We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to own and evolve our design system - not just consume it. You'll turn Figma designs into reusable, accessible React + TypeScript components and drive their adoption across product teams.

Responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain our component library (React + TypeScript): tokens, layout primitives, complex components.
  • Translate Figma designs into accessible, responsive, production-ready components.
  • Document components and usage guidelines in Storybook.
  • Own versioning/publishing of the library as an internal npm package.
  • Drive adoption across squads and prevent UI drift/duplication.
  • Ensure accessibility (WCAG/ARIA) and cross-browser consistency.
  • Mentor other frontend engineers on the design system.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years frontend experience, strong React + TypeScript
  • Proven experience building or scaling a design system/component library — not just using one.
  • Strong grasp of component API design and reusable styling (CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, or similar).
  • Experience with Storybook and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1+).
  • Experience versioning/publishing internal npm packages.
  • Comfortable working directly from Figma, including design tokens.
  • AI-first workflow: regularly delegates real, multi-step tasks to AI coding agents (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) — provides proper context, reviews diffs critically, verifies output, and has a clear process for when the AI gets it wrong.
  • Bonus: AI-native, not just AI-using — creates or customizes skills/MCP servers, manages context deliberately, picks the right model for the task, and can speak to specific failures and trade-offs (not just tool/brand names).

Nice to Have:

  • Design tokens tooling (Style Dictionary).
  • Prior experience as a design system owner/lead.
