About the role
We're looking for a Senior Design Engineer with a genuine eye for detail. Day-to-day, you'll be building React components and UI features — translating complex financial interfaces into clean, robust code that gets things exactly right.
You care about the details. The spacing, the interaction, the edge case that nobody else noticed — that's the kind of thing that matters to you, and it shows in your work.
How you can make an impact:
- Build React components and UI features across our web products, working closely from design specs
- Contribute to and maintain Aave's component library and design system
- Work with designers to understand intent — and proactively find resolutions when something doesn't translate cleanly into our systems
- Write clean, consistent TypeScript and CSS that other engineers enjoy working with
- Collaborate with the wider engineering team to ensure components are performant, accessible, and reusable
Let's connect if you have:
- Strong frontend engineering skills — React/Next.js and TypeScript are your day-to-day, and you're comfortable working at pace
- Proficiency with SCSS modules and a solid understanding of CSS fundamentals
- Experience working with or contributing to component libraries and design systems
- A genuine eye for detail — you notice when spacing is off, when something doesn't match the spec, or when an interaction feels slightly wrong
- Comfortable collaborating with designers and asking the right questions when translating designs to code
Nice to haves:
- Curiosity about web3 and DeFi is a nice-to-have — we're happy to bring you up to speed if the space is new to you
- Curiosity about AI and it's use in product design and daily workflows
Haven’t quite met all the criteria? Let’s not miss out on the chance to speak. Whilst you might not meet every single requirement, you might bring other, more exciting skills to the companies!
