Design Engineer
Antimetal builds an autonomous system for production engineering, providing a continuously updated 'world model' of a company's software stack combined with specialized AI agents that diagnose, fix, prevent, and answer questions about production issues. It serves engineering teams at software companies who need to operate complex production systems without constant manual intervention.

About Antimetal
Antimetal is building the autonomous layer between engineering teams and their running production systems. At its core is a live world model, a continuous understanding of how a company's stack behaves, built by connecting to existing observability, infrastructure, and code tools. On top of this world model sits an army of specialized agents (Proactive Patrol, Reactive Triage, Intelligence World Model, and an Agent Builder platform) that investigate incidents, trace failures, identify root causes, propose fixes, open pull requests, and carry out operational workflows on behalf of engineering teams. Unlike traditional observability tools that surface data for humans to interpret, or coding agents that only generate code, Antimetal aims to continuously investigate, operate, and improve production itself, while routing changes through existing approval flows such as pull requests or Slack approvals. The company serves software engineering teams, is SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliant, and is built in NYC.
Skills
About the Role
You'll play a key role in shaping entirely new interaction paradigms for understanding and controlling infrastructure. You'll own the look, feel, and experience of Antimetal across the entire platform, taking ideas from rough sketches all the way to production-ready interfaces. You'll partner closely with design and engineering, working in Figma and code to ship pixel-perfect, thoughtfully animated experiences. You'll bring strong visual and interaction instincts to every detail, prototyping quickly in Figma, code, or AI tools to find signal fast in a startup environment that moves quickly and iterates often.
