- 3–5 Years of relevant work experience with a proven track record of bridging design assets and front-end code
- Strong working knowledge of development delivery automation and design-to-code integrations; actively reviews coded front-end components to ensure 1:1 visual parity with design assets
- Ability to operate with minimal oversight as a direct technical partner to Development, working alongside software developers to guide UI implementation instead of relying on traditional design deliverables.
- Advanced proficiency in modern design collaboration platforms and design-to-code automation integrations
- Proficiency in component-based front-end frameworks, UI component development environments, and agile project management tools
- Ability to look 1–2 quarters ahead to anticipate what coded UI components will need to be built, refactored, or safely adapted to prevent technical debt
- Experience conducting usability testing to ensure new patterns are intuitive for teams to implement
- Ability to use AI to accelerate development productivity by refining technical prompts, synthesizing complex UI logic, and integrating AI-assisted coding tools into workflows
- Bachelor’s degree in Interaction Design, HCI, Computer Science, or equivalent experience (preferred but not required)
- Experience configuring design token management systems or automated data pipelines that push assets directly from design platforms to code repositories
- Background in optimizing the developer experience (DX) through the creation of interactive component sandboxes or developer playgrounds
- Experience managing complex system deprecation strategies (sunsetting old components across a live product ecosystem without breaking workflows)
- Architect, scale, and govern the design systems to ensure a clear, 1:1 translation between design assets and the front-end codebase, eliminating technical and UI debt.
- Build systems that empower everyone (e.g., UX, product management, and development) to make sound design decisions.
- Own and evolve the visual component library, ensuring strict architectural parity between design variants and development frameworks.
- Govern the creation of new patterns by actively reviewing and approving/rejecting custom UI requests to prevent system bloat.
- Manage and scale the centralized design system documentation so it serves as the primary authority for everyone. Structure this documentation to ensure adherence to design standards without always requiring intensive UI work.
