Design Engineering Leader

TL;DR – We’re seeking exceptional Design Engineering Leaders to help build the future of AI. You’ll work closely with both design and engineering to build world-class interfaces that empower the next generation of creators and builders.

Why Lovable?

Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software with any language. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 teams, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products – fast. We are at the forefront of a foundational shift in software creation, which means you have an unprecedented opportunity to change the way the digital world works. Lovable-built applications and websites are visited hundreds of millions of times a month, and our enterprise footprint is compounding fast. And we’re just getting started.

We’re a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Stockholm. We value extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We seek out people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

What we’re looking for

Must-haves

• Multiple years leading design engineering, frontend, or UI engineering teams
• Track record of attracting and retaining top talent who care deeply about craft
• Has scaled through hypergrowth while maintaining production quality
• Deep knowledge across design and frontend engineering — fluent in both worlds
• Builder mindset — the job is only done in production
• Founder mindset — end-to-end ownership and drive
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and incomplete information
• Philosophically believes in design as an enabler, not a gatekeeper
• Demonstrated ability of balancing craft and speed
• Still hands-on, honing craft and workflows to lead others
• Fast-paced, startup experience
• An engineering leader

Strong preferences

• Experience at a company with significantly greater scale than ours
• Has built on frontier capabilities
• Has operated in fast-moving, ambiguous environments (not just big-company experience)
• Strong opinions on design systems, component architecture, and developer experience

What you’ll do

Org building

• Build and lead the design engineering at Lovable – spanning product, core design systems, our websites, and generative brand assets
• Help scale design engineering from where we are today to whatever the future demands
• Design org structure; hire ICs and leads

Partnership

• Partner with design, engineering, and product leads to ship faster with higher fidelity
• Bridge the gap between design intent and production reality

Craftsmanship

• Coach ICs on what truly world-class implementation looks like
• Own the bar for UI quality, interaction polish, and frontend performance
• Continuously raise the standard of what ships
• Shape new AI interactions that haven’t been shaped before— how do you simultaneously lower the barrier for billions to create software while raising the ceiling of what’s possible?

Iteration

• Live new workflows, tooling, and AI capabilities; challenge the status quo
• Manage people through their work, not around it
• Develop individual and team rituals that level up everyone around them
