THE TEAM

Are you passionate about crafting best-in-class, scalable user interfaces, mentoring others in development best practices, and transforming design and engineering outputs and processes to be more efficient and consistent? Eventbrite is seeking a Staff Design Engineer/Technical Lead to join the Marmalade Design System team. Marmalade is how we jam together at Eventbrite, providing Britelings with tools, infrastructure, and services that enable consistent, fully accessible user experiences across a range of products.

THE ROLE

Your role will be to help build and maintain our React and React Native design system libraries and our brand new design token architecture as we navigate large changes to our design language and brand heading into 2025 and beyond. Team members are also expected to participate in the overall Marmalade ecosystem to evolve both design and engineering by working directly with product teams. This includes doing outreach about Marmalade, discovering features and improvements, and validating system quality through visual and cross-platform testing. Overall, you will have direct ownership and play a key role in ensuring Marmalade is available for consumers in a timely, stable, and scalable way.

YOU WILL

  • Build cool things! Our team works on a diverse and dynamic toolset that solves real problems for designers and engineers, both within the Marmalade system and in partnership with Eventbrite’s product teams.
  • Have meaningful ownership. You’ll make important decisions about how we build and grow and have a strong say in what we build next. Your ability to find, assess, and develop new opportunities will be essential to our team.
  • Lead. Help drive vision and strategy for the design system by conducting research with our internal users on a quarterly basis to influence team roadmaps and project prioritization and coaching down, across and up the organization to encourage adoption of the system and continued investment.

THE SKILLSET

  • Keen appreciation for design excellence and quality of design implementation in code
  • Expertise in the concepts behind design systems and how they are being applied in modern product development, especially as this relates to web technologies

  • Deep experience with the following key technologies: React, React Native, Typescript, SCSS, CSS Modules, Style Dictionary, and Storybook
  • Solid knowledge of the Node.js ecosystem, especially practices for npm package development, versioning, and publishing
  • Experience implementing manual and/or automated testing for UI components to guarantee they meet design, localization and accessibility standards for a diverse, global audience (WCAG, a11Y, I18N, I10N)
  • Experience working on a fast-paced, multi-person design system with federated contributions and governance, with a focus on git and GitHub contribution workflow and in-depth peer code review
  • Experience working closely with designers, including a strong understanding of how to convert a design into code
  • Experience enhancing design and engineering collaboration through tools and processes, such as developing custom Figma plugins or similar solutions
  • Hands-on experience with build, test, and release methods; such as compilers, linting (Eslint), CI/CD tooling, software testing and validation techniques (Jest, React Testing Library, Chromatic, Rollup), and modern dev-ops practices
  • A pragmatic, collaborative, and open-minded outlook, and a high degree of comfort working in an environment with complex demands from multiple stakeholders.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
