About the role
We're looking for a Senior Design Engineer with a genuine eye for detail. Day-to-day, you'll be building React components and UI features — translating complex financial interfaces into clean, robust code that gets things exactly right.
You care about the details. The spacing, the interaction, the edge case that nobody else noticed — that's the kind of thing that matters to you, and it shows in your work.
How you can make an impact:
- Build React components and UI features across our web products, working closely from design specs
- Contribute to and maintain Aave's component library and design system
- Work with designers to understand intent — and proactively find resolutions when something doesn't translate cleanly into our systems
- Write clean, consistent TypeScript and CSS that other engineers enjoy working with
- Collaborate with the wider engineering team to ensure components are performant, accessible, and reusable
Let's connect if you have:
- Strong frontend engineering skills — React/Next.js and TypeScript are your day-to-day, and you're comfortable working at pace
- Proficiency with SCSS modules and a solid understanding of CSS fundamentals
- Experience working with or contributing to component libraries and design systems
- A genuine eye for detail — you notice when spacing is off, when something doesn't match the spec, or when an interaction feels slightly wrong
- Comfortable collaborating with designers and asking the right questions when translating designs to code
Nice to haves:
- Curiosity about web3 and DeFi is a nice-to-have — we're happy to bring you up to speed if the space is new to you
- Curiosity about AI and it's use in product design and daily workflows
