Who we are looking for

We’re looking for a Design Engineer to help define the future of accounting at Sanna. We need a builder who speaks both design and code to bring our AI-powered accounting vision to life, crafting the interface that makes complexity feel simple. This is a foundational role where taste, judgment, and systems thinking matter – and where design directly shapes trust, clarity, and scale in a high-stakes domain.

Why Sanna?

Sanna is building a new kind of accounting firm – designed from the ground up for a world where AI handles most of the manual work that has defined the industry for decades. We combine AI-driven workflows, modern technology, and deep professional expertise to deliver the peace of mind of a traditional accounting firm, while radically changing how the work is done behind the scenes.

We’re building Sanna with international scale in mind from day one. Starting with holding companies and expanding into operating companies, we’re creating a category-defining product in a domain where correctness, trust, and clarity are non-negotiable.

We’re a small, highly ambitious team building Sanna from Oslo with global reach. We value ownership, craft, and thoughtful speed – knowing when to move fast and when to be precise. Design is not a service function here; it’s a core part of how decisions are made and how quality is upheld across product and company.

Where Design Meets Code

About the role

At Sanna, we're not just iterating on existing accounting software – we're reimagining the entire workflow with AI at its core. The Design Engineer is a critical new role at the heart of this mission. You are the bridge between concept and reality, responsible for breathing life into our designs and ensuring the product feels as intelligent and effortless as the AI powering it. You will work end-to-end, taking ownership of the entire UI layer. This means you're not just a ticket-taker – you're a partner to both design and engineering. You'll contribute to the design process with your technical expertise and build a frontend that is both beautiful and scalable. In our high-stakes domain of accounting, the clarity, trust, and quality of the UI you build will directly define our success.

Is This You?

What we're looking for
We value judgment, craft, and a collaborative spirit over years of experience or a specific tech stack. You're a great fit if you resonate with the following:
5+ years of years experience, designing and/or shipping web experiences users genuinely love
Portfolio demonstrating exceptional taste and advanced web interactions
Ability to make smart trade-offs between speed and polish, knowing when to ship and when to refine
Expertise in frontend, either as a front-end developer or a designer who ships
Experience translating scrappy explorations into production-ready experiences
Strong design sense with an eye for detail, accessibility, and usability
Ideally - you push the boundaries of the web with technologies like WebGL

Build the UI that makes complex accounting disappear.

What you’ll do

Sanna is seeking a foundational Design Engineer to translate our product vision into a polished, intuitive reality. You will own the implementation of our user experience, working at the intersection of design and engineering to build the frontend that powers our accounting platform. This is a role for someone who loves the craft of building beautiful, functional interfaces and experiences and wants to have a direct impact on the product's success.

Build experiences that delight, also designing interactions or pairing closely with the team
Drive front-end execution - pioneering new interaction patterns, micro-animations, and delightful details that elevate the entire experience
Explore and iterate on visual designs with designers, translating explorations into scalable, web-native implementations
Build and maintain reusable components that enhance consistency while enabling creativity across product and marketing
Champion frontend quality, performance, and accessibility standards across the entire product
