Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Design Engineer - **Company:** Ambrook Inc. - **Location:** New York, United States - **Experience:** Experienced - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Computer Animation, BigQuery, Code Review, PostgreSQL, Performance Tuning, Next.js, Software Engineering, TypeScript, ReactJS, Data Layers, Material UI, Figma, React Native, Front End Software Development, Software Coding - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/design-engineer-growth-ambrook-com-9775276 ## About the Role * 4+ years building high-quality web and mobile experiences, and at least two working on marketing surfaces or growth problems. * Strong design instincts: you can spot when something feels off in a UI, and you can take an idea from a high-fidelity Figma prototype to production yourself. * Advanced frontend skills: clean, performant code with a solid grasp of modern development workflows, animation, and responsive craft. * Design system ownership: you've built or worked extensively with component libraries and understand both the technical and human challenges. * Experimental thinking with data: an instinct for what is the experiment here, and how would we measure it, before writing code. * Real experience with, and appetite for, cross-functional collaboration. * You unblock yourself. You spot where things get hung up across people and move them. * Product sense and customer empathy: a feel for how someone reads and experiences our marketing and activation flows, lightweight copywriting, and the judgment to push back on copy or flow that won't land. * Humility & outcome-oriented. Not all of this work is glamorous; but all of it is impactful. * You keep up to date with the latest changes in AI tooling and think critically about how to apply them to your day to day. * Excited to build software that makes industries like agriculture more sustainable and profitable. * Bonus: Experience in agriculture. * Bonus: Experience building financial products. * Bonus: Experience with Typescript, React, React Native, Next.js, and/or a headless CMS like Sanity. ## Description * Own: The craft of our growth surfaces (marketing site, landing pages, activation flows, checkout) and the marketing design system underneath them. * Teach: Visual and interaction standards for marketing work, and how to hold a high bar while moving fast. * Learn: Ins and outs of building a fintech and climate tech company, including how real-economy producers evaluate, buy, and adopt software. * Improve: Experiment velocity across the company, by enabling others and setting an example with the work you ship. Our tech stack * Next.js / React application written in Typescript * Expo & React Native for mobile * Firestore, PostgreSQL & Google Cloud Storage at the data layer * Sanity for marketing content * Figma for design, custom component library for implementation * Running on GCP * BigQuery & Hex for data insights Within 1 month you'll… * Learn Ambrook's stack by designing and shipping a standalone growth surface end to end, instrumented so we can read the result. * Audit the visual and interaction quality of our marketing and activation surfaces, and share a note on where craft is costing us conversion. * Develop a deep intuition for our customers by joining discovery calls and feedback sessions with agricultural producers. * Contribute to Engineering and Design team meetings and review code from peers. Within 3 months you'll… * Own a system, not just a launch. For example, you may build the marketing design system that lets the team compose new pages independently, or a library of motion and interaction patterns in the mold of our platform page. * Ship bespoke, high-craft work where it earns its keep: custom widgets, product mockups, and animations that make the product legible before someone signs up. * Partner directly with growth, marketing, and sales, project-managing your own work. * Champion strong user data hygiene, operational security, and privacy practices. Within 6 months you'll… * Productionize multiple successful growth surfaces across marketing, sales, activation, and retention, held to a real quality bar. * Close the data loop, reporting out on the results from the experiments you drove. * Get involved in hiring and growing the team by evaluating / interviewing candidates. * Write about what you built and what it unlocked in a post on Inside Ambrook. We'll assess you on the systems you put in place and the experiment velocity you unlock, not on the volume of changes you ship., * Real Talk - We create space for ourselves and others to be straightforward, vulnerable, and accountable. * Reach Understanding - We are driven by curiosity and empathy to learn about our customers, team, and world. * Be Proactively Resourceful - We are internally motivated and externally empowered to identify opportunities and solve problems. * Derisk Thoughtfully - We lean into the biggest risks we face as a company and put in the work to address them systematically. * Find the Positive-Sum - We believe in creating incentive structures that align the needs of our company, our customers, and our planet. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [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) - [The Pragmatic Architect: Balancing Necessity vs. Sufficiency in React Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2101-the-pragmatic-architect-balancing-necessity-vs-sufficiency-in-react-systems) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 139 - Soft and hard queries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/487-dev-digest-139-soft-and-hard-queries) - [Dev Digest 130 - The Diablo is in the details](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/470-dev-digest-130-the-diablo-is-in-the-details) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
