Design Technologist

Role

We're looking for an exceptional Design Technologist for our UX Platform Team within our Core Platform Engineering team.

As a Design Technologist, you'll bridge the gap between design and engineering, turning concepts into production-ready interfaces while building and evolving our design system. You'll develop reusable component libraries and ensure our products are accessible, performant, and delightful to use. Your work will directly impact both internal teams and customer-facing products.

Please note: This is an engineering role, not a design role. If you're a design technologist, full-stack engineer, or frontend engineer with exceptional design system skills and a strong design sensibility, we're looking for you!

**This role is fully remote within the US**

What You’ll Do

Develop & Maintain Our Design System

    • Build and evolve our component library using modern tools and frameworks. You'll create reusable, accessible components with comprehensive documentation that empowers both designers and developers.

Champion Accessibility & Performance

    • Ensure every interface meets WCAG standards and performs optimally. You'll be the advocate for inclusive design and technical excellence across our products.

Connect Design and Engineering

    • Partner with product, design, and engineering stakeholders to understand real-world needs and shape the right solutions. You'll operate autonomously but never in isolation, serving as the critical connector between design and development teams.

Leverage Modern Tooling

    • Use AI-assisted development tools and modern frameworks to ship faster without compromising quality. You'll help establish best practices for using these tools effectively across the team.

What You Bring

  • Deep experience building complex, interactive UIs using React (required) and familiarity with modern CSS frameworks like Tailwind CSS
  • Proven track record building and maintaining component libraries and working with design systems
  • Comfortable translating specifications into implementations that encapsulates — and expands upon — design intent
  • Strong understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG) and practical experience implementing accessible interfaces
  • Proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js
  • Experience with state management patterns and reactive paradigms (e.g., refs, signals, RxJS)
  • Excellent technical writing skills

Nice To Haves

  • Experience with other frontend frameworks (Vue, Svelte, Solid, Astro, Qwik)
  • Familiarity with: shadcn/ui or similar modern component libraries; React Flow or similar workflow builder UI
  • Experience collaborating with Figma
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0, etc.)
  • Background in visual design, formal design training or similar experience cultivating a strong visual design sense
  • Experience working at early-stage startups or launching new systems from scratch
  • Contributions to open-source design systems or component libraries

What Sets You Apart:

  • You balance product intuition with a strong technical foundation
  • You default to clarity and modularity, especially when designing for unknowns
  • You value peer collaboration and open sharing of technical learnings
  • You care just as much about why you're building something as how you build it
  • You see design systems as living products that need iteration and care

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

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.
