# The career

<!-- https://learn-ui.com/chapters/career -->

This chapter describes the job from inside it: what the person who built design engineering at DoorDash says the role demands, how Vercel and Linear and a dozen other writers describe where it lives, the argument for why it should exist at all, why the strongest portfolio a design engineer has is their own website, and where to keep learning once the book is closed. Every description here comes from someone who holds, or built, the role.
