About Superset
Superset is building self-improving software. It starts with giving engineers the best tools that adapt to their needs over time. Today, tens of thousands of engineers run Superset as their primary IDE, at companies like Wix, DoorDash, and Netflix.
We're building a flat and talent-dense team, and we're looking for people who have crazy ideas and are crazy enough to ship them. If you want to build a product you love to use, come build it with us.
About the role
As agents take on more of the coding, how should people direct the work, understand what’s happening, and decide what ships? We’re looking for a founding design engineer to help define that experience.
You’ll partner closely with our CPO to shape the product, owning design and frontend implementation from early exploration through production in React and TypeScript. You’ll also define how Superset presents itself to the world through our brand and website.
What you’ll do
- Design and build the workflows engineers use to coordinate agents, understand their progress, step in when needed, and review their work.
- Own our visual direction across the product, website, and launch pages.
- Prototype quickly, then refine typography, motion, keyboard interactions, and accessibility.
- Talk directly with users, use feedback and product data to guide decisions, and improve the experience after it ships.
- Build design systems, reusable components, and interaction patterns that help the team and coding agents ship consistent interfaces.
