Full-Stack Product Engineer (UI/Brand/Design Focus)

KORE1, a nationwide provider of staffing and recruiting solutions, has an immediate opening for a Full-Stack Product Engineer (UI/Brand/Design Focus) with the option to be fully remote.

Overview
This role is centered on product-driven full-stack development with a strong emphasis on frontend craft, design systems, and user experience. You'll work across a broad product surface—including creator tools, public profiles, community features, and internal systems—owning features end-to-end while shaping how the product looks, feels, and represents the brand.

We're looking for someone who doesn't just build functionality, but obsesses over product quality—balancing technical execution with strong design and UX instincts.

What You'll Do
• Build and ship end-to-end product features, from database schema through to polished, production-ready UI
• Lead the evolution of a large-scale design system (500+ components), ensuring consistency, scalability, and strong visual identity
• Drive the overall look and feel of the product, including typography, color systems, spacing, animations, and micro-interactions
• Develop full-stack experiences across the product lifecycle, including onboarding flows, media management, user profiles, and subscription features
• Contribute to product direction by identifying opportunities to improve user experience, engagement, and conversion
• Develop and maintain backend functionality, including API endpoints, database queries, and real-time features
• Support quality and reliability through testing and documentation, including visual regression testing, end-to-end testing, and component documentation

What We're Looking For
• 5+ years of experience building production web applications, including hands-on backend/API development
• Strong expertise in React and modern CSS frameworks (e.g., Tailwind), with the ability to build complex, responsive interfaces from scratch
• Experience working with design systems or component libraries at scale
• Solid backend fundamentals, including REST API design, relational databases, authentication, and asynchronous processing
• Familiarity with modern frameworks and tools such as Next.js and Node.js-based backends
• Experience with testing and documentation tools such as Storybook, Playwright, or similar
• Strong product mindset with attention to detail in UX, visual hierarchy, and brand consistency
• Ability to make design decisions independently and iterate without relying on pixel-perfect specifications

Nice to Have
• Experience with Radix UI, CVA, Zustand, React Query, Prisma, or Temporal
• Background in building or scaling design systems
• Experience contributing to or influencing product and brand direction

Technology Stack
• React 18, Next.js 14, TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, Storybook
• NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Redis
• Temporal, Playwright, Chromatic

Compensation depends on experience but is typically $155K – $175K DOE
