[Hiring] Design Engineer @Nord Security

Role Description

We are looking for a passionate and skilled Design Engineer to join our Design Engineering team. You will build on and evolve Aurora, NordSecurity's multi-brand, multi-platform design system. Our system ships as multiple kits across multiple rendering stacks: ReactKit and AstroKit on the web, and AppKit on all other native implementations.

If you thrive at the intersection of design and code, treat the last 10% of polish as your actual job, and are excited about rebuilding design workflows around AI rather than bolting AI onto old ones, this role is for you.

Main Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and evolve Aurora component kits: ReactKit, AstroKit, and AppKit.
• Contribute to Aurora's visual and interaction language: component anatomy, variants, states, interaction behavior, and motion, in Figma and in code.
• Build internal design tooling: Figma plugins, CLI utilities, CI checks, prototyping tools, and other AI-native workflows.
• Evangelize & Innovate: Champion best practices and drive the adoption of design automation, tooling (like Storybook), and testing strategies.
• Enable Teams: Guide, train, and support product development teams in effectively adopting and utilizing the Aurora design system.
• Bridge Design & Code: Actively participate in the design process, providing technical input, prototyping interactions, and translating design concepts into polished, interactive, and performant UI components.
• Craft Interactions: Implement engaging animations and micro-interactions to enhance user experience.
• Ensure Accessibility: Build and maintain accessible components, ensuring compliance with relevant standards (e.g., WCAG AA).
• Technical Ownership: Own the technical implementation and architecture of the design system components, ensuring high standards for code quality, performance, and design fidelity.

Qualifications

• Proven experience building, maintaining, and scaling design systems.
• Strong product design fundamentals, visual hierarchy, typography, spacing, and interaction design.
• Strong command of Javascript, modern CSS (including TailwindCSS), and semantic HTML.
• Figma fluency: variables, component architecture, accurate design-to-code translation.
• Advanced knowledge and practical experience with Storybook.js for component development, documentation, and testing.
• Excellent ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines (design, engineering, product).
• Experience working with design tools like Figma, translating designs accurately into code.

Requirements

• Experience shipping in more than one technology already.
• Astro or another islands/SSG framework in production.
• Shipped Figma plugins or REST API integrations.
• Creative-dev range for brand work: GSAP, Three.js/WebGL.
• Experience on a platform team where other designers and engineers are your users.
• Style Dictionary (especially v4) or comparable token pipeline experience.

Benefits

• Training, mentorship, and room to grow — always.
• Extra vacation days, sick days, and time off when life calls.
• Private health insurance in Lithuania and Poland — fully covered.
• Free subscriptions to Calm, Headspace, and Mindletic, and our own resilience and mindfulness trainings.
• In-house gyms, sport cards, online workouts, and personal guidance — on us.
• Company-wide trip abroad to the fullest.
• Work from wherever keeps you in the zone.
• Gifts for birthdays, weddings, and new family members.
• Children’s summer camps and flexibility around the schedule.
• Team building and company events people talk about for months.
• Coffee bar, open gyms, kids’ room, music room, massage chairs — our Vilnius HQ is yours to enjoy.
