# Design Engineer - Company: [Maple]() - Location: New York, NY \(HQ\) - Team: Product - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $120K – $250K - Posted: April 13, 2025 ## Job description # **Hi 👋 I’m Aidan, founder of Maple.** At [Maple](https://maple.inc), we’re building AI agents that work for restaurants. These agents answer calls, take orders, book appointments, and handle real customer interactions over natural voice. **But our bigger mission goes deeper:** we’re building **automated ontologies** that model how businesses *actually* operate — their services, workflows, constraints, and language — so our agents can adapt to them instantly. We meet businesses where they are, not where software wants them to be. We have **many customers, strong revenue growth, years of runway, and backing from world-class investors**. I’ll share more once we meet. # **About the role** As a **Design Engineer**, you’ll be at the center of how we build products. You’ll own entire surfaces of the product: dashboards, config tools, real-time monitoring, internal ops UIs. You’ll prototype new ideas and bring structure to chaos, designing tools that scale across dozens of verticals with minimal friction. We work **in person, 5 days a week** in our NYC office. Collaboration here is fast, noisy (in the best way), and high-trust. We move quickly, break things intentionally, and fix them just as fast. # **What you’ll do** * Build product-facing and internal tools using **TypeScript**, **React**, and **Tailwind** * Design and implement intuitive ways for customers to manage AI agents and define business logic * Develop reusable components and own our emerging design system * Prototype new features, test them with customers, and ship fast * Help define our approach to UI architecture, scaling, and visual systems * Work closely with our founders, engineers, and customers * Contribute to a product culture that values clarity, speed, and leverage # **What we’re looking for** * Strong experience in **React**, **TypeScript**, **CSS**, and modern frontend workflows * Product taste: you know when something feels right and why * Systems thinking: you like building primitives, not one-offs * Experience designing and building tools, dashboards, and/or configuration UIs * Comfortable owning full features from wireframe to code * Bonus: experience with Figma, LLMs, conversational interfaces, or backend TypeScript * 4–8+ years experience preferred, but we’re flexible for the right person # **How we work** * **We optimize for leverage.** That means great internal tooling, fast CI/CD, and code that scales across many customer types * **We believe in deep ownership.** Engineers here talk to users, design features, and ship fast * **We value clarity over process.** You’ll spend most of your day building, not waiting on decisions * **We move in person.** We’re a tight-knit team that moves fast and solves problems together # **What we offer** * Competitive salary + meaningful equity * A real product with real usage and growing revenue * Strong In-person culture, fast feedback loops, and zero bureaucracy * A small team that feels like a founding team * Full health, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, and unlimited PTO * Tools budget, coffee budget, whatever-you-need-to-be-great budget Want to help reimagine how software works for real-world businesses?
