Product Design Engineer - Audio

Summary

Stability AI is seeking a Product Design Engineer to work at the intersection of design and code on its audio product suite. The role involves prototyping, building, and polishing user experiences, developing production-quality interfaces and design systems, and collaborating with product, engineering, and audio research teams.

Responsibilities

• Build production-quality UI components and interactions that delight musicians and producers
• Rapidly prototype new concepts to test ideas before committing to a full build
• Own the quality of UI across our suite of audio products — pixel-perfect execution and interactions that feel great in an artist's hands
• Work with product, engineering, and audio research to figure out what's possible and shape where the product goes
• Build design systems and component libraries that help the whole team ship faster across desktop, web, plugin, and mobile

Skills

• You're equally comfortable in Figma and your code editor
• You have strong front-end engineering skills: React, TypeScript, Next.js, CSS, animations
• You have a sharp eye for detail and care deeply about craft
• You've shipped polished products and know what it takes to get from 90% to 100%
• You move fast — prototyping ideas in hours, not days
• You think in systems, not one-off screens
• You're genuinely excited about AI and want to help define how the future of creative tools works
• Experience building creative tools, audio or music software, or other complex products
• A design background or formal design training
• Experience with plugins, native UI frameworks (SwiftUI, JUCE, Tauri), or shipping cross-platform apps
• Familiarity with DAWs, MIDI, Web Audio, or music production
