About this role

About The Role

As a Product Designer you'll sit at the intersection of product design, product thinking, and front-end engineering - someone who can take early, ambiguous ideas and turn them into interactive, evaluable experiences fast, helping teams make better decisions sooner.

This role is front-end and systems-heavy, with a strong balance of hands-on building and product design partnership. You’ll help us scale and evolve Alchemy’s UI system - owning core components, patterns, and implementation quality - while also jumping into product work when needed to unblock teams and raise the craft bar.

This is a high-leverage role: you’ll reduce handoff friction, increase prototype velocity, and elevate UI quality through hands-on building, close collaboration, and a strong point of view on systems.

What You'll Do

  • Build production-quality prototypes (and, when appropriate, ship production front-end code) to validate UX direction quickly - often on tight timelines.

  • Own and evolve Alchemy’s design system in practice: build and maintain reusable components, patterns, and interaction primitives that scale across products.

  • Translate design intent into high-quality React/TypeScript UI, with attention to spacing, hierarchy, motion, and interaction polish.

  • Drive system scalability: identify gaps, propose improvements, and ship additions that make the product ecosystem more consistent and faster to build.

  • Partner closely with product designers to improve the craft and feasibility of design work - bringing an engineer’s pragmatism and a designer’s taste.

  • Collaborate tightly with product engineers to reduce rework and make the path from prototype → implementation smoother.

  • Improve “how we build UI” muscle across teams: documentation, examples, and workflow improvements that raise the baseline.

  • Build for an AI-native product future: create interaction patterns and UI foundations that support rapid experimentation and iteration in AI-driven experiences.

  • Contribute to design-system adoption and quality: tokens/components/docs, accessibility standards, and tooling (e.g., Storybook) when needed.

  • Help teams iterate in short cycles (e.g., ~5 - 10 day “idea → prototype → decision” loops), bringing clarity to what’s possible and what’s worth building.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong front-end fundamentals and comfort building interactive UI (e.g., React + TypeScript; equivalent stacks welcome).

  • Systems-minded builder: you’ve shipped and maintained component libraries / design systems (tokens, components, documentation, adoption).

  • A designer’s eye: you care about hierarchy, spacing, typography, interaction details, and visual polish.

  • Proven ability to prototype quickly without sacrificing craft - and to choose the right fidelity for the question at hand.

  • Ability to operate in ambiguity and move fast with high ownership.

  • Clear communicator across disciplines; you can translate between design intent and technical constraints.

  • Bonus: accessibility fluency, Storybook (or similar), motion/animation experience, and experience scaling design systems across multiple product surfaces.
