Design Engineer
Role in brief
Trust Wallet is looking for a Design Engineer to create UI components using React Native. This role involves collaboration with designers and maintaining a design system. Candidates with a strong design sense and frontend experience in mobile applications should apply.
About the role
As a Design Engineer at Trust Wallet, you will focus on building high-quality UI components in React Native. Your work will involve translating design concepts into functional, performant code, ensuring a seamless user experience across platforms.
Collaboration is key in this role, as you will partner with product designers to prototype and iterate on UI ideas. You will also maintain the design system, ensuring consistency and reusability throughout the app while improving UI performance and addressing technical design challenges.
Skills that matter here
- React Native: You will use React Native to build and optimize UI components for mobile applications.
- Figma: Figma will be used for prototyping and iterating on UI designs before engineering implementation.
Who this role suits
- You have a solid background in frontend/UI engineering with a strong focus on React Native.
- You possess a keen eye for design, paying attention to typography, spacing, and motion.
- You communicate effectively between design and engineering teams, facilitating collaboration.
- A genuine interest in Web3 and crypto products enhances your fit for this role.
From the employer
Responsibilities
- Build production-quality UI components and interactions directly in React Native, translating designs into pixel-accurate, performant code
- Partner with product designers to prototype ideas quickly, test interactions, and iterate before full engineering handoff
- Own and maintain the design system/component library, ensuring consistency and reusability across the app
- Bridge design and engineering — flag feasibility issues early, propose technical solutions to design problems, and vice versa
- Improve UI performance, animations, and micro-interactions across web, mobile, and browser extension
- Collaborate with engineering on architecture decisions that affect UI flexibility, theming, and component scalability
- Help define and evolve design-to-dev workflows/tooling (Figma → code handoff, design tokens, etc.)
Requirements
- 3-5+ years of experience in frontend/UI engineering, with strong hands-on React Native experience
- Strong eye for design craft — typography, spacing, motion, and interaction detail
- Comfortable working directly in Figma (or similar) to prototype and iterate on UI
- Experience building and maintaining component/design systems
- Track record of shipping polished, consumer-facing mobile products
- Strong communication skills — able to work fluidly across design and engineering teams and translate between the two
- Genuine interest in Web3/crypto products a plus
Conditions
- Experience with design tokens, theming systems, or cross-platform component libraries is a plus
- Background as either a designer who learned to code or an engineer with strong design sensibility is a plus
- Familiarity with animation libraries (Reanimated, Lottie, etc.) in React Native is a plus
- Prior experience in fintech, crypto, or high-growth consumer apps is a plus
