Designer
Zed·The Americas (North, Central, South)·Remote·Posted 17 October 2025
About the role
Zed is building a new kind of programming environment. We’re not just designing a code editor. We’re designing the environment where humans and AI build software together. Zed combines high-performance local editing, real-time collaboration, and AI agents that can work directly in the codebase. We’re looking for a Product Design Engineer to help shape how this environment works. Designers at Zed work closely with engineers, prototype ideas directly in the product, and often implement parts of the interface themselves. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON The editor sits at the center of how developers read, understand, and evolve complex systems. Small interaction decisions can meaningfully shape that process. You might work on: - Collaborative programming workflows - Interaction models for AI agents that read and modify code - Navigating and understanding large codebases - Keyboard-driven workflows and command systems - Interfaces for Git, debugging, and code exploration - Zed’s design system and interaction patterns - Prototyping and implementing UI in the product Many of the interaction patterns we’re exploring don’t yet have established precedents.
