Founding Designer (Code-First / 100% Remote)

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Define and build the design system in code, using shadcn/ui as the foundation — tokens, variants, modes, responsive behaviour, accessibility
• ▹Prototype directly in code with AI assistance (Claude), producing buildable designs that live in the codebase
• ▹Design the entire product surface — the 3D canvas and viewport controls, property panels, dashboards, and onboarding flows
• ▹Own iconography and illustration, either creating it directly or art-directing freelancers
• ▹Work in a tight loop with engineers, where handoff mostly means a code review
• ▹Shape the brand and marketing surface as the company grows

Requirements

• ▹Experience designing for 3D, spatial, or canvas-based software, or deep experience with Blender, Rhino, SketchUp, Cinema 4D, Spline, or a game engine
• ▹Understanding of viewport controls, gizmos, camera behaviour, and the seam between 2D UI and a live 3D scene
• ▹Experience designing with shadcn/ui and understanding of its tokens, variants, and primitives
• ▹Strong icon and illustration eye, able to produce this work or direct freelancers to it
• ▹Designs with light/dark mode and responsiveness from the start
