Design Engineer at Method · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We're hiring Method's first Design Engineer. This is someone who spends most of their time in the code, but with an elite eye and talent for product, visual, and motion design. You'll partner with our Head of Design to own the craft layer across all of Method's web properties: website, design system, demos, and product. You'll work as a duo to set the aesthetic direction, make the technical calls, and ship the work.
Method is a developer-first financial connectivity platform, and our visual identity should feel like it. We want our products to feel precise, technically credible, and genuinely interesting to look at.
We're rebuilding our entire visual and interactive layer at once: a token system covering color (built on perceptual color science), typography, and spacing, a design system from the ground up, a new marketing site, a dashboard with generative UI and charting, and the embedded experience our partners put in front of their own users. Because the embedded product runs inside our partners' apps, it needs to adapt to match their brand, automatically.
You'll work closely with engineers and our Head of Design to bring a level of frontend craft to Method that the current team can't fully own, and oversee a ton of green-space to up-level how customers and end-users interact with Method. Open source is part of this role. We want to build things worth sharing and give Method a point of view the design and creative-coding communities respect.
Own the visual and interactive quality of Method's design system including component states, motion, and consistency across surfaces.
Build shader-based experiences for the website using Three.js and WebGL: hero sections, ambient motion, branded interactive moments.
Redesign and elevate the dashboard beyond a reskin; considered transitions, polished data visualization, generative UI components driven by JSON.
Architect a component library that supports dynamic, on-the-fly UI construction (charts, layouts, elements assembled from structured data).
Make judgment calls on when to invest in bespoke work versus leveraging existing tooling, and communicate those tradeoffs clearly.
Reduce reliance on contractors for production design and front-end UI work.
Collaborate with engineers and Head of Design on design direction; eventually help scope and hire adjacent design talent as the team grows.
