Own the design engineering process at Infisical, improve user experience and design systems while collaborating directly with co-founders and engineering teams.
Infisical is looking to hire exceptional talent to join our teams in building the open source security infrastructure stack for the AI era.
We're building a generational company with a world-class team. This isn’t a place to coast — but if you want to grow fast, take ownership, and solve tough problems, you’ll be challenged like nowhere else.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a Design Engineer who is excited to own and elevate the user-facing experience of our rapidly growing platform. You should excel at creating features end-to-end with a strong focus on look and feel (~30% backend development).
Infisical is a deeply technical product with user and developer experience at the heart of our product philosophy. We obsess over product design and have made rounds to redesign just about every part of the platform since inception. Examples of past initiatives include revamping existing features like secret syncs and secret rotation; and developing new product lines ground up such as Infisical PKI and Infisical SSH.
You’ll be working closely with the co-founders and engineering team to:
Revamp and elevate. Continuously improve the look, feel, and usability of Infisical. Rethink navigation, redesign workflows, and raise the bar on every surface of the product.
Own the design system. Build and maintain a reusable component library that makes it easy for the rest of the team to ship polished UI without getting stuck on design decisions.
Be the design voice on the team. Work closely with other engineers to unblock them on UX questions, critique implementations, and push the team to make intuitive UI.
Build end-to-end. Take features from concept to production across the stack, with a strong focus on the frontend experience.
Requirements
Deep technical mastery of the JavaScript ecosystem, particularly React and TypeScript (3+ years of experience).
A sharp eye for product design and intuitive UX. When you notice when something feels off, you know how to fix it.
Exceptional attention to detail and willingness to iterate quickly with feedback.
Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco.
Bonus
Prior experience with product design or design tools like Figma. You can contribute to the design process, not just implement it.
Prior experience building or maintaining design systems.
How You’ll Grow
In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in shaping Infisical’s future – exploring creative product directions, owning key design decisions, building out platform interfaces, and refining existing user experiences.
Overall, you'll have the opportunity to take full ownership of design engineering at Infisical and be one of the defining pieces of our team as we scale to thousands of customers over the next 18 months.
Team, Values & Benefits
Our team brings experience from companies like Figma, AWS, and Red Hat. We operate primarily as a remote team but maintain a strong presence in San Francisco, where we have an office. We also get together in person throughout the year for off-sites, conferences, and team gatherings.
At Infisical, we offer competitive compensation, including both salary and equity options. Additional benefits, such as a lunch stipend and a work setup budget, are available with more details to be found on our careers page.
