GlobalDesign EngineeringSenior€100k - €150k

Cal.com is hiring a Senior Product Design Engineer to own product surfaces end-to-end — from initial concept through production-grade components. You'll work across booking flows, scheduling primitives, and enterprise surfaces, prototyping directly in code with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or v0, and creating handoff-ready primitives for product engineers.

The role includes designing and maintaining custom components rather than leaning on third-party solutions, and contributing to coss ui, the company's open-source Base UI-based component library. Motion design is expected to be used with intentionality and restraint, and accessibility (keyboard navigation, ARIA, WCAG compliance) is treated as a core craft requirement, not an afterthought.

Cal.com is fully remote with no required office hours and standardized global compensation regardless of location.

  • A product design foundation that has evolved substantially into design engineering
  • Proficiency in HTML, CSS, TypeScript, and React
  • Expertise in headless primitive composition (Base UI, Radix, or equivalent)
  • Experience building and maintaining design systems, not just consuming them
  • Strong motion design principles and mature judgment about when animation is warranted
  • Daily use of AI coding tools
  • Deep knowledge of web standards and platform primitives
  • Demonstrated accessibility expertise beyond baseline compliance
  • Understanding of API architecture, data models, and state management
  • Collaborative mindset with strong written communication
  • Experience working through complex, ambiguous product areas from conception through iteration
  • Bonus: open-source contributions or publicly viewable side projects
  • Bonus: familiarity with scheduling, calendaring, timezone handling, or recurrence logic
  • Bonus: knowledge of locale- and time-aware APIs like Intl.DateTimeFormat
