- Build and maintain components, patterns, and foundations (tokens, type, color, layout)
- Hold a high bar for accessibility, performance, and pixel-level craft
- Lead projects that ship new UI patterns to solve pain points for product teams
- Develop a design system that's ready for AI as well as people
- Apply AI technology to create leveraged outcomes
- Invest in the design system's prototyping experience
- Shape how the design function rapidly prototypes and explores new concepts
- Raise the craft and AI fluency of people around you through mentorship and best practices
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of frontend development
- Deep experience with React, TypeScript, and modern web technologies
- Experience building or maintaining a design system or shared component library
- Command of modern frontend tooling: build systems, CI/CD, testing
- High agency and comfort creating clarity in ambiguous spaces
- First-principles systems thinking oriented to outcomes
- Strong product taste and instinct for leverage
- Hands-on fluency at the intersection of AI and software development
