Design Engineer

About Us

Rho is the modern banking platform built for the AI era. Startups and growth-stage companies can open accounts in minutes, issue cards, manage expenses, pay bills, and close the books – all in one connected platform backed by real human support.

A ROLE FOR THOSE COMMITTED TO DESIGNING WITH UNCOMMON CARE.

Most of a banking product is invisible when it's done right. The transfer that confirms with a motion so clean you feel it settle. The card that materializes like it was always going to. The empty state you almost want to keep looking at. Nobody files a support ticket about these things. They just trust the product a little more, and they can't tell you why.

We're hiring a Lead or Staff Design Engineer to own exactly that layer: the feel. The motion, the microinteractions, the details most companies never get to because they're too busy shipping features. We are not too busy. We think this is the work.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You live in the browser, in code, in the space between "it functions" and "it feels inevitable." You build the interactions, the transitions, the animations, and the components that make Rho feel like the most considered product our customers use all day. Then you write the libraries that let the rest of the team hit that bar without you in the room.

This is not a product design role. You're not writing PRDs, running discovery, or owning a roadmap. You're the person who takes something that works and makes it sing, and who builds the systems that make singing the default.

If you've ever reimplemented an animation three times because the first two were 40ms too slow and felt cheap, you already understand the job.

- Own the feel of the product. Motion, microinteractions, transitions, gestures, the physics of how things move and respond. Every one of them earns trust or spends it.

- Build the libraries no one else has built. Animation primitives, interaction patterns, and components that are genuinely new, not a re-skin of what'...
