Job Description

Console is building a platform that redefines how enterprises operate. We use AI to autonomously resolve back office tasks the moment they come in from Slack or Teams. Our mission is to make enterprise operations invisible. The first step is building the best AI agent platform for IT, HR, and RevOps teams; one that deeply understands context, takes action, and improves systems over time.

Companies like Databricks, Figma, and Cursor already run their back office on Console. We've raised $29M, backed by Thrive Capital (investors in OpenAI, Stripe, GitHub) and a small group of founders who've built category-defining companies.

We’re unusually selective about the people we work with. We hire builders who span functions, optimize for speed, and care deeply about their craft. We do not care about pedigree. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Join us.

About the role

As a Design Engineer at Console, you’ll be responsible for the touches that make our product feel like magic. You will work closely with the product and design, and build out the front-end infrastructure that will separate Console from our competitors.

Some examples of work you might do:

  • Build a smooth and performant agent UX with streaming responses and interleaved UI components

  • Design, extend, and own Console's design system

  • Find screens, views, and components that could use a bit of animation flair, then dial it in

You'll straddle the boundary of design and engineering, applying your own taste and creativity and helping bring the product vision to life in beautiful detail.

About you

  • You have strong generalist design and technical skills, and you know how to maximize your impact to make the product feel great and work well

  • You have excellent taste; you understand that the best product experiences feel great to use and you care deeply about getting the little details right

  • You have experience driving all the way from idea -> design -> implementation

  • You have a strong front-end skillset, have worked with and built out design systems, and are comfortable collaborating closely with other designers

Requirements

  • 4+ years of full-time design or design engineering experience, and a strong grasp on front-end engineering

  • Comfortable working and contributing across the entire stack (Typescript/Node/React)

  • Obsessed with building incredible product experiences for users, and never happy with "good enough"

Why join Console?

  • Product-market fit: We have built the leading product in our category, in a massive market. We've hit an inflection point and are on track to build a generational company.

  • World-class team: We seek high agency contributors who are comfortable navigating ambiguity, ruthlessly prioritize what matters and are action-biased.

  • Grow with us: We reward impact, not credentials or years of experience. We intend to grow talent from within as we scale up.

  • Competitive pay and benefits: top compensation with full benefits including:

    • Equity with early exercise & QSBS eligibility

    • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

    • Unlimited PTO

    • 401(k)

    • Meals provided daily in office
