ABOUT POOLSIDE In this decade, the world will create Artificial General Intelligence. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will define the winners. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research, engineering, infrastructure and deployment at scale. They will continue to scale their training to larger to balance this intensity, we’ve assembled a team of low ego and kind-hearted individuals who have built the special culture Poolside has. By building collaboratively and with intention, we create a compounding effect that moves the entire company forward towards our mission: reaching AGI through intelligence systems built for software development. ABOUT THE ROLE This is a role for someone who holds the bar across everything Poolside puts into the world. You'll work across the full surface area of our experience. Product, marketing, systems, and brand; bringing the same level of craft and attention to a complex product flow as you do to a polished marketing page. You'll write reusable, production-quality code alongside your design work, contributing components and systems that the engineering team actually builds on. You'll partner closely with other Designers and Design Engineers on brand and external surfaces, and with Product Engineering on implementation. The scope here is intentionally wide. We're a small team with cross-pollinating skillsets, and this person raises the quality of everything around them. Not by owning a narrow lane, but by holding a high visual bar across the whole company and knowing how decisions in one surface ripple into another. YOUR MISSION To set the experiential standard for Poolside, ensuring everything we ship, across every surface, reflects the quality of the intelligence behind it. RESPONSIBILITIES Own the quality and consistency of Poolside's design across product, marketing, brand, and systems surfaces. Build and evolve our design system; not just a component library, but a design pipeline that scales with the company. Write reusable, production-quality frontend code: components and systems others can build on, not one-off pages. Partner with Design Engineers on external-facing surfaces, ensuring brand and marketing reflect the same bar as the product. Collaborate with Product Engineering to bring design system work into production and keep it alive as the product evolves. Hold the visual bar across the team. Your taste and judgment should be raising the standard for everything around you. SKILLS high polish, typographic sensitivity, and attention to detail across product and brand contexts. You produce work that looks as good as it functions. Experience designing across the full experience of a company: product, marketing, design systems, and brand. Not a specialist in one. Proficiency producing reusable, clean frontend code. Components and systems, not just one-off pages. A genuine history of building with code: scripts, tools, personal projects shipped from scratch. You can speak concretely to what you built and why. Genuine familiarity with developer workflows; version control, local environments, the command line, deployment pipelines. Not as a curiosity, but as your natural habitat. Deep experience designing for developer tools specifically, not general consumer or enterprise products. Experience building design systems, not just maintaining them, but defining the pipeline and getting others to adopt it. Systems thinker: you see how decisions in one surface affect another and design accordingly. PROCESS Intro call with one of our Designers Design interview with a Design Engineer (Brand). Come with 1–2 projects you forged, not just executed Technical interview with a Product Engineer. Expect questions on how you build and think about developer workflows Team fit call with the People team Final interview BENEFITS Fully remote work
