Why this job is exciting

How humans build, create, and work together is changing. Everything is changing. And today’s frontier models are just the beginning.

Amp is one of the highest quality coding agents available. You will be designing for the people who choose Amp, meeting their high expectations in every interaction.

We’re looking for a Senior+ Design Engineer who loves crafting beautiful weird powerful tools… who is just as comfortable customizing their zsh config as they are working in Figma… and is excited to build the future.

You’ll be joining our small team as the second Design Engineer, crafting everything from first touch to the 400th hour… shipping multiple times a day… and working directly with users.

📅 Within one month, you will…

Familiarize yourself with all corners of Amp, absorbing the norms.
Familiarize yourself with how we build Amp.
Develop a deep understanding of our user workflows, technical constraints, and design principles.
Pair with engineers and designers to ship features that are high quality and feel like they belong and fit in.

📅 Within three months, you will…

Build & design the best agentic coding tool and platform.
Ship product improvements across multiple areas, iterated on user feedback, and improved the marketing site and docs.
Code and prototype often, talk to users and customers often, and be on a team that loves doing the same.

About you

You are bold, forward-thinking, and different in your designs; you’re building the most important technology of the century, not just a SaaS app. You have a proven track record as a primary designer or design engineer on a significant product, feature, or platform.

Exceptional design sensibility.
Ability to translate high-level concepts into detailed, production-ready interfaces.
Excellent collaboration skills with designers and engineers.
