About the role
One of RubyLabs’ portfolio companies is looking for a Mid UI/UX Engineer to join our team and take full ownership of designing and implementing user interfaces using pre-built component libraries.
This role is perfect for a Frontend Engineer who enjoys working within structured design systems and ensuring high-quality, data-driven user experiences. You will be responsible for both defining the UI structure (using existing components) and implementing it in code without relying on a separate designer.
If you thrive in a results-driven environment, value autonomy, and enjoy building intuitive, scalable UI without subjective design guesswork, this is the role for you.

Design web interfaces using pre-built components (NextUI, HeroUI, Tailwind).
Ensure consistency, usability, and accessibility across designs.
Create wireframes and layouts based on structured design principles.
Frontend Development
Implement designs using NextUI, HeroUI, and Tailwind CSS on top of Next.js and React.
Develop and maintain scalable, maintainable, and performant UI and reusable components.
Ensure cross-browser compatibility and responsiveness.
Collaboration & Process
Work with product managers to translate data-driven requirements into UI solutions.
Ensure seamless handoff between design and development by owning both parts of the process.
Maintain high coding standards and efficient workflows.
Qualifications
2+ years of frontend development experience (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind).
Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and the ability to work within structured design systems.
Experience with UI component libraries (NextUI, HeroUI, or similar).
Ability to design and structure UI without relying on a dedicated designer.
Proficiency in HTML & CSS, writing clean, maintainable code.
Familiarity with design tools (Figma, Visily) to work with assets.
Experience with version control systems (Git).
Portfolio showcasing at least 5 projects where you handled both UI design and frontend implementation.
Nice to have
Experience working with design systems and component-based architecture.
Background in D2C product development or performance marketing.
Experience optimizing accessibility and usability.
