About The Position

Tradeify is seeking a Design Engineer, a hybrid role blending design and development skills, with proficiency in both AI-native tools and traditional design software. This individual will rapidly move from concept to shippable code, leveraging AI for visual direction, interaction prototyping, and front-end code generation, all guided by strong design judgment. The role supports Tradeify's website, digital products, and brands, with the unique ability to prototype and sometimes ship solutions directly. This is an ideal opportunity for a designer-coder or a developer with design acumen to work at the forefront of AI-assisted creation and development, reporting to the Head of Design and collaborating with various stakeholders.

Requirements

• A strong portfolio demonstrating shipped work — real websites, product surfaces, or prototypes designed and built, not just static comps.
• Genuine fluency with AI-native creation: comfortable generating, editing, and refining visuals with AI tools, and comfortable using AI coding assistants to write real front-end code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, or similar).
• Working proficiency in front-end development — enough to take a design idea from concept to a live, responsive build without a hand-off.
• Strong visual and UI fundamentals: typography, hierarchy, layout, color, and an understanding of web UX and how to structure a page around audience needs and desired actions.
• The ability to create polished brand and communication materials (decks, social graphics, marketing visuals) using AI tools.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work within an established brand system.
• Initiative to think through a problem before executing, and the ability to clearly explain reasoning.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, particularly in an asynchronous environment.
• A genuine interest in design and technology, and evidence of consistently experimenting, building, and improving craft.
• 1–3 years of relevant experience; the strength of portfolio, shipped work, and AI-native fluency matter more than years on a formal design or engineering team.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Next.js, Vue, Webflow, etc.).
• A track record of building and shipping personal or client projects largely through AI-assisted workflows.
• Experience creating motion graphics, micro-interactions, video, or 3D visuals with AI tools.
• Familiarity with conversion-focused web design.
• An interest in futures trading, financial markets, or fintech.

Responsibilities

• Design and build landing page sections, page variants, and marketing website experiences directly in code.
• Create and ship polished product UI for smaller features, enhancements, and design tickets, moving from concept to working front end without a traditional design-to-dev handoff.
• Produce brand collateral such as presentations, social graphics, campaign visuals, and other creative assets using AI generation and editing tools.
• Work within established brand and design systems while maintaining consistency across touchpoints.
• Apply strong typography, hierarchy, layout, color, and visual/content design principles, regardless of the tool used.
• Structure web experiences around what visitors already know, what they need, and the actions they're trying to take.
• Use AI tools (LLMs, image/video/3D generation, AI coding assistants) as the primary design and development environment.
• Rapidly explore multiple creative directions by generating and iterating with AI.
• Use AI-assisted coding tools to turn concepts directly into working, responsive front-end code.
• Pressure-test ideas quickly, prototype in the browser, and iterate based on real interaction.
• Apply strong judgment about where AI accelerates work and where hands-on craft is required.
• Stay current with new AI design/dev tools and integrate useful ones into the team's workflow.
• Contribute to new products, features, and business initiatives.
• Support marketing website and product improvements end-to-end, from idea to shipped code.
• Help design and implement conversion and UX optimizations.
• Partner with senior designers and engineers on larger, more complex projects.
• Use feedback, available data, and business context to refine work.
• Clarify small or underspecified briefs by asking thoughtful questions and defining scope.
• Explain the reasoning behind design and technical decisions, including directions considered and rejected.
• Communicate progress clearly in an asynchronous, remote environment.
• Document decisions and keep work organized (code repos, prompt libraries, brand assets).
• Manage multiple assignments and deliver high-quality, shipped work in a fast-moving environment.
• Incorporate feedback quickly and keep projects moving once direction is set.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Work at the leading edge of AI-native design and development.
• Gain exposure to product, web, brand, and growth work.
• Ship frequently and see the direct impact of work across the business.
• Learn from experienced designers and engineers.
• Develop greater ownership and independence.
• Remote-friendly, fast-moving environment.
• Help shape the digital experiences used by Tradeify's growing community of traders.
