About the Role
We're looking for a Design Engineer to join our Design Team and take full ownership of the look, feel, and experience of our marketing and documentation sites. In this role, design and code are fully intertwined — you won't be handing off to engineers, you'll be shipping it yourself. You'll move from identifying what needs improving to building and deploying it, with minimal direction and maximum ownership.
This role is ideal for someone who builds at work and in your personal time, is deeply curious about developer tools, and thrives in async environments where you're trusted to run with a problem and figure out the best solution.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Own the end-to-end design and experience of supabase.com sites, like our marketing website, documentation site, and mini sites like Select conf, Launch Week — you will also be identifying problems with these sites, shipping fixes and continually improving them.
Collaborate with Product Marketing, Engineering, Product and the Docs team to ensure every page is clear and useful.
Make sure our sites have beautiful typography, layout, diagrams, code blocks etc.
Develop and ship live pages using modern front-end frameworks (React, Next.js, Vite). You’ll have an active voice in choosing libraries and frameworks.
Evolve our design system and reusable components to keep sites consistent and scalable.
Refine illustrations, diagrams, and messaging to improve technical clarity.
Proactively identify areas of the site that need improvement and drive them forward without waiting to be asked.
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Are genuinely both a designer and a front-end developer — you're as comfortable in code as you are in Figma, and you don't think of them as separate activities
Actively use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex etc) to experiment, prototype or ship websites/apps/features/products.
Have designed and built for developers or technical audiences — dev tools, crypto, tech startups, AI or similar; you understand who we're talking to
Are actively building things outside of work — side projects, personal experiments; you're curious and you ship.
Write production-quality front-end code using React, Next.js, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and component libraries like shadcn/Radix/Base UI
Take a broad brief and run with it — you identify what's worth working on, communicate your thinking, and get it done
Are comfortable working async and independently in a globally distributed team
Move fast without sacrificing craft — you balance quality with speed and know when good enough is good enough
