About the Role

Authorium is seeking a Design Engineer to design and ship production interfaces for government users, working independently and leveraging AI-native tooling. This role involves taking ideas from concept to polished, functional interfaces, with a focus on making complex, high-stakes government workflows navigable and efficient.

Responsibilities

• Design and build features from concept through interaction design, prototyping, and production front-end implementation.
• Write code that ships, not just specifications.
• Build and maintain interfaces in the codebase (Hotwire / Next.js), partnering with Engineering on architecture, state, and performance.
• Utilize Claude Design and other AI tooling for rapid prototyping and component development.
• Improve UX across the platform, including intake, approvals, document generation, evaluations, configuration, and reporting.
• Contribute to the design system by developing components, patterns, and libraries.
• Shape the integration of AI features into the product, ensuring AuthorAI is context-aware and trustworthy.
• Design and build for accessibility and compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA).
• Review work against design intent, maintaining fidelity and polish.
• Work in sprints, manage tasks in Jira, and participate in planning and grooming.
• Collaborate with PMs on problem framing and scope tradeoffs.
• Partner with Engineering on feasibility and front-end quality.
• Conduct user research, including usability checks and workflow observations, to inform interface improvements.

Requirements

• 2–3 years of experience building digital products with both design and front-end implementation.
• Strong front-end engineering skills, including Next.js and modern CSS.
• Experience working in a production codebase.
• Strong design craft, including interaction design, layout, and attention to detail in data-heavy interfaces.
• Demonstrated fluency with Claude Design or comparable AI design/build tools, with examples of shipped work.
• Proficiency in Figma, including components, libraries, auto-layout, and prototyping.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping, making judgment calls with incomplete information.
• Ability to transition between design and code within the same day.
• Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA).
• Clear communication skills, able to explain decisions in terms of user outcomes and tradeoffs.
• Experience with dense, workflow-driven enterprise / B2B products (Nice to Have).
• Exposure to government, public sector, or regulated environments (Nice to Have).
• Experience with product analytics tools (Pendo, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar) (Nice to Have).
• Experience integrating AI features into a product UI (Nice to Have).
