Design Engineer

CrowdVolt is rebuilding the infrastructure for live events. We graduated from Y Combinator in 2024 and have since raised a $2.5M+ seed round. CrowdVolt has been growing rapidly, and we are bringing on another founding engineer to support this growth. We're a team of 10+ working in person 5 days a week in New York City. You will work directly with our CTO and existing engineers and designers.

• Fluent in React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and modern CSS, with a strong feel for motion/animation (Framer Motion, GSAP, or similar) and Figma
• Bias toward action and rapid iteration, and can go from a sketch to a working, interactive prototype in hours.
• Uses or can quickly adapt to an AI-native workflow.
