Founding Engineer - Design

Job description

About

Governments and policymakers make decisions that shape millions of lives, but they still operate with slow research cycles, fragmented evidence, and expensive consultant reports that often arrive only after programs have launched. We believe AI can help public institutions make better decisions: faster, more evidence-based, more responsive, and more accountable to the people they serve.

Our platform helps public institutions synthesize evidence, simulate how policy choices may affect people, budgets, and outcomes before rollout, monitor real-world results, and continuously improve decisions over time.

We closed a $5.7M seed round earlier this year, led by Relentless, with participation from a16z speedrun, Liquid 2, Operator Collective, Entourage, Station F, Plug and Play and others. We are now scaling across the US and Europe and hiring founding team members to help build a new category at the intersection of AI, simulation, public policy, and institutional decision-making.

Job Description

The role

This is a hybrid role: part designer, part front-end engineer. We’re open to profiles that lean heavier in either direction, as long as you’re flexible and happy to both design and ship FE features to production. You'll work directly with the founders and have a real say in what we build and how it looks and feels.

Day to day, you'll:

· 
Produce designs in Figma, Ship Frontend code, build and maintain our design system, so the rest of the team can ship quickly without things drifting.

· 
Work directly with policy advisors, civil servants, or legal teams to translate their messy workflows into interfaces that feel obvious.

· 
Prototype rapidly to test ideas with real users.

· 
Set the visual and interaction language for the product, be involved with marketing and other design aspects of our company.

Preferred Experience

You're a fit if you

· 
2–3 years building production interfaces at a startup, agency, or product team where you owned both design and front-end.

· 
Experience with React, shipping frontend code

· 
Comfort working in ambiguity, with sparse briefs and shifting priorities.

· 
Genuine interest in public sector problems.

Nice to have

· 
Exposure to government, policy, or public-sector consulting

· 
Built design systems from zero. Shipped your own side projects, open-source work, or written about your craft.

Recruitment Process

Our process is lightweight and designed to help both sides assess fit quickly. It typically includes an initial conversation with a founder, a deeper role-specific interview, and a short practical exercise or case discussion. Finalists meet all founders before we make an offer.
