Build polished, accessible, performant interfaces with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS; translate Figma designs into production-ready implementations; develop reusable components and design systems; improve usability, accessibility, performance, and frontend architecture; prototype rapidly with AI tools; and collaborate across Product, Design, and backend engineering.

Create production-ready mechanical designs using SolidWorks, including 3D CAD models, technical drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and manufacturing specifications. Revise designs, reverse engineer products, assess materials and manufacturability, calculate mass, and identify design risks. Develop engineering improvements, maintain accurate documentation, support multiple projects, and meet deadlines while working independently with US-based engineering teams.

Own and enhance Infisical’s website by building pixel-perfect, reusable frontend components, core pages, microsites, and frontend architecture. Integrate CMS, analytics, attribution, and marketing tools while implementing SEO, A/B testing, accessibility, performance, and conversion optimization. Collaborate with engineering, design, marketing, and company leadership to create a high-quality website that drives organic traffic and user adoption.

Build production frontend experiences across React web and React Native mobile, narrow the gap between Figma prototypes and production code, evolve and maintain a cross-platform design system, prototype interactions, add micro-interactions and motion, mentor frontend engineers, and collaborate closely with product and design. On-site in NYC.

Designs civil infrastructure projects with minimal oversight. Prepares contract documents, specifications, estimates, plans, and working drawings; conducts engineering investigations, field surveys, reviews, and studies; assesses existing conditions and compiles technical reports. Requires a bachelor's degree in civil engineering plus one year of experience, or bachelor's and master's degrees in civil engineering.

Design and build high-quality marketing, activation, checkout, and retention experiences that accelerate growth. Own the marketing design system, increase experiment velocity, partner with marketing, sales, product operations, and customer success, and measure experiment outcomes. The role combines advanced frontend development, visual and interaction design, responsive implementation, animation, customer discovery, data-informed experimentation, code review, and cross-functional project management.

Design and verify digital integrated circuits, including processor architectures, memory-management units, multicore systems, and cache systems. Responsibilities include defining specifications, analyzing architecture trade-offs, participating in design reviews, supervising IC layouts, developing behavioral models, characterizing prototypes, and coordinating product testing and releases. The program also provides exposure to design verification and analog design through training and on-the-job projects.
