This job is curated by UX Remote Talent from external sources. We are not affiliated with the employer.

Zed is building the world’s most advanced code editor — and we believe the best product experiences come from designers who are also builders.

We’re looking for a hands-on designer who lives in the codebase, cares deeply about developer tools, and wants to help shape a product that feels intuitive, powerful, and genuinely delightful to use.

What you’ll do

  • Own the end-to-end experience: from early concept to implementation
  • Design clean, elegant interfaces that make developers faster and happier
  • Shape the product roadmap and bring strong design vision to the table
  • Pair program with engineers and contribute directly in Zed’s Rust codebase
  • Extend and refine Zed’s custom design system using our in-house UI framework, GPUI

What we’re looking for

  • You design in both Figma and code — and enjoy both
  • You have strong visual taste and obsess over details
  • You thrive in ambiguity and love working at the edge of what’s possible
  • You’re open to learning Rust and building in GPUI

Bonus points

  • Background in developer tools
  • Experience with or curiosity about Rust

Join us to help shape the next generation of code editors. You’ll be part of a small, talented team where your contributions have a direct impact.
