Design Engineer

We’re seeking a highly skilled Design Engineer to bring our product to life. This role is ideal for someone with a keen eye for design and a deep understanding of frontend engineering, combined with fullstack experience. As an early hire, you’ll have significant freedom and responsibility to shape our core product and culture alongside the founders.

About Lovable

Lovable is building the software that builds other software. As an early member of the team you will have a great impact on the company and working closely with the founders.

  • Work in close-knit team of IOI gold medalists, CTOs and founders.
  • Work on a problem that has the potential to create a historical shift in how we think about software.

Responsibilities

  • Transform product ideas into beautiful, functional interfaces without having to rely on detailed Figma files or designer handoffs, creating high-quality, end-to-end implementations directly from concepts or minimal guidance.
  • Collaborate with the founding team to define, design, and ship new features.
  • Take ownership of our frontend, while at the same time being able to execute on fullstack tasks. (We are happy to coach you in backend!)
  • Contribute to Lovable’s technical architecture, exploring and integrating the latest AI research and design principles.
  • Participate in all phases of the development lifecycle, including design, deployment, and maintenance.

Qualifications

  • Strong frontend development expertise, with an exceptional eye for detail and taste in design.
  • Proven experience across both frontend and backend development; comfortable with fullstack work.
  • Familiarity with various programming languages and frameworks, specifically in a design-heavy context.
  • Experience working on scalable, high-quality applications.
  • A hands-on, problem-solving attitude with a commitment to high standards.
  • Comfortable with iterative development processes and working within a fast-paced environment.

Our tech stack

We're currently using:

  • Frontend: React
  • Backend: (Typed) Python
  • Cloud: Cloudflare, Fly.io, Google's Cloud Run, Sentry

A great tech stack is important to us: We're set on combining open source frameworks that AI can build with, and that human devs love to maintain.

Who should apply

If you're passionate about product building, making a significant impact and shaping the future of software development alongside a team of ambitious previous founders, IOI gold medalists, CTOs, and product design we want to hear from you.
