Full Job Description
What You'll Do
Define the design language of Concourse: the conventions every product inherits, from casing and form patterns to error and empty states, motion, and authentication flows
Create flexible components FDPMs can leverage, configurable enough to model many workflows and constrained enough that a non-engineer can assemble a product without breaking the standard
Own the design library every Concourse product is built on, from tokens and primitives through components, motion, templates, and documentation
Ship all of it as production front-end code, built with AI agents alongside engineers, rather than as Figma files for somebody else to interpret
Find elegant solutions for complicated government workflows: multi-approver reviews, conditional fee schedules, statutory deadlines, and legacy data models that were never designed to be seen by the public
What We're Looking For
A portfolio: what have you shipped end-to-end, under real client pressure, with real constraints?
Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Factory, etc.) as a core part of your daily workflow, with a strong sense of what AI can and will be able to do
High-agency, high-velocity mindset with an exceptional work ethic
5+ years of product design experience, including early-stage startup experience
A design system you've built or substantially shaped that held up across more than one product; you design for the case you haven't seen yet
Comfort in extreme ambiguity; a project often starts with a statute, a screenshot of a 20-year-old system, and a partner who can't fully articulate what they need
Pixel-level standards alongside systems thinking
Comfort with code as your deliverable; Figma can be a thinking tool here, but it is not the output
Strong relationship-building skills with non-technical stakeholders; you can sit with a county clerk or a school IT director and turn their workflow into an interface
US citizen or work authorization
