- Contribute to and evolve our design system, component library, and frontend patterns.
- Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ambiguous ideas into simple, high-quality experiences.
- Bring strong craft to the details: accessibility, performance, reliability, responsive behavior, and edge cases.
- Partner with other engineers, and when needed contribute across the stack to bring features fully across the finish line.
What You Bring

- Strong experience with TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, and modern frontend development.
- Experience contributing to or building a design system, component library, or reusable frontend patterns.
- A track record of owning product work end to end with limited handholding.
- Strong product intuition and the ability to make thoughtful UX decisions independently.
- Care for craft beyond the first 80%, including performance, accessibility, reliability, and visual polish.
- A systems-first mindset and interest in building durable patterns that help the whole team move faster.
Bonus Points

- Comfort using design tools like Figma, Paper, or similar tools to explore and communicate ideas.
- Full-stack capability, especially enough backend fluency to independently unblock product work.
