Technical Designer (QA)

What we’re looking for

• A sharp eye for visual detail. You notice the 2px misalignment, the wrong shade, the spacing that's off
• Strong sense for how good UI should behave, and quick to tell when something feels broken or confusing
• Clear, specific communication. Your bug reports leave no guessing about what's wrong or how to reproduce it
• Comfortable working in Figma and reading designs against a live product
• Methodical and thorough. You check the edge cases, not just the happy path
• Able to read and interpret automated test results to catch regressions

Projects

At Nixtla, we build time series forecasting tools like TimeGPT, and our product surfaces (dashboards, docs, playgrounds) need to look sharp and work flawlessly. We're looking for a Technical Designer to be the quality gate before things reach users. You'll review every release, both manually and with automated checks, catching visual and functional issues across the product. When something's off, you'll flag it clearly through Figma comments and Slack so the team can fix it fast. This role is for someone with a sharp eye for design detail and behavior, who can tell when something looks or feels wrong and communicate exactly what and why.

What you’ll do

You'll be the last set of eyes before anything reaches our users. You'll review new features and releases across our product surfaces (dashboards, docs, playgrounds), checking that everything looks right and behaves correctly. You'll run through flows manually, lean on automated checks to catch regressions, and compare what's built against the designs in Figma. When you spot something off, whether it's a misaligned component, a broken state, or a confusing interaction, you'll report it clearly through Figma comments and Slack so the team can move fast. Your job is to keep the bar high and make sure what we ship feels polished and works the way it should.

Benefits

We support skill growth through practical ownership: you’ll ship React features, take responsibility for QA, and strengthen your understanding of both design quality and testing practices. We emphasize collaboration and feedback so you can learn quickly from reviews and shared engineering standards. You’ll work in an environment where quality is part of the definition of “done,” and where clear expectations around testing and UI fidelity help you build confidence as you progress.We’re excited to meet you if you want to combine front-end development with a strong QA and design-quality mindset.

Nice to have

• Experience writing automated tests (Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
• Familiarity with React and basic front-end concepts
• Background in design or front-end development
• Experience with QA processes or tooling
• Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment
