Design/Product Engineer

Own the connective tissue between design and engineering at Orus: research to production code, using Cursor or Claude Code to move fast.

What you'll own

Own the full product lifecycle: research, conceptualisation, prototyping, implementation, and iteration
Talk to customers directly, turning real signal into design decisions that hold up in enterprise software
Design reusable, accessible components and implement them in production front-end code
Establish and uphold design patterns across the platform as it grows
Bridge design and engineering: translate high-fidelity designs into faithful, performant UI, and feed implementation constraints back into design
Build prototypes that show how new patterns should look and behave in code, not just in mockups
Champion accessibility, performance, and consistency as first-class properties of the system
Form a point of view on how AI shifts user behaviour, since this is an AI-native product with genuinely new design challenges

Strong experience designing complex digital products end-to-end, ideally in enterprise software or B2B SaaS
Obsessed with simplicity, and with digging into why things are the way they are. You think from first principles, not from "this has always worked like this"
Production experience with React and TypeScript, modern CSS, and component-driven architecture
Deep UX research skills: getting real signal from customers and turning it into design decisions
Experience building and maintaining a component library or design system that a real team shipped on top of
Fluency in Figma, and an understanding of how design tools and code should stay in sync
Pragmatic and biased toward shipping: fast prototyping, good with feedback, impact over perfection
Comfortable building with AI natively, using tools like Cursor or Claude Code daily
Low ego and collaborative: a partner to product and engineering, not a gatekeeper

Experience with design-system tooling
Experience designing or building for AI-native, agentic, or data-intensive products
Familiarity with ERP, CRM, or other enterprise systems of record
Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
