Design Engineer at Maple Finance

<h1><strong>Hi 👋 I’m Aidan, founder of Maple.</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">At <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://maple.inc">Maple</a>, we’re building AI agents that work for restaurants. These agents answer calls, take orders, book appointments, and handle real customer interactions over natural voice.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>But our bigger mission goes deeper:</strong> we’re building <strong>automated ontologies</strong> that model how businesses <em>actually</em> operate — their services, workflows, constraints, and language — so our agents can adapt to them instantly. We meet businesses where they are, not where software wants them to be.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We have <strong>many customers, strong revenue growth, years of runway, and backing from world-class investors</strong>. I’ll share more once we meet.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>About the role</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">As a <strong>Design Engineer</strong>, you’ll be at the center of how we build products. You’ll own entire surfaces of the product: dashboards, config tools, real-time monitoring, internal ops UIs. You’ll prototype new ideas and bring structure to chaos, designing tools that scale across dozens of verticals with minimal friction.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We work <strong>in person, 5 days a week</strong> in our NYC office. Collaboration here is fast, noisy (in the best way), and high-trust. We move quickly, break things intentionally, and fix them just as fast.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>What you’ll do</strong></h1><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build product-facing and internal tools using <strong>TypeScript</strong>, <strong>React</strong>, and <strong>Tailwind</strong></p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Design and implement intuitive ways for customers to manage AI agents and define business logic</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Develop reusable components and own our emerging design system</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Prototype new features, test them with customers, and ship fast</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Help define our approach to UI architecture, scaling, and visual systems</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Work closely with our founders, engineers, and customers</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Contribute to a product culture that values clarity, speed, and leverage</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>What we’re looking for</strong></h1><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Strong experience in <strong>React</strong>, <strong>TypeScript</strong>, <strong>CSS</strong>, and modern frontend workflows</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Product taste: you know when something feels right and why</p></li><li><p style="min
