Tessera Labs is an AI startup that builds autonomous agents to automate complex enterprise IT and ERP transformation tasks.
ABOUT TESSERA LABS Tessera Labs is redefining how enterprises adopt and operationalize Artificial Intelligence. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Foundation Capital, and built by leaders from Meta AI, Google Research, Microsoft AI, SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce, we build multi-agent AI systems that automate complex business workflows across platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Snowflake, and MuleSoft. Our mission is to bring real AI automation to the enterprise; delivering speed, precision, and measurable impact. We move fast, operate with extreme ownership, and build at the frontier of applied AI. Our ethos in one line: enterprise serious, AI forward.

We move fast, operate with extreme ownership, and build at the frontier of applied AI. Our ethos in one line: enterprise serious, AI forward. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Design Engineer to own the connective tissue between design and engineering on the Tessera Mosaic platform. You'll be the person who turns design into living, production code — building and maintaining our common component library, keeping our design patterns coherent, and making sure both keep pace with a platform that's growing fast. This is a hands-on, high-ownership IC role for someone who is equally comfortable in Figma and in a codebase. You'll spend your time designing reusable components, implementing them in front-end code, and raising the consistency and quality bar across every surface. You won't just document the design system — you'll build it, ship it, and evolve it. You'll partner directly with designers, product, and engineering, and as the platform expands, you'll have real influence over how our UI is architected. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own, build, and maintain our common component library.esign reusable, accessible, well-documented components and implement them in production front-end code. - Establish and uphold design patterns across the platform: define conventions, keep them consistent across products and surfaces, and evolve them as needs change. - Keep the system ahead of the platform's growth. Anticipate new patterns, refactor and extend components, and prevent drift and one-off implementations as the product expands. - Bridge design and engineering: translate high-fidelity designs into faithful, performant, reusable UI, and feed real implementation constraints back into the design process. - Build prototypes and reference implementations that show how new patterns should look and behave in code, not just in mockups. - Partner with product designers, PMs, and engineers to align on vision, ensure technical feasibility, and ship at a high quality bar. - Champion accessibility, performance, and consistency as first-class properties of the system. - Maintain the system's health over time: versioning, documentation, migration paths, and developer ergonomics so the rest of engineering can move fast on top of it. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 4+ years working at the intersection of design and front-end engineering (design engineer, UX engineer, design systems engineer, or a front-end engineer with strong design sensibility). - Strong front-end engineering skills:production experience with React and TypeScript, modern CSS, and component-driven architecture. - Demonstrated experience building and maintaining a component library or design system that real teams shipped on top of. - A strong eye for interaction and visual detail: you can design a component, not just implement someone else's spec. - Deep care for accessibility, performance, and cross-surface consistency. - Fluency in Figma and an understanding of how design tools and code should stay in sync. - Systems-level thinking:you design and build for reuse and scale, not one-off screens. - Excellent communication and a collaborative, proactive mindset; comfortable owning an area end to end. NICE TO HAVE - Experience with design-system tooling (Storybook, tokens, automated visual/regression testing, monorepo setups). - Experience designing or building for AI-native, agentic, or data-intensive products. - Familiarity with ERP, CRM, HCM, or other systems of record. - Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment. - Experience prototyping AI-assisted tools (e.g., Cursor or similar). WHY TESSERA LABS - Own the component library and design patterns at the foundation of an entire enterprise AI platform. - Work at the intersection of design, front-end engineering, AI, and ERP systems. - High ownership, high impact, and direct influence on how our product is built. - Collaborate with a deeply technical and customer-focused team.
