What you'll do
- Own the frontend of the quinn app and the web app, app first, for employers, employees and the support team working inside the customer's account
- Own the frontend of Maestro, the internal batch tool: queues, runs, tables, filters, multi-select, keyboard shortcuts
- Own the component library across quinn Home and quinn Business: one frontend, one experience, every market and every device
- Own the quality of what you ship; nothing leaves your hands half-finished
- Own everything from where design ends to engineering: gestures, keyboard, safe areas, what happens between drawn breakpoints, loading, offline, pending and failed states, and layout effects of longer labels
- Be in the room before design starts, saying what already exists in the library and what a new pattern costs
- Build your own leverage with AI tools: scaffolding, visual regression checks, design-token pipelines
What we're looking for
- Care about interfaces more than anyone else in the room; see two-pixel misalignments and fix them
- Build and maintain UI components and design systems, not one-off screens
- Can build a mobile app that feels like one
- Can build a desktop tool full of tables, filters and keyboard shortcuts
- Understand UX and how people actually behave, not only how a screen looks
- Write code other people can take over: scalable, structured, documented
- Independent and decisive; nobody will spec every detail or review your pixels
- Fluent in English; no other language required
- Live in AI tools and use them operationally, with the judgement to discard subtly wrong AI-generated code
Nice to have
- A portfolio, a live product, or anything you have shipped that you are proud of
