Frontend Developer, Design Systems

Hybrid role - 3 days Onsite and 2 days Remote

Job Description:

• We’re looking for a front-end developer who cares about the craft of a user interface, someone who notices when an easing curve is wrong, when a focus state is missing, when spacing is off by two pixels. 
• You’ll join the team that builds and maintains the component library every one of our applications is built on. 
• Part of that system deals with 3D objects, so Three.js experience matters here.
• This means working to very specific design specifications. Our designers hand off detailed specs in Figma, and we expect you to implement them faithfully. 
• It also means pushing back when the spec is wrong: if there’s a better way to build something, or a technical reason the design won’t hold up, we want you to say so and explain why. 
• The goal is the best possible result, not blind implementation.
• You’re expected to use AI heavily in this role, and to review every line it generates before it goes upstream. 
• Part of the job is building the guardrails that make AI-generated code consistent with our style and conventions at scale.

What you’ll do:

• Build and maintain React components alongside the rest of the team, from primitives through complex composite components.
• Implement designs to spec from Figma, with precision, states, transitions, responsive behavior, and light and dark modes.
• Contribute to Storybook: write and maintain stories, keep documentation current, and help keep the library genuinely usable by the engineers who consume it.
• Write component tests with Vitest and Testing Library, and end-to-end and visual regression coverage with Playwright, all running in CI.
• Implement motion and animation, CSS transitions and keyframes, and WebGL where the experience calls for it.
• Build the AI harness: the prompts, rules, linting, type constraints, and review workflow that keep generated code consistent with our conventions.
• Partner daily with designers and other engineers, review specs before implementation, flag problems early, and review pull requests.

What we’re looking for:

• 4+ years of frontend development experience, including significant time working on a component library or design system.
• Deep React expertise, composition patterns, hooks, performance, and the discipline of designing component APIs that other engineers have to live with.
• Genuine craft sensibility.
• You care how an interface feels, not just whether it renders.
• Interaction states, motion, and detail are part of the work, not polish applied at the end.
• Three.js experience, highly desired.
• Part of our system is 3D, and we need someone who can build and maintain those components rather than route around them.
• Proven ability to work from detailed design specifications, and comfort in Figma, reading specs, inspecting values, and knowing where to look for intent.
• An opinion, and the ability to defend it.
• You can tell a designer why a different approach is better, make the case clearly, and then commit to whatever the team decides.
• Strong CSS, including animation and transitions.
• Ample experience testing components with Vitest and Testing Library at the individual pattern level, plus Playwright for end-to-end and snapshot testing, and solid working knowledge of CI pipelines.
• Familiarity with design tokens and how to structure them so one source of truth can feed Web, iOS, and Android.
• Extensive hands-on experience with AI coding tools, and clear judgment about their output.
• You use them constantly, and you review everything before pushing.
• Demonstrable experience collaborating with designers and other engineers, we’ll ask about specific projects and how those relationships worked.

Nice to have:

• Working knowledge of MUI, theming, overrides, and extending it without fighting it. Familiarity is enough; depth is a plus.
• Experience building custom tooling around AI agents: MCP servers, Skills, custom linting, or codegen.
• Experience with React Three Fiber or similar React/Three.js bindings.
