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 strong 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.
Your tasks
- Building, owning, and maintaining the design system as a production-ready React component library, including Storybook, design tokens, and documentation
- Designing and developing user interfaces in both Figma and React code, collaborating closely with design and engineering teams in real time
- Defining, documenting, and managing a scalable contribution process to enable teams to adopt and extend the design system
- Implementing and rolling out the design system across products while maintaining clear adoption roadmaps
- Ensuring consistency, quality, and accessibility by establishing component standards, validating design-to-code alignment, and contributing to design reviews
- Prototyping rapidly and leveraging AI tools to explore variations, validate ideas early, and accelerate delivery without compromising craft
Requirements
- At least 5 years of presenting a portfolio or personal site that demonstrates design thinking and problem-solving, not just delivered work
- Demonstrating strong design fundamentals, including layout, typography, color, interaction design, and motion
- Leading and defending design decisions in Figma with confidence and clarity
- Writing production-quality React and TypeScript code, focused on clean, maintainable components rather than prototypes
- Bringing proven design system experience, having built, contributed to, or maintained component libraries using Storybook, design tokens, and documentation
- Proficiency in English is a must
