Senior Frontend Engineer, Design Systems

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain production-ready UI components that accurately reflect design intent
• Use AI tools to accelerate implementation, iteration, and refinement of components
• Validate AI-generated outputs to ensure quality, accessibility, and consistency
• Shape the design system (tokens, components, patterns) to be machine-readable and AI-friendly
• Contribute to workflows that enable design-to-code generation using AI, and ensure components include the metadata AI needs to generate and validate code
• Identify opportunities where AI can reduce manual effort in component creation and maintenance
• Act as a core member of the design team, participating in critiques and explorations
• Provide technical perspective during design to ensure outputs are scalable and implementable
• Help designers understand how their work can better support AI-driven development
• Improve integration between design tools (e.g., Figma) and engineering outputs
• Use AI to generate documentation, specs, and component usage guidelines
• Ensure high fidelity between design and implementation
• Maintain accessibility and inclusive design standards across components
• Create documentation and examples that serve both designers and engineers
• Advocate for workflows that improve speed without compromising quality

Requirements
