Sunset is a B2B SaaS platform helping businesses unlock value from proprietary data while managing complex operational workflows like shutting down, data export, and compliance. The company has scaled to multi-eight-figure run rate in months with backing from top-tier investors (Floodgate, Afore, Ludlow, Hustle Fund).
As Design Engineer, you will own the full lifecycle of product interfaces—from ambiguous problem through polished production. This is a true design-engineering hybrid role, not a handoff between disciplines. You'll discover, prototype, and ship interfaces that make complex enterprise workflows (data export, connection status, long-running transfers, failure recovery) understandable and trustworthy.
Your first focus is the Data Portal's provider onboarding and connection status flows. You'll study how customers and the team acquire enterprise data, recover from failures, and navigate dissolution workflows. You'll turn branching, exception-heavy processes into clear information architecture and production interfaces.
Key responsibilities:
- Study customer workflows and pain points; test assumptions before polishing
- Explore interaction models at appropriate fidelity—sketches to Figma to coded prototypes
- Build production-quality interfaces in TypeScript/React with responsive behavior, accessibility, tests, and failure states
- Design moments that create trust: progress indicators, permissions, error recovery, human handoff, confirmation
- Create reusable components and patterns for consistency across providers and workflows
- Continuously improve visual hierarchy, copy, motion, and affordances across existing surfaces
- Use AI fluently in research, prototyping, and implementation while verifying output and maintaining human control
Success means consequential workflows become materially easier within 90 days, customers see steady visual and usability improvements, research changes design before implementation, and production interfaces handle real state and exceptions—not just happy paths.
