## Job description

We’re looking for a design engineer to take ideas from rough sketches to production. You’ll play a key role in shaping entirely new interaction paradigms for understanding and controlling infrastructure. You’ll own the look, feel, and experience of Antimetal across our entire platform.

## About Antimetal

[Antimetal](http://antimetal.com) is building the[future of infrastructure management](https://antimetal.com/resources/blog/the-future-of-infrastructure-is-invisible). We're starting by creating a platform that investigates, resolves, and prevents issues—giving engineers their time back to focus on what they do best: building great products.

What You’ll Do:

- Own the design system across Figma and code (React, Tailwind), keeping it robust and scalable.
- Ship pixel‑perfect interfaces with CSS.
- Take ideas from rough sketches to production-ready by partnering with design and engineering.
- Raise the bar on front‑end architecture and best practices.
- Define new interaction patterns for AI‑driven tools.

What you bring:

- Experience working as a Design Engineer, frontend engineer with strong design skills, or designer with strong engineering skills
- Highly proficient in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, with a strong grasp of modern frontend architecture, state management patterns, and performance optimization.
- Strong visual and interaction instincts—you care deeply about detail, motion, and making interfaces feel precise, responsive, and intentional.
- A fast, flexible prototyper who is equally comfortable exploring ideas in Figma, code, or AI tools, depending on what gets you to signal fastest.
- Hands-on with CSS animation, transitions, and layout techniques—skilled at crafting interfaces that move and respond with clarity and intent.
- A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality front-end development work.
- Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment. You are quick to iterate, test ideas, and push toward outcomes.

Bonus:

- GSAP
- R3F, Three.js, WebGL
- Infrastructure knowledge

Who you are:

- Identify as a builder
- Are excited to work in-person from our new and spacious office in New York
- Love working in a startup environment (experience in a startup or obsession with going zero-to-one)
- Enjoy working with people who are ambitious, caring, and think in systems
- Thrive in a fast-paced iterative environment where experimentation is essential

What we bring:

- Pay & ownership — Competitive salary with generous equity grants.
- Full coverage + retirement — Fully covered health, dental, and vision, plus retirement benefits.
- Unlimited PTO — Take the time you need to recharge.
- Dinner on late nights — Working late? Dinner is on us.
- Fitness stipend — Monthly support for your health and wellness.
- Tools of the trade — Any equipment you need to do your best work.
- Commute perks — Citi Bike + train benefits.

Interview process

- Application Review – Send us your stuff, and a quick note on why you're excited.
- Intro Chat: Share what you're looking for next and learn more about what we're building.
- Founder Interview: Talk with our CTO Shreyas in more detail about the role
- Product engineering exercise: You will have a set amount of time to develop rough prototypes to explore ideas based on a problem we define together.
- Onsite: Come onsite and meet the team through a series of 1:1 interviews.
- Decision – We’ll move fast.

## About Antimetal

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Antimetal builds an autonomous system for production that continuously investigates, fixes, and prevents issues by connecting observability, infrastructure, and code.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A, July 2025)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2023 (first funding round May 2023)
- **Founders**: Matthew Parkhurst (CEO) and Shreyas Iyer (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Production infrastructure / Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) / DevOps automation
- **Target customers**: B2B – engineering teams at companies that run complex production environments
- **Mission**: “Production that runs itself” – automate everything that happens after you deploy, so teams can focus on building

## Products & Services
- **Antimetal Platform** – An autonomous layer that sits on top of existing observability tools (Datadog, Grafana, etc.) and code repositories.
    - **World Model** – Continuously evolving model of the production environment, linking deployments, metrics, alerts, and changes.
    - **Agents** – Specialized agents (Triage, Patrol, Agent Builder) that diagnose issues, propose fixes, open PRs, and run operational workflows autonomously.
    - **Patrol** – Continuously watches for operational risks, regressions, and system drift.
    - **Agent Builder** – Allows teams to create custom operational agents via natural language.
- **Integrations** – 92+ integrations with cloud platforms, CI/CD, observability, and incident management tools.
- **MCP (Model Context Protocol)** – Connect to Antimetal from Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI tools.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding $24.3M (Seed $4.3M led by Framework Ventures, Series A $20M led by Sound Ventures, both in 2023-2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Sound Ventures, Buckley Ventures, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, Aravind Srinivas (Perplexity CEO), Naval Ravikant, and many others
- **Growth Signals**:
    - Headcount grew from ~7 to 18 in the past year (+91.7% YoY)
    - In a test, Antimetal autonomously resolved 76% of errors without human intervention
    - SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA compliant
    - Strong LinkedIn growth: 6,148 followers (+51.4% YoY)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Autonomous operation** – Not just recommendations; Antimetal can investigate, fix, and prevent issues end-to-end, routing changes through existing approval flows.
- **Persistent world model** – Provides continuously updated operational context that improves over time, unlike coding agents limited to a single context window.
- **Specialized, composable agents** – Triage, Patrol, and custom agents can be mixed and matched.
- **Built for security and compliance** – SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA certified from the start.

## Strategic Focus
- Expanding the agent ecosystem (Agent Builder) so teams can create custom operational behaviors.
- Deepening integrations to cover more of the “stack” (observability, infrastructure, CI/CD, code).
- Scaling the autonomous layer to handle larger, more complex production environments.

## Why Work Here
- **Engineering culture**: On-site in NYC (all current open roles are NYC-based). Emphasis on “rockstars who love working like farmers” – hands-on, high autonomy.
- **Compensation**: Open engineering roles $200K–$300K + equity.
- **Team**: 4 open engineering roles (Product Engineer, Platform Engineer, Research Engineer) plus roles in Growth and Design.
- **Growth trajectory**: Rapidly scaling startup with strong investor backing and clear product-market fit.
- **Environment**: Flat, founder-led team; focus on building a product that removes toil from production engineering.
