Staff Design Engineer/Technical Lead, Design Systems

Candidates should possess a keen appreciation for design excellence and code implementation quality. Expertise in design system concepts and their application in modern product development, particularly with web technologies, is essential. Deep experience in CSS architecture, including pre/post-processors, cross-browser compatibility, responsive design, and motion/animation, is required. This includes knowledge of web accessibility standards (WAI) and testing. Proficiency in React, Typescript, SCSS, CSS Modules, Style Dictionary, and Storybook is mandatory. Solid knowledge of the Node.js ecosystem, including npm package development, versioning, and publishing, is necessary. Experience with UI component testing (manual/automated) for design, localization, and accessibility standards (WCAG, a11Y, I18N, I10N) is expected. Prior experience working on a fast-paced, multi-person design system with federated contributions and governance, including Git workflows and code reviews, is important. Experience collaborating closely with designers and converting designs into code is crucial. Hands-on experience with build, test, and release methods, including compilers, linting (Eslint), CI/CD, and testing techniques (Jest, React Testing Library, Chromatic, Rollup), is required. A pragmatic, collaborative, and open-minded outlook is desired, along with comfort in a complex stakeholder environment. Bonus points for experience in native iOS and Android development.
