Hi I'm Aidan, founder of Maple.At Maple, we're building AI agents that work for local businesses: restaurants, salons, repair shops, and everything in between. These agents answer calls, take orders, book appointments, and handle real customer interactions over natural voice.
But our bigger mission goes deeper: we're building
automated ontologies that model how businesses actually operate - their services, workflows, constraints, and language - so our agents can adapt to them instantly. We meet businesses where they are, not where software wants them to be.
We have
many customers, strong revenue growth, years of runway, and backing from world-class investors. I'll share more once we meet.
About the roleAs a
Design Engineer, you'll be at the center of how we build products. You'll own entire surfaces of the product: dashboards, config tools, real-time monitoring, internal ops UIs. You'll prototype new ideas and bring structure to chaos, designing tools that scale across dozens of verticals with minimal friction.
We work
in person, 5 days a week in our NYC office. Collaboration here is fast, noisy (in the best way), and high-trust. We move quickly, break things intentionally, and fix them just as fast.
What you'll do- Build product-facing and internal tools using TypeScript, React, and Tailwind
- Design and implement intuitive ways for customers to manage AI agents and define business logic
- Develop reusable components and own our emerging design system
- Prototype new features, test them with customers, and ship fast
- Help define our approach to UI architecture, scaling, and visual systems
- Work closely with our founders, engineers, and customers
- Contribute to a product culture that values clarity, speed, and leverage
What we're looking for- Strong experience in React, TypeScript, CSS, and modern frontend workflows
- Product taste: you know when something feels right and why
- Systems thinking: you like building primitives, not one-offs
- Experience designing and building tools, dashboards, and/or configuration UIs
- Comfortable owning full features from wireframe to code
- Bonus: experience with Figma, LLMs, conversational interfaces, or backend TypeScript
- 4-8+ years experience preferred, but we're flexible for the right person
How we work- We optimize for leverage. That means great internal tooling, fast CI/CD, and code that scales across many customer types
- We believe in deep ownership. Engineers here talk to users, design features, and ship fast
- We value clarity over process. You'll spend most of your day building, not waiting on decisions
- We move in person. We're a tight-knit team that moves fast and solves problems together
What we offer- Competitive salary + meaningful equity
- A real product with real usage and growing revenue
- Strong In-person culture, fast feedback loops, and zero bureaucracy
- A small team that feels like a founding team
- Full health, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, and unlimited PTO
- Tools budget, coffee budget, whatever-you-need-to-be-great budget
