Design Engineer

## We've built something people want. ComplyDo is a YC-backed startup based in Berlin building the AI-native operating system for enterprise compliance. We're working with leading enterprise customers, processing hundreds of regulations and standards, and growing fast. We’re looking for a design-minded engineer to help us make complex compliance workflows simple, intuitive, and enjoyable to use. You’ll join a small team with a lot of ownership, work closely with the founders, ship quickly, and have a direct impact on the product. ## The Role You’ll turn product requirements and customer problems into clear user journeys, thoughtful interfaces, and polished production experiences. This is primarily a UI/UX and frontend role, with enough full-stack experience to connect your work to APIs and backend workflows. You’ll help shape how features work and then build them. You should care deeply about both how a product works and how it feels. ## What You Will Work On * **User-facing UI/UX.** Design and build interfaces that make complex compliance workflows feel simple and intuitive. * **The design system.** Build and evolve our design system, including reusable components, typography, layout, and interaction patterns. * **Prototypes and production interfaces.** Turn early ideas and requirements into user journeys, prototypes, and production features. Implement responsive and accessible interfaces with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. * **Product storytelling.** Define the product’s visual language so others can apply it consistently in their work. You will help drive product design and visual quality across the team. --- ## Tech Stack * **Design:** Figma * **Frontend:** TypeScript, Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS * **Backend:** Python, MongoDB, Neo4j * **AI layer:** LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), LangChain, LangGraph, … You don’t need to know everything. We care about your ability to learn quickly and finish work end to end. ## How We Work * Small, focused teams. * Continuous deployment to production. * Strong ownership from idea to production. * We use AI tools heavily: Cursor, Claude, Codex, whatever makes you faster. ## What We Are Looking For **Must have:** * Strong frontend skills and experience with React and TypeScript. * Ability to build UI/UX that feels good, not just functional. You care about how things look and feel, not just whether they work. * The ability to turn vague problems into clear user journeys and shipped features. * Enough full-stack experience to connect frontend work to APIs and backend services. * Experience with Figma or a similar design tool. **Good to have:** * Experience building design systems. * Experience with complex workflows, dashboards, or enterprise software. * Side projects, hackathon projects, or open-source contributions. * Familiarity with compliance, legal tech, or regulated industries, but not required. **We are not looking for:** * Someone who needs years of experience to feel confident. We care about drive and curiosity not a CV. * Someone who prefers to be handed a detailed spec and execute. We want people who help write the spec. ## Working Here We work in person in Berlin. We believe hard problems get solved faster at a whiteboard than in a Slack thread. ---
