Design Engineer ($150k-$200k + Equity) at Aranya.tech
About The Position
Join a 4-person founding team to define the visual and interaction layer of ClusterdOS. You will re-imagine how humans interact with distributed systems, turning complex Kubernetes infrastructure into an intuitive, accessible experience. This role blends deep interaction design with production-grade frontend engineering to create an entirely new computing paradigm from the ground up. Why this role is remarkable: Rare opportunity to define the "desktop metaphor" for distributed computing as one of the first five employees at a high-growth startup. Work directly with a founding team from Hyperbolic, Crusoe Energy, and MIT on a live, open-source product already gaining traction. High-impact environment with meaningful founding-stage equity and the chance to build a design system for the next generation of infrastructure.
Requirements
- 3-5+ years of experience with a design-first mindset and strong engineering skills in React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.
- Exceptional portfolio showcasing high-fidelity UI/UX work with a level of polish comparable to industry leaders like Vercel, Linear, or Ramp.
- Strong intuition for motion design and the ability to translate technical infrastructure complexity into elegant, user-friendly interfaces without oversimplifying.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement the visual language of ClusterdOS, including micro-interactions, motion design, and complex user flows for cluster provisioning.
- Create novel visualization systems that make distributed state legible and delightful using React, TypeScript, and real-time reactive state management.
- Prototype rapidly in code to test interaction patterns, establishing a robust component library that bridges the gap between design and engineering.
