Senior Design Engineer

Role overview Create and evolve the shared interface components and APIs that product teams use to build consistent, accessible experiences. This individual-contributor role combines hands-on frontend engineering with close collaboration with designers: you’ll translate design principles into code and decide which patterns the system should enforce, document, or detect through automation. The work also considers how components perform when both engineers and AI tools use them.

Responsibilities - Build and maintain reusable design-system components and APIs for product teams. - Work with designers to turn interaction patterns and visual principles into reliable implementations. - Decide when to enforce a design rule in a component, explain it in guidance, or catch deviations with tooling. - Improve internal tools and infrastructure to support fast, high-quality product development. - Promote usability and accessibility, and refine core product experiences. - Support design critiques, planning, documentation, and team growth.

Requirements - Strong practical frontend engineering skills, including semantic HTML, modern CSS, and JavaScript; React is preferred. - Experience designing and building design-system components and APIs, not only using an existing system. - Ability to take work from problem definition through implementation, with sound UX and systems judgment. - Familiarity with design software such as Figma and with visual and interaction design principles. - Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain and challenge implementation choices constructively. - Careful attention to interaction states, motion, accessibility, and documentation.

Nice to have Prior design-system work, especially experience that predates widespread AI coding tools; strong accessibility practices; and the ability to explain complex ideas to technical and nontechnical partners.
