The Platform Experience team.
As a Frontend Designer at Falcon.io, you will be a part of the Platform Experience team overseeing our platform-wide initiatives where you will help build our Design System that feeds back into our products that serve thousands of customers. You will work within the entire Design System stack alongside our agile team of fellow Frontend Designers, Product Designers, and application-level Frontend Engineers. You will collaborate with Product Designers to take their designs from initial ideation stages to final Design System components, and constantly look towards the future of systematizing design at scale.
A Frontend Engineer with the heart of a Designer.
This is a chance to work as an engineer directly within our experienced, cross-office design team to leverage a design-driven approach to engineering and build tools and systems around our ambitious design goals that will drive the future of our platform.
We also take part in the larger Frontend group where you will get to interact, learn from, and brainstorm with experienced colleagues — all with a clear focus on delivering high-quality solutions and following modern best practices.
All teams share the mission of building a world-class platform that solves the human problems of our customers. This shared mission creates a great environment for all of us to learn and evolve together.

- Be responsible for UI/UX development across our platform and bring designs to life in a systematized, scalable, and consistent way
- Be at the intersection of engineering and design, and empower our teams to build the best products possible

- Fluent in writing modern, accessible, and performant HTML and CSS
- Experience with CSS pre-processors such as SCSS/LESS, post-processors such as PostCSS, and frameworks such as Bootstrap
- Real world experience with UI/UX development — preferably from creating web apps at scale
- Familiarity with design-driven development and design patterns — a deep appreciation for typography, color, layout, and aesthetics is a must
- Experience with rapid prototyping of design concepts through code
- Highly motivated, self-driven, and collaborative work attitude
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
- Experience with Angular and TypeScript
Skills that are a plus for this position:
