Requirements

What you’ll need

Solid understanding of accessibility best practices (WCAG) and state modeling, demonstrated in shipped work
Fluency working with design tokens, layout systems, and interaction states, with a genuine interest in visual and interaction design
A documentation-first approach: teams should be able to self-serve from what you write
Demonstrated experience shipping design systems work at another organization. Field-tested knowledge, not just theoretical familiarity.
Storybook (or similar) component documentation and showcase workflow experience, a plus
Visual regression testing and CI quality gate experience, a plus
