About the Role

Sunset partners with frontier AI labs, providing them with proprietary data generated by businesses. This role involves discovering, designing, and shipping interfaces that make complex data export, transfer verification, and company dissolution processes understandable and trustworthy. It's a true design-engineering role where code is a design material, focusing on user interaction from problem conception to polished production.

Responsibilities

  • Study how customers and our team acquire enterprise work data, recover from failed connections, and move through dissolution.
  • Turn branching, long-running, and exception-heavy workflows into clear information architecture, interaction models, and production interfaces.
  • Explore new flows at the fidelity the question requires, moving quickly from sketches or Figma into coded interactions with realistic state.
  • Build production-quality interfaces in TypeScript and React, including responsive behavior, accessibility, tests, instrumentation, and failure states.
  • Continuously improve visual hierarchy, layout, copy, motion, affordances, and flow across existing product surfaces.
  • Design the moments that create trust: progress, provenance, permissions, uncertainty, errors, recovery, human handoff, and consequential confirmation.
  • Work directly with customers, domain experts, Product, and Engineering to test assumptions.
  • Create reusable components and interaction patterns that make new providers and workflows coherent by default.
  • Use AI deeply in research, prototyping, implementation, testing, and product experiences while verifying its output and designing clear human control.

Requirements

  • At least three years of professional experience designing and building digital products.
  • Equally credible in interaction design and production frontend code, including TypeScript, React, and CSS.
  • Use code as a design material and can explore several interaction directions quickly.
  • Taken ambiguous product problems from research and framing through implementation, measurement, and iteration.
  • Can make complex state understandable without hiding exceptions, uncertainty, permissions, or recovery.
  • Strong visual and interaction craft and care about accessibility, responsive behavior, motion, and the details of real use.
  • Can build reusable systems without turning every product decision into a design-system project.
  • Startup experience and enjoy broad ownership, changing context, and building without a complete specification.
  • Use modern AI tools fluently, verify their output, and have a point of view about when AI improves or weakens a product experience.

  • TypeScript
  • React
  • CSS
