You’ll join Procreate's dynamic product team and play a pivotal role in building and enhancing next-generation products and features.

As an Interface Engineer, you will be a design-focused professional with an innate ability to create seamless user interfaces and engaging digital interactions. Reporting directly to the CTO and collaborating across teams, including product care and executives, you will work closely with Designers to bring prototypes to life and iteratively address user experience challenges.

One of the driving factors behind Procreate’s success is their close-knit teamwork. They believe the key to invention is the open flow of ideas and collaboration — revelling in the creative process and taking the time to hone their craft. Together they’re dedicated to building creative software that is powerful, accessible, and intuitive. They're not afraid to rethink, iterate and persist until they create the perfect product. This approach has led to two coveted Apple Design Awards and being the best-selling app on iPad for the past six years running.
