Design Engineer
loopdashAkron (OH)
About the role
This is a technology-driven role. At Loopdash we build and run applications and sites for businesses, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and media outlets. We're AI forward, and agents handle a lot of our day-to-day work including QA, bug fixes, triage and drafting. We're hiring someone to own design & client accounts from start to finish and to direct those AI tools, not just use them.
What you'll do:
Be the main contact for our clients. You'll run calls, set expectations and keep projects moving without escalating every decision.
Turn client feedback into clear tasks, then push them through design, dev, QA and launch.
Direct our AI agents. You'll write and refine their skills and prompts, connect tools through MCP, and check what they produce before it reaches a client.
Manage our staging-to-production flow and decide what's ready to go live.
Triage every day: separate the mission-critical from the critical and the merely important.
Spot retainer and upsell opportunities in the accounts you run.
Must-haves:
Hands-on AI experience beyond chat. You've connected MCP servers, written agent skills or prompts, or built automations with tools like Claude Code, Cursor or similar. Please include an example.3+ years building websites or producing client-facing designs at an agency, studio or in-house team. Comfort with GitHub, at least enough to read a PR, follow a deploy and run QA.Clear, calm communication with clients, including when the news is bad.

- Nonprofit, political or media clients.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
