Staff Design Engineer, Design Systems

In this Staff Design Engineer role, you will shape the core interaction layer of Miro’s canvas, multiplayer, and AI experiences. You’ll embed with cross-functional teams to raise overall design and craft quality, shipping in code-first ways that land with real users.
