Design Engineer

Job description

DESIGN ENGINEER BUILD THE FUTURE OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT WITH US The infrastructure managing $300 trillion in assets was built in the 90s. Now, all of it is up for grabs. The winner of the AI era of investment management will be a $100B+ company. We intend to be that company. To get there, we're assembling the most talent-dense startup in New York. We hire people who are 1) exceptional, 2) allergic to anything that's not exceptional, and 3) recruiters of other exceptional people. We also have no tolerance for brilliant jerks. We run lean by design. We work with a select group of the largest financial institutions in the world, go incredibly deep with each, and sit in the flow of trillions of dollars. We hire fewer people, ask each to own the outcome, and pay on impact - not tenure or experience. Moment is not for everyone. The standards are unreasonably high. The pace is intense. And there is no playbook. In return: the best work of your career, building a generational company. ABOUT MOMENT Moment is the AI operating system for investment management, built for the world's largest wealth firms and fintechs. Moment works with firms managing more than $10 trillion in client assets and is backed by Index, a16z, and Lightspeed. Moment was founded by former quants from Citadel and Jane Street and is based in NYC. THE ROLE As we enter a new era, we're hiring a Design Engineer to help define what Moment's product feels like in the hands of the people who use it. We're building software for the leading financial institutions of the world, and the experience of using it matters as much as what it does under the hood. The line between design and engineering is where the best product work happens - where an idea gets sketched, prototyped, and shipped by the same person, and where the details that make software feel inevitable get sweated all the way through to production. As a Design Engineer at Moment, you will live at that intersection. You'll prototype quickly, ship polished UI in TypeScript, and obsess over the small interactions, micro-animations, and visual details that separate good product from great product. Moment will be a generational company, and the work you ship will set the standard for what financial software can feel like. You'll work closely with design, product, and engineering to deliver experiences that are as ambitious and distinctive as the company itself. This is a highly autonomous, highly collaborative role. You are equally comfortable in Figma and in code, and you have a high bar for both. You can navigate different levels of abstraction; from a concept sketch to a production component. You can clearly articulate, lead, and execute work that spans design, prototyping, and frontend engineering. YOU’RE A GOOD FIT IF YOU HAVE - 3+ years of experience as a frontend or design engineer with Typescript expertise. - Willing and able to just go figure stuff out :) EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE - Experience working as a product designer. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Base salary: $175K to $275K - Equity: aggressive initial grant + annual performance-based bonuses - Our beautiful West Village Office with a terrace / 5x a week in office - Free lunch and dinner. - $150 monthly gym stipend. - Health, dental, and vision coverage. 100% company reimbursement.
