Design Engineer, Editorial
griddable.io, Indianapolis, IN, United States
Description
We’re looking for a hybrid Design Engineer who shapes the visual direction of our blog and editorial content — then builds it into production‑ready pages.
You’ll evolve what Salesforce‑brand storytelling looks like on the web: designing modern, editorial web experiences and bringing them to life using AI‑assisted tools and lightweight front‑end techniques. In doing so, you’ll play a central role in transforming our blog into a more dynamic, high‑value destination — and in changing how content is created and scaled across the team.
The ideal candidate has strong visual design skills and a builder’s instinct. They’re excited to use AI to accelerate their own workflow, experiment with new ways of working, and build self‑service tools that empower content creators to do more.
Key Responsibilities Design
Lead the visual direction for our blog and editorial content — establishing the look, feel, and editorial intent behind feature stories, series, guides, and playbooks
Create original illustrations and visual concepts that differentiate Salesforce editorial & web content and bring complex ideas to life
Design with purpose: typography, hierarchy, interactivity, pacing, and whitespace that builds credibility and keeps readers in long‑form content
Read and interpret long‑form editorial content to identify the visual narrative, key concepts, and moments that deserve visual emphasis
Art direct photography, illustration styles, and image treatments that set the tone for each piece and keep readers engaged through long‑form content
Develop new content formats — scrollytelling, data visualization, interactive narratives — that push the blog toward a premium editorial destination
Leverage AI tools to generate and iterate on design concepts, create variations of layouts and components, and reduce manual work in repetitive tasks
Keep the editorial experience coherent with the broader Salesforce brand and web presence — newsroom, campaigns, product pages, etc.
Translate abstract or technical concepts (like the Agentic Enterprise) into clear, engaging visual narratives that earn trust with skeptical audiences
Build
Bring designs to life using AI‑assisted tools and lightweight front‑end techniques, reducing dependency on engineering for editorial pages
Rapidly prototype and A/B test ideas using design‑to‑code workflows (Figma Make, Builder.io, Claude Code)
Ship production‑ready editorial pages directly from design, closing the gap between concept and live content
Pull in back‑end engineering when scope exceeds the AI‑assisted limits
Scale
Create and maintain a living design system of editorial templates and reusable components
Design self‑service tools that let content teams build high‑quality, on‑brand designs without needing design support on every request
Serve as the visual steward of the blog and editorial experience, ensuring quality, consistency, and brand alignment across every piece of content regardless of who creates it
Explore AI‑assisted approaches that auto‑generate layouts and apply design patterns at scale
