Senior Web Design Engineer

Details

Teleport is the AI Infrastructure Identity Company, providing a unified identity layer for infrastructure (humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents) secured cryptographically. As we expand our product portfolio, we need a Web Design Engineer to own the design and frontend development of Teleport's product marketing microsites. Your first project will be http://beams.run, the marketing microsite for our new trusted agent runtime product, and the role will extend to future product sites as Teleport grows.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who works fluidly across design and engineering, with deep empathy for developer audiences. You will take input from multiple stakeholders across Marketing and Product, synthesizing their priorities into developer-facing web experiences that are both technically credible and visually compelling. You will own the design direction, frontend codebase, and ongoing iteration of each site you touch.

The role is remote (United States) and is ideal for someone who has built developer-facing web properties and understands how infrastructure and platform engineers evaluate tools: documentation, CLI examples, and technical substance rather than marketing polish. Experience working on products in the security, identity, or DevOps space is a strong plus.

Requirements

These are strict requirements. Candidates must meet all of the following:

• Design and code as one practice. 10+ years of professional experience where you personally designed and built production frontend for web properties. This role requires doing both design and engineering; your portfolio must demonstrate both.
• Produce high-fidelity design work in Figma (or equivalent) that is ready for stakeholder review without requiring a separate designer to refine.
• Write production-quality code in React (Next.js preferred), TypeScript, and modern CSS (Tailwind or similar). Code should be clean and maintainable by other engineers.
• Portfolio must include developer-facing or technical product websites (developer platforms, API documentation sites, CLI tool sites, open-source project sites, or infrastructure product marketing pages). Consumer or e-commerce-only experience does not qualify.
• Demonstrated experience taking input from both Marketing and Product stakeholders and translating competing priorities into design and development decisions.
• Produce clear design rationale, technical documentation, and project updates in written form.
• Self-starter: identify site needs, propose solutions, and execute without waiting for detailed specifications.
• Active, hands-on use of AI tools to accelerate design and development workflows (examples: Figma MCP with Claude Code, AI coding assistants to scaffold and iterate frontend components, using AI to generate/refine visual assets).

Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of Teleport product marketing microsites: information architecture, visual design, interaction design, frontend development, and deployment.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling pages that resonate with infrastructure and platform engineers.
• Establish and maintain visual language for product brands within the Teleport family, including typography, color, motion, and component patterns.
• Write production-quality frontend code in a modern stack that other engineers can review and contribute to.
• Collaborate with Product teams to ensure technical accuracy of site content, code examples, and CLI references.
• Partner with Marketing to maintain alignment with corporate narrative, campaign goals, and go-to-market initiatives.
• Synthesize input from Marketing and Product stakeholders into cohesive site experiences, balancing brand storytelling with product accuracy.
• Ship iterative improvements as products evolve, using usage data and user feedback to refine site experiences.
• Contribute to design and technical decisions through written documentation and RFCs, consistent with Teleport's culture of transparency.

Nice To Have

• Experience with motion design and interaction animation (Lottie, Framer Motion, GSAP, CSS animations) that enhances usability and storytelling.
• Familiarity with infrastructure, security, or DevOps tooling (container orchestration, SSH, IAM policies, or similar).
• Contributions to open-source projects, either design or code.
• Experience building for products in beta or pre-GA where the site must build credibility and anticipation without overpromising.
• Understanding of developer experience (DX) principles and how engineers discover, evaluate, and adopt technical products.

Why This Role

Teleport is entering a new phase of product expansion. Beams, our trusted runtime for AI agents, is launching its MVP on April 30, 2026, and it won't be the last new product. You will shape the first impression engineers have of each product Teleport brings to market. Teleport has momentum: 20,000+ GitHub stars, a 5,000-person Slack community, and enterprise customers including Tesla, NASDAQ, and Bloomberg.

Benefits

• Extensive health coverage
• Annual expense budget
• Rest & recovery policies that maximize leave and ability to recharge
• Retirement savings plans
• Equity in a US $1.1-bn business
• Professional development opportunities

Interview Process

Teleport's interview process emphasizes a real take-home project rather than multiple live whiteboard or live-coding rounds. Candidates complete a project in their own time to demonstrate practical ability. The company provides flexibility, autonomy, and collaboration during the process.
