About the role
We're hiring a Design Engineer to sit across our design and engineering teams. This person will build, own, and maintain our design system — working across Figma and React to design and ship design at a production standard. We're excited about this role — you'll be working directly with the Heads and Directors of Design and Technology to shape it from the ground up.
The role is biased toward design. You should have robust design sensibility — you care deeply about typography, spacing, interaction quality, and the details that compound into how a product feels. You also need to be able to build what you design in production-quality React.
We are not looking for a design system designer without engineering experience. We are not looking for an engineer without design experience. We are looking for someone with design system experience who can do both.
What you'll do
- Build, own,
and maintain the design system as a coded React component library (Storybook, tokens, documentation)
- Design and build UI in both Figma and code — working in real-time collaboration with the design and engineering teams
- Set up and manage a contribution process for the design system so other teams can adopt and extend it
- Set up, document, and maintain components to a production standard
- Work with the engineering team to implement the design system across products
- Build and maintain roadmaps for rolling the design system into the production application
- Produce tooling for validating designs in the pipeline — ensuring what's built matches what's designed
- Prototype ideas quickly in code so the team can validate directions before committing engineering resource
- Ensure consistency and quality across products by establishing and enforcing component standards
- Contribute to design reviews, evaluating work against the system and the platform
- Use
