About Us

InstaLILY AI builds vertical AI Teammates (InstaWorkers™)—autonomous, role-based AI workers that execute revenue-critical work end-to-end inside a company's existing systems. Coordinated by InstaBrain™, our shared company intelligence layer, InstaLILY transforms fragmented data, inboxes, ERPs, and CRMs into reliable execution.

What’s Design Engineering?

Design engineers bring “taste” into engineering. They ship high-craft UI while building the systems, tooling, and workflows that help teams move faster and build better products in an AI-native environment. At InstaLILY, design engineers own production UI quality, design systems as infrastructure, and prototyping workflows that turn emerging ideas into shipped experiences.

What You'll Be Doing

Shape AI-native product experiences

Design and build customer-facing experiences across chat, voice, copilots, and agentic workflows.
Turn concepts, prototypes, and product ideas into polished, production-ready interfaces.
Bring strong front-end craft to interaction design, responsiveness, and implementation detail.

Build design systems as infrastructure

Build and evolve a design system in code as shared product infrastructure, across core components, tokens, patterns, and documentation.
Help make the system machine-consumable, so both humans and AI-assisted tools can generate consistent interfaces from shared foundations.

Bring taste to what ships

Bring strong judgment to UI craft and implementation quality, making thoughtful decisions around interaction design, accessibility, performance, and maintainability.
Help ensure what ships feels clear, cohesive, and intentional, with the discernment to refine details, uphold standards, and know what elevates the product experience.

Improve tooling and team workflows

Build internal tools that support teams across engineering, design, and functions like sales, operations, marketing, and recruiting.
Evaluate and integrate modern AI tools, then turn those learnings into secure, repeatable workflows the broader team can build on.

Qualification

1+ years of experience in front-end engineering, design engineering, or product design with code.
Strong foundation in React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
Sharp eye for visual quality, interaction detail, and product craft.

Interest in AI-native product experiences and how AI tools are changing the way products are built.
