Senior Design Engineer

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. Those components can also be distributed as native Web Components, allowing us to reuse the system in lighter-weight, server-driven parts of the product powered by Django templates.

You’ll help determine what the right interactions should be, 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 because its interaction, hierarchy, responsive behavior, and edge states have been refined in code

• 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 rather than during post-launch cleanup

• Product engineers can ship high-quality experiences more quickly because our design system gives them stronger defaults

• Design, build, test, document, and maintain reusable pv-components within our internal design system (Pit Viper)

• 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 in HTML and other server-rendered product surfaces

• Partner closely with product designers and engineers throughout the development process, from early exploration through production implementation

• 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 that are often missed between a design file and production, including loading, empty, error, success, disabled, hover, and keyboard-navigation states

• Review product surfaces for visual, behavioral, and accessibility inconsistencies, then fix them at the appropriate level: within the feature, shared application code, or Pit Viper

• Improve the documentation, testing, release processes, and contribution practices that make Pit Viper easier for other teams to adopt

• 5+ years building production web interfaces with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or Type Script

• 1+ years of direct, hands-on experience building or maintaining a design system, component library, or shared UI framework (not just consuming one)

• Strong visual and interaction-design judgment. You can recognize why an interface feels unfinished and translate that observation into a concrete implementation

• Production-level experience with Vue (or a comparable component framework — React/Svelte/Angular)

• Demonstrable experience implementing accessibility standards (WCAG) in shipped components, not just design reviews

• A portfolio, or work sample showing before/after component or interaction work (not just visual mockups)

• Experience authoring and publishing native Web Components consumed outside their originating framework

• Experience working across a mixed-framework stack — a JS framework alongside…
