We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to own and evolve our design system - not just consume it. You'll turn Figma designs into reusable, accessible React + TypeScript components and drive their adoption across product teams.
Responsibilities:
- Build and maintain our component library (React + TypeScript): tokens, layout primitives, complex components.
- Translate Figma designs into accessible, responsive, production-ready components.
- Document components and usage guidelines in Storybook.
- Own versioning/publishing of the library as an internal npm package.
- Drive adoption across squads and prevent UI drift/duplication.
- Ensure accessibility (WCAG/ARIA) and cross-browser consistency.
- Mentor other frontend engineers on the design system.
Requirements:
- 5+ years frontend experience, strong React + TypeScript
- Proven experience building or scaling a design system/component library — not just using one.
- Strong grasp of component API design and reusable styling (CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, or similar).
- Experience with Storybook and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1+).
- Experience versioning/publishing internal npm packages.
- Comfortable working directly from Figma, including design tokens.
- AI-first workflow: regularly delegates real, multi-step tasks to AI coding agents (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) — provides proper context, reviews diffs critically, verifies output, and has a clear process for when the AI gets it wrong.
- Bonus: AI-native, not just AI-using — creates or customizes skills/MCP servers, manages context deliberately, picks the right model for the task, and can speak to specific failures and trade-offs (not just tool/brand names).
Nice to Have:
- Design tokens tooling (Style Dictionary).
- Prior experience as a design system owner/lead.
We offer*:
- Flexible working format - remote, office-based or flexible
- A competitive salary and good compensation package
- Personalized career growth
- Professional development tools (mentorship program, tech talks and trainings, centers of excellence, and more)
- Active tech communities with regular knowledge sharing
- Education reimbursement
- Memorable anniversary presents
- Corporate events and team buildings
- Other location-specific benefits
*not applicable for freelancers
