Designer Who Codes

(See: Design Engineer, Product Designer with code experience, Front-end Engineer with a design focus...)

Zed is looking for an exceptionally technical designer to help us build the world's most advanced code editor.

In this role, you will:

• Work directly in Rust source code and collaborate with a small team of application engineers to implement features that make developers more productive
• Improve Zed's design system to make application development more efficient while keeping Zed's UI beautiful and consistent
• Help shape the product roadmap and build a strong vision for the next generation in developer tooling

We'd love to hear from you if:

• You love code and understand developer tools
• You enjoy working in a code editor as much as you do in Figma
• You're detail-oriented and have great taste
• You enjoy operating on the bleeding edge, work well with ambiguity, and ship
• You have 5+ years of professional experience in a design or front-end development role
• You are excited to learn Rust and get your hands dirty creating interfaces in Zed's custom-built UI framework, GPUI

If this sounds exciting to you, please send us an email including your name, geographic location, resume, and a link to your portfolio. Please also share why you're excited to work on Zed and any ideas you have for improving Zed's design.
