TL;DR: Axiom's underlying technology is best-in-class and enjoyed by thousands of paying customers. But we have a much higher ambition for the craft and quality of our user experience. We're looking for a brilliant design engineer to close the gap between our vision and our live product. If you care deeply about details, and want to create the interfaces that reimagine entire product categories, this role is for you.
Axiom is a data platform designed to efficiently collect, store, and analyze event and telemetry data at massive scale. At its core, Axiom combines a high-performance data store with an intelligent Console, helping teams reach actionable insights faster. Trusted by over 40,000 organizations—from fast-growing startups like Luma AI and Krea to global enterprises like Asana, Framer, and M1 Finance—Axiom is becoming the essential toolkit for the next generation of software builders.
We're at a pivotal moment. Our technology is proven and our customer base is growing rapidly. Now, we're making a major investment in our user experience. We're looking for a world-class engineer to help us build a product that is not just powerful, but an absolute delight to use.
We are looking for a Senior Design Engineer to join our Console team and take ownership of the Axiom user experience. This is a unique opportunity to define and build our design system from the ground up, fundamentally shaping how thousands of developers interact with their data every day.
You'll be the critical bridge between design and engineering, translating ambitious mockups into a living, breathing application. You'll work hand-in-hand with our Design Lead to establish a new standard for craft and quality, and you'll build the reusable components and patterns that enable the entire engineering team to ship beautiful, consistent UI at high velocity.
Own and evolve our design system. You will lead the technical design, development, and rollout of our in-house UI library, making it easier and faster to build high-quality experiences.
Ship with exceptional craft. You'll work on new features from end to end, with a laser focus on the UI details, polish, and interaction patterns that separate good products from great ones.
Collaborate and elevate. You will partner closely with product and design to iterate on ideas, and mentor other engineers to raise the collective quality bar of the team.
Transform our user experience. You’ll audit our existing application, identify areas for improvement, and lead the charge in creating a more polished, intuitive, and delightful Console.
Are obsessed with UI craft. You measure the quality of your work by the end-user experience and believe that small details make a huge difference. Tweaking drop-shadows and perfecting animations isn't a chore; it's what you love to do.
Have deep experience building design systems. You've worked on modern, collaborative web applications and are an expert in React, component-based architecture, and the trade-offs involved in creating a scalable UI library.
Thrive on bridging design and code. You are excited about iterating on interface design in code vs. building to a rigid spec. You enjoy filling in the gaps and solving the complex interaction challenges that come with building a best-in-class application.
Are driven by impact and ownership. You are excited by the opportunity to join a fast-moving team and have a massive, visible impact on the product and the company's trajectory.
Expect a fully-formed design system to be handed to you. The challenge and opportunity here is to build it.
Feel uncomfortable with ambiguity. You should be happy with the agency and energy that comes from being in a fast-moving product team where you help define the path forward.
Prefer working in a large, siloed team. We’re a startup where engineers own problems end-to-end and work in tight, cross-functional loops.
Flexibility to work from where suits you best in UK/Europe.
A generous budget to build your perfect home office set-up.
A monthly wellness budget and an education stipend.
A weekly "focus day" with no meetings, allowing for deep, uninterrupted work.
