Remote Staff Design Engineer

About Onebrief Onebrief is collaboration and AI-powered workflow software designed specifically for military staffs. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world. Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief's team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We've raised $320m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Sapphire Ventures, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $2.15B. As a Design Engineer at Onebrief, you are the bridge between Product Design and Frontend Engineering—turning vision into working, high-fidelity experiences. You'll collaborate closely with Designers, Engineers, and Product Managers to accelerate AI‐enhanced workflows, robust component systems, and intuitive interactions that define Onebrief's next-generation UX.Craft and execution are shared across Design and Engineering. Your ownership is understanding how the team operates today and elevating it, strengthening Figma‐to‐code translation, evolving component libraries, and building targeted prototypes that help us improve from alignment to delivery. Your impact is measured by higher quality, tighter alignment, and faster delivery of complex features. You are a hybrid designer–developer who thrives on building what others only imagine. You love systems thinking and believe great design is as much about durability and clarity as it is about visual craft. Core Design Engineering Collaborate closely with designers on core real-time collaboration features such as dashboards, maps, timeline visualizations, and briefing workflows—cornerstones of operational planning in Onebrief. Translate mission and user needs into functional, data-driven interactive prototypes that validate workflows and behaviors before development. Help evolve Onebrief's design system, ensuring component durability, performance, and accessibility across verticals. Partner with engineers to implement design at scale, balancing fidelity, feasibility, and performance. Leverage AI-powered tools (e.g. Build "real-feel" prototypes using APIs and live data where possible to reduce implementation risk. Quality & Systems ThinkingEnsure shipped features meet accessibility, reliability, and performance standards expected by military users. Participate in QA, build reviews, and post-release audits to continuously improve production quality.align on measurable success criteria and surface risks early with de-risking spikes. With Engineering: Align to Onebrief's frontend workflows and conventions to partner seamlessly; specify states, data flows, and edge cases; resolve gaps quickly while ensuring feasibility, accessibility, and performance. With Design: evolve and improve the design system end-to-end; strengthen Figma-to-code translation of components (structure, states, tokens); 10+ years of experience moving ideas through design and into prototypes, ideally with real user impact and usage data.~ Comfortable owning a problem from sketch to spec to shipped UI.~ Experienced with data-dense, highly interactive UIs and the constraints of low connectivity, strict permissions, and audit requirements.~ Experience working with APIs and reasoning about data flows.~ S. security clearance (U.BonusFamiliarity with motion design, accessibility, or system hardening for reliability.
