Design Engineering
Video is the most powerful way humans tell stories. It always has been. But creating it today is still painfully hard. Fragmented tools, steep learning curves, and workflows that get in the way of the actual creative work. We're building Cardboard to change that.
In a product like ours, how things move, respond, and feel is not a finishing touch. It's the product. We're hiring a Founding Design Engineer who lives at that intersection: someone who can author the feel of Cardboard, not just implement it.
You'll be working alongside a team of engineers who all care deeply about craft, including the founders. The surface is where you'll shine. You know enough full stack to hook things up when you need to, but interactions, animations, and the details that make a product feel alive are what you're here for.
