About the role
The Design team in Clexerl Go works as one group with the engineers who build the product. Design engineers prototype interactions in code before anyone draws them in a tool, so the motion, timing and states of a screen are tested on a real device rather than argued about in a review.
Clexerl Go asks people to hand work to agents and trust what comes back, which makes the interface itself part of the safety case. Every proposed change needs a visible state, a reason and a way back, and the component library has to carry those patterns consistently across web, iOS and the calculator utility in Calkulate.
What you’ll do
- Prototype screens and interactions in React and CSS, with real data and realistic latency, before design sign-off.
- Build and maintain shared components in the design system, with typed props and documented states.
- Specify motion curves, durations and reduced-motion fallbacks, and check them on low-end Android and iOS devices.
- Test interaction patterns with users and agents in the loop, then change the code the same day.
- Review pull requests for visual consistency, spacing tokens and accessible names, and leave written reasons.
- Pair with product designers on early concepts, and say plainly when a flow is too complicated to ship.
What you’ll bring
- Experience writing production front-end code in React and TypeScript, with a designer's eye for spacing and type.
- Working knowledge of CSS layout, animation performance and how the browser composites a page.
- A portfolio of shipped interfaces, or prototypes you can run in a browser and explain in detail.
- Familiarity with Figma or a similar tool, used as a way to communicate rather than a finished artefact.
- Comfort with accessibility basics: contrast, focus order, screen reader labels and keyboard operation.
Nice to have
- Experience with design tokens, theming across light and dark modes, or multi-platform component libraries.
- Background in animation libraries, physics-based motion or 3D rendering on the web.
- Work on data visualisation or dense information layouts such as tables, calendars or timelines.
- Familiarity with usability testing methods, including think-aloud sessions and task-based studies.
Work you might take on
- 01
Prototype the agent proposal card with its reason, diff and undo control, and test it on three real devices.
- 02
Build a shared date and time picker for the calendar views that handles time zones and all-day events consistently.
- 03
Create an empty-state and error-state pattern library for tasks, CRM lists and sync conflicts.
- 04
Design and build a reduced-motion mode for the timeline, with tests that confirm no essential information relies on animation.
