Company:** Chess.com Employment type: FULL_TIME
We are looking for a Design Engineer to own the interfaces of the platforms Chess.com runs on: Engage-o-tron, our growth platform; GNS, our AI-native knowledge and agent platform; and the internal admin tools our teams live in every day. These are internal products, and that's the appeal. Your users are experts, they use these tools all day, and what they build in them reaches 250M+ players. The work is dense, technical, and high-leverage. You'll decide how something should look, feel, and work, then ship it yourself. No handoff, no spec thrown over a wall.
Two kinds of people fit this role. The full-stack designer who's dreamed something up, designed it, built it, and launched it end to end. Or the strong front-end engineer with real design taste, someone who codes for a living but has defensible opinions about type, layout, motion, and information density. We care about the combination, not which side you started on.
You have an eye, you can't unsee bad spacing or a muddled information hierarchy, and you take pride in writing high-quality, high-performance code. You're AI-first by conviction, not by mandate: you already build with AI-native editors and you see them as an amplifier of solid skills, not a threat to them. You're energized rather than bored by enterprise, technical, developer-facing product, because making the complicated feel simple is the whole job. And you want the range and ownership that only exist when one person owns the whole front-end.
This is a full-time opportunity. We are 100% remote (work from anywhere!). This role is open to candidates who can work with at least 3 hours' overlap with Eastern Time Zone.
