Founding Design Engineer

We’re looking for a Founding Design Engineer who can code first and is also properly comfortable in Figma. Someone who wants to be building the actual product, not handing off specs and waiting to see what comes back.

In this role you will:

Build real features in React Native, end to end, from idea to shipped

Shape how the product looks and feels, not just how it works

Get properly hands on with AI-native tooling as part of how you build, not as a side project

Sit close to Asha, Yoshi and Serena and help shape decisions that actually matter this early

Your background looks something like:

You can code, properly, and you’d call that your main skill

You’re also genuinely comfortable in Figma and care about how things look and feel, not just how they function

You’ve built something before that you’re proud of, even if it was small or scrappy

You’re curious about AI-native tools and already building with them, not just reading about them

You’ve worked in a startup before, or you really want to

As a person you:

Want to build, not just talk about building

Are kind. We mean that properly, not as a nice-to-have

Like moving fast and figuring things out as you go

Want to be in a room with the founders, not three layers removed from them

Why this role is special:

You’ll be one of the first proper hires at a company that’s already growing without spending a penny on ads. You won’t be executing someone else’s roadmap. You’ll help write it.

About the opportunity:

Snitch started because the three of us were addicted to our phones and built our way out of it. We just raised £1.25m to take that further. We’re based in Soho, and we’re a fun, young team who move fast, love what we do, and genuinely have the best time doing it. We do group activities most weeks: climbing, hikes, offline events, games nights, pub nights, the lot.

Something you've built recently, even if it's small or unfinished

Links to anything relevant: GitHub, portfolio, live projects, whatever shows your work best
