Description
TripleTen is a leading educational service that helps people learn tech industry skills, regardless of their prior experience. We build a technological education platform, strengthened by AI and human support. Currently, we operate in the US and Latin America.
Anton is looking for a design engineer to join the product team. Our product has many moving parts — product development, engineering, AI, curriculum, learning services, and more. The role of design is to bring all of this together into a clear, polished user experience. That’s why strong systems thinking is key for this role.
Design engineering is a new function at TripleTen, and you’ll be the first with this title. We believe combining design and engineering perspectives leads to better results and faster progress. We expect you to design, prototype, polish, and ship — often together with product, design, and engineering partners, but sometimes fully independently.
As one of the few designers at TripleTen, you’ll have a big impact on our design culture, visual language, tools, and processes. You should enjoy building, learning from mistakes, and navigating high context, complexity, and constant change. That’s why we put a high value on experience in a startup-like environment.
What you will do
- Ship high-quality, production-ready UI that nails the details — from typography and color to motion and microinteractions.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to deliver high-impact features and close gaps.
- Own the UX and polish, raising the quality bar across the product. Make learning feel human and playful.
- Foster consistency as we scale across products, platforms, and markets. Put in the effort to find elegant, simple, and scalable solutions.
- Maintain and scale our design system across all surfaces.
- Lead proof-of-concept work for new ideas and experiences.
Requirements
- High agency and a builder mindset. You’re professionally mature, with several years of experience, and able to see a project through every stage of the design process. You act without being told and genuinely care about the outcome of your work.
- Sharp taste and a strong sense of motion and interaction. You sweat the details and can create UI that’s both lovable and practical.
- Frontend engineering skills. You can prototype, polish, and ship — and also help others grow their technical abilities.
- The ability to balance craft, speed, and the bottom line. You’re comfortable moving fast and know how to prioritize what truly matters in an environment where there’s always too much to do.
- A growth mindset. Our mission is to help students adapt to a constantly changing world — and we start with ourselves. You quickly pick up new tools and skills, always looking for ways to future-proof your craft.
- Excellent communication and writing skills. You bring low ego, a “strong beliefs, loosely held” attitude, and a strong ability to listen and learn. You’re comfortable working cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, researchers, data analysts, and design peers.
Bonus points
- Full-stack development expertise. Users don’t split products into frontend, backend, or infrastructure. While your main focus will be on frontend, we value a generalist mindset and the ability to ship across the stack.
- Experience building AI tools with strong intuition around prompting, evals, models, and AI UX. This is especially valuable as AI becomes a core part of our product and workflow.
- An analytical mindset with the ability to process qualitative and quantitative data and draw meaningful insights. Bonus points if you’re familiar with PostHog!
What we can offer you
- Full-time remote work from anywhere in Europe, with the option of employment in Germany or at our Serbian hub.
- Competitive salary — €5000–€6000, depending on experience and skills.
- Growth and creative freedom in a fast-growing product. You’d have to try hard to get bored.
- Real impact and “changing people’s lives” as a product promise — not an empty corporate motto.
- Diverse and tight-knit team spread out across Europe, the US, and more.
- Flexible schedule and a comfortable digital office. Notion, Slack, FigJam, Google Meet, and all that jazz.
