UI Engineer

📍 Location: NY or SF

We’re looking for a new engineer on our Design team at ReadMe! If you get excited by building prototypes, shipping features, and designing fun stuff—like dx.readme.com (it’s a work in progress!) or our Owlbot AI page—you’ll be a perfect fit.

We're a small team of humans (and one owl) working together to do big things, and we’re growing fast! That’s where you come in. Since we’re a startup, you’ll make a big impact on ReadMe both in the daily responsibilities of your role and beyond.

🦉 What ReadMe Does

ReadMe helps companies build beautiful, personalized, and interactive developer hubs. If you’ve ever visited the developer docs for Airbnb, Notion, or Cohere, you’ve used ReadMe! We love what we do because it’s so much more than just docs. We’re providing tools for teams to create and manage beautiful documentation with ease. Our engineers & designers are especially excited to see the impact their work can have, because they care deeply about developer experience.

You can read more about what it’s like to work at ReadMe on our careers page, or our Key Values page. We've written on our blog in the past about how we interview, and feel free to browse our other blog posts as well if it strikes your fancy!

As a part of the Design team at ReadMe, you’ll be working closely with:

• Tony, our Head of Design - from San Francisco’s sunny Excelsior neighborhood as well as our Founder & CEO, Greg who works out of our new office in NYC on a variety of initiatives across marketing as well as new AI ideas we’re exploring.
• Our designers, Ryan & Jaclyn. Ryan is a designer who enjoys street photography & mountain biking. Currently between NY and SF. Outside of work, Jaclyn loves exploring nature and traveling.
