About this role

As a Design Engineer at Umbrel, you'll lead the frontend and have complete ownership over it. umbrelOS' UI is built with React, Tailwind, Framer Motion, and TypeScript (tRPC). Here's how it looks: https://youtu.be/Q-vmmboobEM?si=6courLDchPFqeZfd

We hope you are someone who:

• Is so paranoid about the implementation of the Figma mockup that they trust no one but themselves to code the frontend

• Ships UI components in React.js

• Cares deeply about crafting beautiful and soulful user interfaces that are full of life

• Obsesses over micro-interactions and animations

• Is extremely supportive, especially when teammates are faced with new challenges

• Leaves no opportunity to sneak jokes into the source code

• Likes to autonomously figure out solutions

• Thinks hard about every problem and its solution from the user’s perspective

• Values clear and frequent communication (we do a lot of reading and writing)

• Enjoys being a generalist and is not tied down to a specific framework or surface area of the codebase

• Is naturally curious and willing to learn more

• Feels a great sense of accountability to teammates

• Has a good judgement of when to ship
