Description:
We are seeking a Design System Engineer who brings excellence in frontend engineering, design system stewardship, automation, and emerging AI assisted development practices. This role operates at the intersection of design, engineering, and platform automation, helping scale the delivery and maintenance of our design system across React, Angular, and future platforms.

You will play a key role in modernizing how the compay builds, tests, documents, and deploys UI components. We are looking for someone who is genuinely interested in using AI to improve and accelerate workflows—such as generating component variations, automating documentation and testing, and ensuring consistency across components.

This role is highly collaborative, working closely with product designers, platform engineers, accessibility champions, and product teams across the enterprise. You should bring a strong engineering mindset, an eye for design quality, and a passion for building scalable, automated systems that enable hundreds of developers and designers.

• Participate in reviews and technical discussions about component architecture and system improvements.
• Provide technical guidance to teams implementing design system components.
  

Documentation and Tooling Development

• Create and maintain clear and complete documentation that supports consistent adoption of the design system.
• Develop usage guidelines and developer friendly tooling to ensure components are easy to consume across React, Angular, and other platforms.
• Contribute to workflow automation that improves efficiency and reduces manual effort during component development, testing, and deployment.
  

Strategic Planning and Governance

• Contribute to the long-term roadmap for the design system, including new components, modernization efforts, and automation opportunities.
• Help define API patterns, versioning guidelines, and processes for managing breaking changes.
• Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture, security standards, and accessibility guidelines.
  

Accessibility and Performance Stewardship

• Ensure all components meet WCAG accessibility standards and follow semantic HTML best practices.
• Verify strong performance across devices, platforms, and assistive technologies.
• Promote accessible, inclusive, and high-quality user experiences across the design system.
• Develop applications and UI components that support inclusive access for people with disabilities, including compliance with assistive technologies.
  
  

Qualifications:

Desired:

• Experience working with or building agentic AI workflows
• Experience developing or integrating tools that use MCP (Model Context Protocol)
• Experience with component rendering across multiple platforms (such as Web Components)
• Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure as code tools
• Familiarity with analytics, SEO, and performance optimization for large front end applications
• Experience developing for CMS integrated or content driven applications
• Experience contributing to or operating a large scale enterprise design system, including governance, contribution models, and support channels
