Staff Design Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Denmark.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the fundamental interaction layer of the canvas, including responsiveness, rendering, input management, and spatial transitions—focusing on the experiences users perceive before they articulate them.

• Create and develop multiplayer experiences that make collaborating in Miro distinctly different from solo work: aspects such as presence, cursors, conflict resolution, and co-creation.

• Establish the definition of having an AI partner in a visual, multiplayer environment—determining how AI outputs integrate into the canvas, ensuring suggestions are unobtrusive, and making generative results a seamless part of team collaboration.

• Design the enchanting moments that make Miro unforgettable, including animations, micro-interactions, and transitions that allow the tool to fade away, letting the thinking process take precedence.

• Develop patterns, prototypes, and shared tools that enhance the efficiency and confidence of the broader design and engineering organization.

• Document processes, teach through action, and set a quality benchmark that fosters coherence across the canvas, not limited to your specific domain.

• Work in close collaboration with product designers, engineers, PMs, and researchers across Miro's canvas and AI portfolios.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proficiency in React, TypeScript, and CSS, with strong architectural insights gained from practical experience rather than theoretical knowledge.

• Practical experience with canvas and graphics technologies, including WebGL, Canvas API, SVG, and intricate layout systems.

• Expertise in motion design and timing, where easing curves, transition timing, hover states, and frame budgets are as carefully considered as layout choices.

• Experience in designing real-time multiplayer systems, with a focus on presence, conflict management, and co-authorship as user experience challenges, rather than solely engineering tasks.

• Background in crafting AI experiences, understanding the distinction between merely placing a text input on a page and designing for probabilistic, latent AI outputs.

• An instinct for prototyping in code first, preferring to utilize the browser over Figma when experimenting with new interactions, and working quickly enough that prototyping feels like an asset rather than a burden.

• A systems-thinking approach across a large product landscape, connecting patterns, designing with awareness of broader implications, and contributing to overall coherence.

• Familiarity with streaming APIs, structured outputs, and user experience patterns that instill reliability and trust in probabilistic systems.

• The capability to enhance the quality of work around you through effective written communication, mentorship, and establishing standards for others to build upon.
