Senior Frontend Engineer, Design Systems

Responsibilities

Design-to-Code Execution (AI-Enhanced)

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

AI-Driven Design System Enablement

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, including using AI to scaffold components, run linting, generate tests and produce documentation.

Embedded Collaboration with Design

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

Tooling & Workflow Innovation

Improve integration between design tools (e.g., Figma) and engineering outputs

Use AI to generate documentation, specs, and component usage guidelines

Explore AI-assisted approaches to testing (visual regression, accessibility) and validation

Prototype and experiment with new AI-driven workflows for design systems

Consistency, Quality & Accessibility

Ensure high fidelity between design and implementation

Maintain accessibility and inclusive design standards across components

Contribute to shared standards that improve system consistency across design and code

Adoption & Advocacy

Create documentation and examples that serve both designers and engineers

Support teams in using the design system effectively

Advocate for workflows that improve speed without compromising qualit

A design system that can be effectively leveraged by AI for generation, validation, and maintenance

Faster iteration from design to production through AI-assisted workflows

High fidelity between design intent and shipped UI, even with AI in the loop

Increased efficiency for both designers and engineers using the system

Skills & Experience

~4–6 years of experience in front-end engineering, design engineering, or design systems

Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript

Experience building UI components in modern frameworks (Vue, React, etc.)

Strong design sensibility and attention to detail (visual and interaction)

Experience working closely with design tools (e.g., Figma, tokens, variants)

Experience or strong interest in AI-assisted design and development workflows

Understanding of accessibility and inclusive design practices

Familiarity with design tokens and system architecture across design and code

Ability to operate fluently between design and engineering contexts
