at Alchemy
San Francisco, United StatesRemote
Responsibilities
- - Own and evolve Alchemy’s design system in practice: build and maintain reusable components, patterns, and interaction primitives that scale across products.
- - Drive system scalability: identify gaps, propose improvements, and ship additions that make the product ecosystem more consistent and faster to build.
- - Collaborate tightly with product engineers to reduce rework and make the path from prototype → implementation smoother.
- - Build for an AI-native product future: create interaction patterns and UI foundations that support rapid experimentation and iteration in AI-driven experiences.
Requirements
- You’ll help us scale and evolve Alchemy’s UI system—owning core components, patterns, and implementation quality—while also jumping into product work when needed to unblock teams and raise the craft bar.
- - Translate design intent into high-quality React/TypeScript UI, with attention to spacing, hierarchy, motion, and interaction polish.
- What We're Looking For - Strong front-end fundamentals and comfort building interactive UI (e.g., React + TypeScript; equivalent stacks welcome).
- - Proven ability to prototype quickly without sacrificing craft—and to choose the right fidelity for the question at hand.
Benefits

Additional details
- About The Role As a Product Designer you'll sit at the intersection of product design, product thinking, and front-end engineering—someone who can take early, ambiguous ideas and turn them into interactive, evaluable experiences fast, helping teams make better decisions sooner.
- This role is front-end and systems-heavy, with a strong balance of hands-on building and product design partnership.
- This is a high-leverage role: you’ll reduce handoff friction, increase prototype velocity, and elevate UI quality through hands-on building, close collaboration, and a strong point of view on systems.
- What You'll Do - Build production-quality prototypes (and, when appropriate, ship production front-end code) to validate UX direction quickly—often on tight timelines.
- - Partner closely with product designers to improve the craft and feasibility of design work—bringing an engineer’s pragmatism and a designer’s taste.
- - Improve “how we build UI” muscle across teams: documentation, examples, and workflow improvements that raise the baseline.
- - Contribute to design-system adoption and quality: tokens/components/docs, accessibility standards, and tooling (e.g., Storybook) when needed.
- - Help teams iterate in short cycles (e.g., ~5–10 day “idea → prototype → decision” loops), bringing clarity to what’s possible and what’s worth building.
- - Systems-minded builder: you’ve shipped and maintained component libraries / design systems (tokens, components, documentation, adoption).
- - A designer’s eye: you care about hierarchy, spacing, typography, interaction details, and visual polish.
