Design Engineer

Our mission is to empower teams to become great storytellers.

Our vision is to build dynamic visual experiences.

More than 20,000 teams use Arcade to tell better, more engaging product stories, and we need your help spreading the word! Culturally, we are a team of ex-Atlassians, AngelList, and Shopify teammates. We believe in building beautiful, easy-to-use products that meaningfully improve how software companies showcase their product at every stage of a customer journey.

You’ll design and prototype new product flows and interactions, turning early ideas into high-fidelity experiences that push our thinking forward. Sometimes that means building quick prototypes to explore possibilities, and other times it means taking a 0→1 feature all the way into a first live version. Through it all, you’ll bring a strong sense of craft, making sure what we ship feels thoughtful, polished, and cohesive.

• You care about how things look and feel — from the big picture of a flow to the spacing of a button or the timing of an animation.

• You get excited by the little details others might miss, and love when the craft shines through.

• Design is your foundation, but you’re comfortable jumping into code to take an idea from sketch to prototype, and sometimes all the way to a first live version.

• You’re curious about how AI is reshaping products and workflows, and you’ve had hands-on experience designing or building with AI-powered tools or features.
  

• Strong craft, backed by a portfolio that demonstrates attention to detail.

• Ability to code in a React/TypeScript/Tailwind environment for prototypes and early product implementations.

• Experience navigating 0→1, moving from vague ideas to tangible, testable experiences.

• Strong communication skills, you can clearly explain the “why” behind your decisions.

• Be a coach: We want the best for our customers and ourselves. We coach people to help them achieve their best potential. An “Arcader” is both a teammate and a customer. There is a reason that the same word describes both.

• Carry the weight: We are owners. Let’s empower each other. When we see something that needs change, we lead through it.

• An open book: We are open as a team and as a product. We don’t put walls up unless it’s necessary. We become better when we share information. We are open to diversity of opinion, backgrounds, and thought.

• Play as a team: We play because we’re a creator tool. Life is short. Let’s build something meaningful. We play as a team because great teams build great things together. We keep those standards high.

• Be kind: We can be honest and kind. We can have high standards and be kind. We can say no and be kind. Kindness can vary across cultures, upbringings, and languages - but we try our best to be kind.
