Design Engineer (Mobile)

At Ello, our mission is to maximize the potential of all children. Our first product, Read with Ello, is an AI reading teacher that listens to children read out loud. Ello uses speech recognition to help them when they get stuck, makes up stories using generative AI, and inspires a love for reading.

We're looking for a Design Engineer to bridge the gap between design and engineering, focusing on creating seamless front-end experiences on mobile platforms. You will own feature development from start to finish, at times acting as your own product manager, and collaborating closely with product and engineering teams. You don't need to be an illustrator, but you're able to take an existing component library and build new frontend tools from scratch on the frontend (React & Flutter) without a designer. You're responsible for bringing Ello's tutoring AI to life through character development and game interactions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop and integrate front-end components for mobile and web platforms
• Own features end-to-end, from concept to delivery
• Serve as a bridge between design and engineering
• Build new components and maintain consistency within the app
• Set up basic infrastructure and manage production workflows

Required experience includes strong UI/UX design skills, attention to detail, experience with object-oriented programming and mobile development, knowledge of front-end platforms, and familiarity with Flutter or native Android development.

Ello is a rapidly growing, series A startup with offices in San Francisco, São Paulo, Nairobi, and New York. We're backed by world-class investors and have been recognized on Fortune's "Change the World" and Time's 2024 Best Inventions lists.
