About the role

  • Architectural Ownership of the Design System: Own the design, development, and maintenance of the core Design System and component library, ensuring code quality, security, and versioning integrity for consumption across the enterprise.
  • Drive Developer Experience (DX): Act as the key liaison between the Design and Product teams, focusing on developer documentation, tooling, and accessibility standards to maximize the system's ease of use for external application builders.
  • Implement AI-Native Components: Design and build highly reusable components that are explicitly ready to surface AI interactions, handle context transfer, or integrate advanced data models (e.g., dynamic forms, intelligent modals).
  • Drives Code Quality and Standards: Apply mastery of TypeScript/React to write clean, high-performance code, and enforce the use of design tokens and the components throughout the lifecycle.
  • User-Obsessed Design: Maintain an obsession with the user experience, treating the external and internal developers as the primary customers and prioritizing their needs for efficient and intuitive component consumption.
  • Mentorship and Knowledge Transfer: Proactively mentor junior engineers and peers by establishing best practices for component consumption, architecture, and maintenance across engineering teams.

Requirements

  • Expert-Level Frontend: 5+ years of experience in professional software development with deep expertise in the modern JavaScript ecosystem, including React and TypeScript.
  • Design System: 3+ years of experience with deep, demonstrated expertise in architecting, building, and maintaining multi-application component libraries or design systems.
  • Platform/Library Specialization: Proven ability to manage the lifecycle, versioning, and distribution of shared component packages across a large organization (e.g., Monorepos, Module Federation).
  • AI-First Integration Experience: Proven exposure to working with AI in products, including implementing features that surface AI-generated insights or handle data validation and source attribution.
  • User-Obsessed Design & DX: Demonstrated obsession with developer experience (DX) and delightful user experiences for both industrial users and developers.
  • Architectural Strategy: Proven ability to define and lead technical strategy for complex, ambiguous problems, specifically regarding component interoperability and state management.
