Frontend Developer - Design System

Summary:

As a Front‑End Engineer on the Design System team, you’ll be a technical specialist who builds the reusable UI components and tooling that power customer experiences used by millions. You’ll collaborate closely with designers and product teams to translate design intent into robust, accessible, high‑performing React and React Native components—documented, tested, and easy for product squads to adopt at scale.

This role blends hands‑on engineering with enablement: you’ll own component quality and lifecycle, improve our internal tooling, champion accessibility and performance, and help elevate front‑end craft across the organization.

Main Objectives and Activities

• Collaborate with designers to develop reusable multi‑platform (web/mobile), and accessible elements, such as components (React, Typescript, SCSS, Tailwind, React Native is a plus), icons, page templates, variables, etc. 
• Build to WCAG standards, conduct a11y checks (roles, semantics, focus, color contrast, etc.), and collaborate with designers to ensure inclusive UX.
• Write unit and integration tests with Jest and React Testing Library; uphold TDD principles where applicable.
• Manage component lifecycles (versioning, deprecations, change logs) and support teams during upgrades.
• Use Git/GitHub for version control and reviews; contribute to CI/CD pipelines and quality gates;
• Publish and maintain component documentation and usage guidelines (in Storybook, Next, and Docusaurus), including props, variants, accessibility notes, code examples, and migration guidance.
• Contribute to internal tools and CLIs that simplify consuming the Design System across web and mobile apps.
• Ensure cohesion and collaboration within the development team and identify opportunities for continuous process improvement.
• Participate in communities of practice and promote best practices related to Design Systems.
