Graphics (WebGL) Engineer
Phase is a visual and intuitive digital design tool, reworked for the new age. Phase team is based in Taipei and Berlin. We come from different backgrounds, among us there are ex-hackers, architects, professional jugglers, serial entrepreneurs, MMA fighters and robotics experts. Some of us are husbands and dads.
About the Position
Phase is building a simple, visual, intuitive Digital Design product that everyone has always dreamed of! We want to help people enjoy being creative!
Designing websites and apps — what we at Phase call Digital Design — is fundamentally different from Print Design. Digital Designs are more about designing screens rather than pages, flow layouts adapting to dynamic websites and apps, advanced element interaction states, along with deep and practical component libraries.
The output of digital design is <Code />.
Phase is building exported code with fully customized configurations. We aim to make things like selectors, events, conditions in our Digital Design products with visual and intuitive tools that enable your designs to become reality fast.
