Job description

  • Design, build, test, document, and maintain reusable pv-components within our internal design system (PitViper)
  • Create thoughtful component APIs, composition patterns, variants, interaction states, and extension points that serve emerging product needs
  • Ensure components work naturally within Vue applications while remaining useful as native Web Components in HTML and other server-rendered product surfaces
  • Partner closely with product designers and engineers throughout the development process, from early exploration through production implementation
  • Work directly in application code to refine layouts, interactions, responsive behavior, typography, spacing, focus management, transitions, and feedback states
  • Last-mile design delivery: implementation of details that are often missed between a design file and production, including loading, empty, error, success, disabled, hover, and keyboard-navigation states
  • Review product surfaces for visual, behavioral, and accessibility inconsistencies, then fix them at the appropriate level: within the feature, shared application code, or Pit Viper
  • Improve the documentation, testing, release processes, and contribution practices that make Pit Viper easier for other teams to adopt, Lead the structural design and development of primary and secondary aircraft structures for autonomous UAVs. Own CAD modeling, drawings, FEA, stress and fatigue analysis, material selection, design reviews, validation testing, and compliance documentation. Collaborate across aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, manufacturing, and flight-test teams to transition designs into production and field deployment. Mentor engineers, support technical decisions, and improve engineering processes, configuration management, and design quality.

What you need to know about the Colorado Tech Scene

With a business-friendly climate and research universities like CU Boulder and Colorado State, Colorado has made a name for itself as a startup ecosystem. The state boasts a skilled workforce and high quality of life thanks to its affordable housing, vibrant cultural scene and unparalleled opportunities for outdoor recreation. Colorado is also home to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, helping cement its status as a hub for renewable energy innovation.

Key Facts About Colorado Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 260,000; 8.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Lockheed Martin, Century Link, Comcast, BAE Systems, Level 3
  • Key Industries: Software, artificial intelligence, aerospace, e-commerce, fintech, healthtech
  • Funding Landscape: $4.9 billion in VC funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Access Venture Partners, Ridgeline Ventures, Techstars, Blackhorn Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: Colorado School of Mines, University of Colorado Boulder, University of Denver, Colorado State University, Mesa Laboratory, Space Science Institute, National Center for Atmospheric Research, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Gottlieb Institute

Requirements

  • 5+ years building production web interfaces with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or TypeScript
  • 1+ years of direct, hands-on experience building or maintaining a design system, component library, or shared UI framework (not just consuming one)
  • Strong visual and interaction-design judgment. You can recognize why an interface feels unfinished and translate that observation into a concrete implementation
  • Production-level experience with Vue (or a comparable component framework - React/Svelte/Angular)
  • Demonstrable experience implementing accessibility standards (WCAG) in shipped components, not just design reviews
  • A portfolio, GitHub, or work sample showing before/after component or interaction work (not just visual mockups), * Experience authoring and publishing native Web Components consumed outside their originating framework
  • Experience working across a mixed-framework stack - a JS framework alongside server-rendered templates (Django, Rails, HTMX, or similar)
  • Experience contributing to or maintaining a component library used by 10+ other engineers/teams
  • Familiarity with Storybook, Figma-to-code tooling, or similar design-system tooling
  • Experience in healthcare, fintech, or another data-dense enterprise product domain

Benefits & conditions

Build and maintain Pit Viper, a reusable design system and component library, primarily with Vue and Web Components. Partner with designers and engineers to implement polished, accessible, responsive product experiences directly in application code. Define component APIs, interactions, states, documentation, testing, and release practices while improving consistency across Vue and server-rendered surfaces. Review and resolve usability, visual, behavioral, and accessibility issues, and help product teams ship higher-quality experiences more efficiently. The summary above was generated by AI

This is a fully remote role within the United States.

We’re looking for a product-minded Design Engineer to bridge the gap between design intent and the experience we ultimately ship. You’ll evolve Pit Viper, Turquoise Health’s design system and component library, while working directly in product code to improve the usability, consistency, accessibility, and polish of our applications.

Pit Viper includes visual foundations, layouts, CSS patterns, and pv-components built with Vue. Those components can also be distributed as native Web Components, allowing us to reuse the system in lighter-weight, server-driven parts of the product powered by Django templates.

You’ll help determine what the right interactions should be, implement them in production, and identify when an individual product improvement should become a reusable system capability.

Success in this role means being able to demonstrate outcomes such as:

  • A recurring product pattern that previously required one-off implementations is now supported by a flexible, well-documented pv-component
  • A critical workflow is materially easier to understand because its interaction, hierarchy, responsive behavior, and edge states have been refined in code
  • Vue and HTMX-powered product surfaces can use the same components without creating fragmented user experiences
  • Accessibility, visual consistency, and interaction issues are caught and resolved before release rather than during post-launch cleanup
  • Product engineers can ship high-quality experiences more quickly because our design system gives them stronger defaults, * Competitive pay with equity options
  • Stellar healthcare plan options, including Medical, Dental, and Vision, with FSA, DCFSA, and HSA options
  • Company-sponsored disability and life insurance
  • Unlimited PTO
  • 401(k) with 4% matching
  • Fully remote work and flexible working hours
  • $750 work-from-home setup budget
  • Paid biannual in-person company summits
  • Quarterly $150 co-hanging stipend to meet with coworkers
  • Monthly $100 health and wellness benefit
  • Generous paid family leave
  • Annual $1,200 learning and development stipend
