About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You think in systems, you ship production code, and you care deeply about what actually makes it into the hands of users.
You'll work alongside a design engineer already on the team, and together you'll own the bridge between design intent and shipped experience across our core product.
You'll build and evolve the design system in code, raise the quality bar for UI that ships, and create the tooling and workflows that help the entire design and engineering org move faster.
You'll own the integrity of the design system across both surfaces.
You'll be the person who cares about the last 10%: transitions, micro-interactions, responsive behavior, loading states, edge case UI, accessibility.
You'll look at how the design and engineering teams collaborate, prototype, and ship, and you'll build tools and processes that make it better.
You're capable of shipping production-ready code. Whether that's components in the design system, UI improvements in the product, or internal tooling, the work you do is built to the standard of something that goes in front of users.
You'll partner closely with product designers, but the collaboration model isn't a handoff. Designers own the problem space, user insight, and experience strategy. You own making that strategy real at the highest level of craft.
You'll also work directly with frontend and full-stack engineers. You'll establish patterns and components they can build on, review UI implementations, and raise the standard for what 'done' looks like in the codebase.

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years building production-ready frontend code in complex, component-driven applications
Deep expertise in TypeScript, React, and modern CSS (we use Tailwind), with strong opinions about component architecture, performance, and maintainability
A portfolio or body of work that demonstrates both technical depth and design sensibility. You don't need a design degree, but you need taste.
Proven experience building and maintaining design systems in production, not just in Figma. Familiarity with tools like Base UI, Storybook, and Figma Code Connect is a plus.
Exposure to microfrontend architectures, Vite, and composition APIs is a bonus
A track record of building internal tools, developer experience improvements, or workflow automation that made teams more effective
You're already using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI-assisted development tools in your daily workflow. We're a Claude Code shop, and we expect you to be fluent.
Familiarity with MCPs and how tools like Figma, Figma Console, and Notion connect into AI-assisted workflows. You understand how these tools and integrations fit together and can help the team get more out of them.
Beyond fluency, you're a dabbler and experimenter. You try new tools, push their limits, and share what you learn. You're excited about how AI changes the way software gets built, and you have opinions about where it's headed.
You're a tinkerer. You don't just build what's asked; you spot leverage points and build what's needed.
You care about systems more than features. You'd rather build something reusable than something bespoke.
You're excited to redesign ways of working, not just product surface area. Process, tooling, and workflow are design problems to you.
You have strong convictions about quality, but you ship. You know the difference between polish that matters and perfection that stalls.
You operate with high ownership and low ego. You'll mentor engineers on UI craft, take direction from product designers on user problems, and pair with your teammates to raise the bar together.
You won't live in Figma full-time. You're comfortable there, especially when it comes to the design system, and you'll partner with product designers to keep the system cohesive as it evolves. But your primary workspace is the codebase.
You won't be a frontend engineer who receives redlined mockups. You're a creative partner, not an implementer.
You won't be managing people on day one. This is a hands-on IC role with the expectation that you'll lead through craft, systems, and influence.
