Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Design Engineer - **Company:** Metriport Inc. - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States (Remote available) - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Design of User Interfaces, Human-Computer Interaction, ReactJS, Electronic Medical Records, Production Code, Figma, Front End Software Development - **Published:** September 21, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.careerbuilder.com/job-details/design-engineer-san-francisco-ca--91bc1e05-104c-4af9-b79c-9bec3be7589c ## About the Role Were a small, high-output team, mostly former founders including YC alumni, and we operate with real autonomy and almost no bureaucracy. We hire on competence, not pedigree. Leaders are in the office six days a week, and we generally expect the team to be available six days a week too. Not because we count hours, but because theres always more wood to chop when revolutionizing how tomorrow's healthcare providers deliver care to their patients today. We trust our team to take the time off they need and weve never said no to a time off request. You have an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong sense of ownership. You dont wait to be told whats broken. Instead, you believe you can figure out any problem that lands in your lap even outside your exact domain. When someone scopes something for three weeks, you ask why it cant be done in three days, and you also know the difference between shipping a fast v0 and cutting a corner that comes back to bite you. You walk the tightrope between craft and speed without falling off either side., * Design instincts: You produce Figma work that is considered and defensible - with clear opinions on typography, hierarchy, and interaction patterns. * Frontend fluency: You understand React well enough to lead implementation and run reviews - component architecture, rendering behavior, state management. * Pragmatism: You know what to polish and what to ship. You walk the tightrope between craft and speed without falling off either side. * The "Metriport" Mindset: Low ego, high ownership. You ask "Why cant this be done in 3 days?" instead of 3 weeks., Apple MacBook, Clinical Medicine, Healthcare, Healthcare Providers, Medical Record System, Patient Care, Polish Language, Systems Maintenance, Technical/Engineering Design, Typography, User Interface/Experience (UI/UX) ## Description As a Design Engineer at Metriport, youll spend your time understanding customer workflows, designing the best solution to those problems, and implementing your own designs. If youre someone who is excited by broad ownership and making consequential decisions - while taking on work that others might consider way too much - you might be a good fit. At Metriport we think of design like a rough-hewn yet elegant table: does its job, looks right in the room, built to last, and finished. Youll bring that sensibility to everything - knowing when a design decision needs more thought and when it needs to ship. We strongly believe in the 80/20 rule here, and rely on everyone joining our team to use it so that we can ship fast, and continue to delight our users! What Youll Do Build and maintain the design system and establish a coherent design language - components, spacing, typography, color - that is simple. Lead frontend implementation and set direction on the frontend, review implementation against design intent, and write production code where it matters most. Youre strong enough in React to be the authority in the room. Talk to, and advocate for, users understand their workflows, form an opinionated view on the right solution, and drive toward it. Solve data-dense UI problems and build interfaces that surface complex, high-volume medical data. Make hard layout and performance tradeoffs and know when good enough is correct and when it isnt. ## Related Videos - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [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) - [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) - [But, you're not Facebook](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/378-but-you-re-not-facebook) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Dev Digest 139 - Soft and hard queries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/487-dev-digest-139-soft-and-hard-queries) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
