[Hiring] Senior Design Engineer @Turquoise

Role Description

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.
• Components can be distributed as native Web Components, allowing reuse in lighter-weight, server-driven parts of the product powered by Django templates.
• You’ll help determine the right interactions, 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 due to refined interaction, hierarchy, responsive behavior, and edge states.
• 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.
• Product engineers can ship high-quality experiences more quickly because our design system provides stronger defaults.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Strong visual and interaction-design judgment.
• Production-level experience with Vue (or a comparable component framework — React/Svelte/Angular).
• Demonstrable experience implementing accessibility standards (WCAG) in shipped components.
• A portfolio, GitHub, or work sample showing before/after component or interaction work.

Requirements

• 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.
• Partner closely with product designers and engineers throughout the development process.
• 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 often missed between a design file and production.
• Review product surfaces for visual, behavioral, and accessibility inconsistencies, then fix them appropriately.
• Improve the documentation, testing, release processes, and contribution practices for Pit Viper.

Benefits

• 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.
