About the team:

As part of our Product and Design Team, you will work directly with designers and product managers who are focused on our product experience. We have a collaborative approach to problem-solving with our partners in the organization, ensuring that user experience is at the core of our product development.

About the role:

As a Senior UX Engineer, you'll partner directly with a Principal Designer to form a highly agile, high-output team capable of prototyping directly in our front end web platform, bypassing traditional handoff inefficiencies focused on modernizing the Dice.com UI. If you're a developer with a strong eye for design — someone who cares about the details, systems thinking, and building real things — this is your lane.

Why we’re hiring for this role:

We are seeking a curious, creative, and technically skilled Senior UX Engineer to help shape the future of design at Dice. This role is central to a new workflow strategy that empowers designers and developers to work side-by-side in code, building production-ready UI experiences with AI-assisted tooling, rapid iteration, and deep integration with our platform.

In the short term you will:

• Build live, high-fidelity UI prototypes in Next.js using our in-house design system (Snake Eyes UI)
• Partner with a designer to co-own early-stage product prototyping and UI problem-solving
• Translate product ideas into working UI that’s easy for feature teams to wire up with APIs and finalize
• Rapidly experiment with emerging AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and help evaluate their impact on design and dev workflows

In the long term you will:

• Contribute to and help evolve Snake Eyes UI (our design system) as a first-class product
• Maintain accessibility, performance, and compliance standards across UI work
• Share work often, gather feedback early, and iterate quickly in the browser
• Contribute to internal experiments, like an in-house v0.dev-style UI generator powered by our codebase and design system
• Support a culture of systems thinking, craft, and curiosity across design and engineering

What you bring to the team:

Required:

• Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system
• Fluency in modern front-end development: Next.js, React, Tailwind, and Headless UI systems (e.g., React Aria)
• Prior experience with platform-scale web apps and modular architecture
• Experience with accessibility-first development
• Strong understanding of design systems, atomic component structures, and responsive design
• Comfort prototyping in code and working without pixel-perfect Figma mockups
• Entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability and ownership, willing to learn and fail fast
• Experience working in cross-functional product teams, ideally with tight design and dev pairing
• Curiosity about AI tooling for development or design workflows (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.)
• Attention to detail and pride in polished, accessible, and scalable interfaces
• Familiarity with Git and modern version control workflows
• Ability to think strategically while delivering tactically
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Preferred:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, web development or equivalent experience
• Experience participating in the complete product development lifecycle
