Our story so far:

Founded in 2024 as a better way to conduct qualitative interviews, Conveo quickly gained traction after going through the Summer 24 Y Combinator batch where we saw significant interest from Consumer Goods companies. After raising our $5.3m seed round, we executed closely with our customers to build the best qualitative market research platform centered around AI-moderated interviews. Since then we’ve expanded our scope, grown our team, and Today, we're seeing incredibly strong adoption and usage across Insights, marketing, innovation, and strategy teams in industries like: Consumer goods, Retail, Pharma, technology, and consumer services.

Background

• We help companies understand their customers, giving us virtually unlimited market potential. The market research industry is valued at approximately $100B, with qualitative solutions representing a $30B opportunity. With AI enablement, this market is expanding rapidly. This is an infinite horizon problem.
• Experienced team. Our head of research was the founder of a market research company with 600+ employees, our CEO previously co-founded a $75m ARR startup as CTO. Our commercial and operational teams bring their operational excellence from McKinsey, while our sales leadership includes former VPs from Ipsos.
• We believe in forging deep collaborations with our customers. In just 15 months, we've landed deals with some of the world's largest companies that are quickly expanding their work with us, including Unilever, P&G, AB InBev, Nestlé, Google and many others. We are seeing many brands switch to us from our competitors. We’re a growing team passionate about solving real-world challenges in customer research, enabling companies to make user-informed decisions. We're looking for driven senior engineers who love working on complex systems, care about solving problems for users, and are excited to shape the future of AI-driven customer insights.

What we are building at Conveo

Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high quality consumer / B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Orange use our AI video interviewer to generate across insights, marketing, and product teams.

#1 What problem are we solving and why is this an important problem to solve

The current/traditional research methods companies rely on are slow, expensive, and superficial. Running great research also requires expertise which is a blocker to many companies. That directly affects how well companies understand their customers and how well they can serve them.

#2 The team you will join

You will join an extremely talented team of incredibly passionate, high-energy people. We go the extra mile while having the best time of our lives. Our team has the combination of decades of market research knowledge, incredible engineering ability, and experience building companies.

#3 how we operate:

• We truly care about our clients and the problem we solve. That means we humbly go the extra mile every time.
• Our engineering team talks directly with our customers. No layers in between.
• We work hard and we have fun.
• To keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team

The Role

As our UX/Design Engineer, you’ll be the craft owner behind the product surfaces, systems, and interactions that bring Conveo to life.

This is a hybrid Design × Front-End Engineering role:

you design with exceptional taste, and you build enough to make ideas real, components, prototypes, states, flows, and production-ready logic in a modern FE stack.

Your mission:

craft intuitive, high-performance interfaces that make advanced AI research feel simple, elegant, and magical.

Your Mission

1. Design world-class product interfaces

• Own high-fidelity UI, interaction design, and complex workflow design.
• Prototype quickly in Figma and code to validate flows, edge cases, and system behaviors.
• Shape the end-to-end look and feel of core product experiences.

2. Build with engineers, not just hand off

• Implement or refine UI components directly in the codebase (React/TS or similar).
• Collaborate with engineers on state management, interactions, and logic.
• Ensure that what ships matches the intended quality, polish, and usability.

3. Own the design system + component library

• Evolve our product-wide design system: tokens, components, documentation.
• Create reusable patterns that accelerate engineering velocity and consistency.
• Keep the system aligned with real-world engineering constraints.

4. Make complex AI workflows feel simple

• Design clean, scalable visualizations for large datasets and AI outputs.
• Structure information architecture, transitions, and state models that reduce cognitive load.
• Translate complexity into clarity, without hiding power.

5. Operate with autonomy, speed & excellence

• Own multiple product surfaces at once, shipping fast without compromising craft.
• Work as an embedded partner with engineering, participating in architecture and product discussions.
• Raise the bar of what “beautiful, functional software” means across the company.

What We're Looking For

An experienced hybrid designer–engineer:

You bring:

• Strong product design fundamentals (UI, UX, IA, workflows).
• Ability to implement UI components in modern front-end frameworks.
• Deep intuition for interaction patterns and user mental models.
• Experience designing and maintaining design systems.
• Comfort inside engineering environments (GitHub, PRs, component architectures).
• A portfolio that shows both polish and product/technical thinking.

Mindset

• Designer at heart, engineer by necessity — and you enjoy both.
• Bias for building: you prototype in code because it’s faster and clearer.
• Systems thinker: you create patterns, not fragments.
• Loves fast-paced, high-ownership environments.
• Obsessed with clarity, quality, and reducing complexity.
• Utilises AI tools to accelerate iteration and implementation.

What Success Looks Like

• Conveo’s interfaces become dramatically more intuitive, elegant, and fast — because of your architectural influence.
• The engineering team ships UI features faster, with fewer inconsistencies, thanks to the system you own.
• Complex AI features feel simple, powerful, and delightful to use.
• The gap between design and engineering shrinks — you become the connective tissue enabling velocity and craft.
• Your blend of design taste + engineering logic becomes a strategic advantage inside the product team.

Why Join Us?

• Own the entire product interface layer at a hyper-growth, YC-backed startup.
• Work directly with founders and world-class engineers who value design deeply.
• Shape how AI-powered research is experienced by global brands.
• Join a team with the ambition and execution speed to break global ARR records.
• Competitive compensation with meaningful equity upside.
• High-standard, high-fun culture with quarterly offsites (next stop: the Alps ⛷️).
• Opportunities to meet customers and directly influence how your work shapes their workflows.

• Application: Remix app (React Router v7 + TypeScript), Tailwind, shadcn/ui, PostgreSQL, etc.
• AI: OpenAI, Deepgram, LangChain, LangSmith, etc.
• Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform, Inngest, Sentry, etc.
• Tooling: GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion, etc.
