Zed is on a mission to build the world’s most advanced code editor, and we believe the best experiences come from designers who are also builders.

Help shape the product roadmap and build a strong vision, guiding the team toward it
Work directly in Zed's Rust codebase while collaborating (lots of pair programming) with a small team of engineers to fully implement the features you designed
Maintain and evolve Zed’s design system to make building Zed smooth and easy

Join us in revolutionizing the development experience. Your expertise could drive Zed's next game-changing feature!
