Design Engineer
About Livo
Livo is building the AI-powered operating system for the healthcare workforce. We operate at the intersection of HR Tech, marketplaces, and applied AI, tackling one of healthcare’s hardest problems: enabling hospitals to plan, staff, and operate their workforce effectively.
By putting clinicians first, we help nurses and doctors focus on what truly matters—patient care. We are a fast-scaling company where advanced AI meets real-world impact.
The Role
We’re looking for a Design Engineer with strong technical chops and AI fluency to join our team in Barcelona.
The era of static wireframe mockup handoff is over. We need someone who understands that AI is reshaping how products are designed and built, and who actively uses AI tools to accelerate their workflow — from generative prototyping and code-assisted design to leveraging LLMs for research synthesis and rapid exploration.
You’ll sit at the intersection of design, engineering, and AI — working cross-product, shipping features that are beautifully designed and technically sound. You’re equally comfortable in Figma, in a React codebase, and prompting an AI to generate a first draft you can refine.
What You’ll Do- Own the end-to-end design process using AI-augmented workflows from research to production-ready components
- Contribute to our design system (React + Storybook)
- Use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, v0) daily for code generation, prototyping, and research synthesis
- Partner with PMs and engineers to define problems, explore solutions, and ship iteratively
- Conduct user research and usability testing, augmented by AI
- Create responsive, accessible interfaces across devices
What We’re Looking For
Design- 3+ years of experience as a Design Engineer (or Product Designer with strong engineering skills) in tech
- Strong portfolio showing end-to-end work (research ship)
- Experience with design systems — building and maintaining them
- Comfortable writing React components — production-quality, not just prototypes
- Experience with Storybook, Git/GitHub workflows, and responsive/accessible web development
- You actively use AI-powered tools (Cursor, Copilot, v0, Claude, ChatGPT) as a genuine multiplier — not a gimmick
- You understand where AI adds real value vs. where human judgment is essential
- You stay current with the AI-design landscape and bring new tools to the team
- Systems thinker. Comfortable with ambiguity. Ships fast.
- High-autonomy profile: proactively identifies opportunities, defines scope, and drives work from idea to shipped outcome with minimal oversight
- Builds product intimacy: invests in deeply understanding our users and domain, develops strong product intuition, and acts as a long-term steward of quality and coherence
- Not precious about "the old way" — if AI does it better, you embrace it
- Clear communicator in both Spanish and English
- Experience in HR tech, SaaS, or B2B products
- Experience designing AI-powered features (conversational UI, predictive interfaces)
- Contributions to open-source design systems or component libraries
- Competitive salary + equity
- On-site in Barcelona with a world class and multidisciplinary team that want to win
- Real ownership — your work shapes products used by thousands of healthcare professionals
