Define how design work becomes a shipped interface for everyone else on the team. - Set standards and guardrails to ensure code generated with AI tools is production-ready, not bloated. - Help other designers close the gap between design and frontend-ready code. Ideal Candidate : - Strong Product Design Engineer profile combining product design with hands-on frontend coding. - 2+ years in product design, with strong depth in dense, complex product interfaces (tables, forms, permissions, multi-role flows) built for real users. - Strong product/visual design judgment along with the ability to ship production-ready frontend code independently. - Hands-on frontend engineering (React / HTML / CSS / GitHub), able to work directly in a production codebase and write clean, production-ready code. - Ability to set guardrails and standards so AI tools generate clean, production-ready, accessible code. - Must share a GitHub profile and a link to a real product prototype designed and coded end-to-end. - Excellent English communication skills. - B2B SaaS background or early-stage startup experience. Additional Information : - Location : Bengaluru (Hybrid - 3 days in office). - Reports to Head of Design. - Company : B2B SaaS Series A startup. - Team size : 70 people overall, design team currently 2 people. - Work with US-based stakeholders and design for US audience. - Tech team operates in Indian hours.
