Translate design intent into production UIs: build prototypes, implement accessible polished interfaces, collaborate with designers and product, and bridge design and engineering from early sketches through shipped product.
Build at Auger
What You’ll Do
What You Bring
Auger is the autonomous operating system for supply chains — the layer that finally allows disparate systems like ERP, WMS, and TMS to work together instead of against each other.
Most supply chain software surfaces problems and waits for a human to act. Auger solves them. Our AI detects disruptions, evaluates trade-offs, and executes decisions automatically — moving from signal to action in seconds, not weeks. We eliminate the Coordination Tax: the billions in capital and time lost when disconnected systems force the best people in the business to become the Human API between planning and execution.
At Auger, we design autonomy into our systems. We expect the same from our people.
That means:
- Clear ownership, not decision by consensus
- First principles over inherited patterns
- Shipping systems, not slide decks
- Fast feedback from reality, not opinions
If you want to build, ship, and iterate against reality, Auger is for you.
Auger was founded by Dave Clark and is backed by $150M from Oak HC/FT and Eclipse Capital. Headquarters in Dallas, TX and Bellevue, Washington.
About the Team & RoleGreat design and great engineering don't always speak the same language, and the gap between them is where good ideas die on the way to production. This role closes that gap: turning design intent into working UI, and grounding design decisions in what's actually buildable, from the earliest sketch through shipped product.
You'll prototype before you polish, advocate for the end user in rooms full of competing priorities, and be fluent enough in both design and code to move fluidly between them without losing fidelity in either direction.
- Serve as the connective tissue between design and engineering, translating design intent into working UI while grounding design decisions in technical reality.
- Build prototypes early and often, surfacing opportunities, mistakes, and overlooked details at the prototyping stage before they impact timelines and budgets.
- Advocate strongly for UX in cross-functional discussions, speaking to content strategy, creative direction, and engineering complexity, while championing the end user's perspective.
- Implement polished, accessible UIs with a solid command of programming fundamentals, fluent in both design ("pixels") and code ("pointers").
- Collaborate closely with designers, researchers, and product partners, and build internal tools that streamline the broader UX process.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Design, or another relevant field.
- 4+ years of experience working at the intersection of design and engineering.
- Proficiency with React, JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS.
- Experience working with Azure or a comparable cloud platform.
- Strong command of accessibility standards and a track record of shipping polished, production-grade UI.
- Fluency in prototyping tools and workflows, with the judgment to know when a prototype is answering the right question.
- Comfort operating as the interpreter in a room of specialists: you translate between designers, engineers, and product without losing precision in either direction.
- A strong point of view on end-user experience, and the confidence to advocate for it even when it creates friction.
