Senior Software Engineer, Design Systems

Accountabilities:

• • Design and implement AI-assisted workflows that connect design tools, prototypes, and production frontend code using technologies such as Claude Code and Figma MCP.
  • Partner closely with Product Design to develop patterns, components, and workflows that allow design work to translate effectively into production-ready software.
  • Evolve the design system to support AI-assisted development through machine-readable documentation, component metadata, and integration with prototyping workflows.
  • Collaborate with Developer Experience on AI agents and tooling foundations and with Frontend Infrastructure on the web platform, building on existing capabilities rather than duplicating them.
  • Build and improve the infrastructure and workflows that enable product teams to move from early concepts through prototyping and into production.
  • Engage directly with engineers and designers who use the systems you build, including through office hours, feedback collection, and prioritization of high-impact improvements.
  • Research, prototype, and evaluate emerging AI development tools and provide informed recommendations about technologies that could be adopted and scaled.
  • Contribute to a greenfield design-to-code platform and help define the engineering approaches, workflows, and systems that will support its evolution.

  Requirements:

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong background in frontend engineering and production product development.
  • Deep hands-on experience with modern web technologies, particularly TypeScript and React, along with the build, testing, and deployment tooling surrounding them.
  • Demonstrated ability to think beyond individual product features and reason about developer tooling, engineering workflows, infrastructure, and platform-level systems.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or comparable technologies, along with a thoughtful understanding of their capabilities, limitations, and potential for broader adoption.
  • Experience building tools, systems, or infrastructure that are successfully adopted by engineers or other internal users, including consideration of onboarding, documentation, usability, and feedback loops.
  • Design systems experience is beneficial but not required; strong frontend engineering and AI tooling expertise are the core capabilities for the role.
  • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with designers, product managers, Developer Experience, Frontend Infrastructure, and other engineering partners.
  • Ability to evaluate emerging technologies critically and translate experimentation into practical recommendations and scalable engineering solutions.
  • Strong ownership, systems thinking, and communication skills suited to working on a greenfield initiative with significant room to shape the technical direction.

  Benefits:

  • Remote work: Remote opportunity for eligible employees.
  • Competitive compensation: Salary varies by location, level, qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency.
  • U.S. reference salary ranges: The source posting lists ranges of $210,800–$272,800 for San Francisco/Bay Area, San Jose, New York City, and Seattle metros; $189,600–$245,300 for Austin, Washington DC, and specified states; and $179,400–$232,100 for other U.S. locations. These ranges are U.S.-specific and do not provide a Canada-specific salary range.
  • Engineering environment: Opportunity to work on greenfield AI-assisted development workflows, design systems, developer tooling, and frontend infrastructure.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Close partnership with Product Design, Developer Experience, Frontend Infrastructure, and product engineering teams.
  • Inclusive workplace: Commitment to equal employment opportunity and consideration of reasonable accommodations for qualified candidates.
