This role supports a modern engineering software platform serving the marine, offshore, and structural engineering industries. The ideal candidate moves fast from business requirements to high-fidelity prototypes, thinks in design systems rather than one-off screens, and understands the workflows of engineers who work in 3D CAD and simulation environments. ## Related Videos - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [NoLoJS - Avoiding JavaScript Cruft with HTML and CSS - Aaron T.
