Senior Software Engineer - Design

Core Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design process for features - from discovery and wireframing through high-fidelity Figma design and final implementation in React/TypeScript.
• Build and maintain a design system and component library, using shadcn/ui variants and a dedicated component package with documented permutation coverage.
• Write accessible, production-quality React components, ensuring correct ARIA, keyboard, and focus management.
• Collaborate with PMs and engineers during discovery to ensure designs are user-centered and technically feasible.
• Define and enforce visual and interaction design standards; audit and drive consistency across the product.
• Maintain Figma libraries, component documentation, and design-to-code handoff tooling.
• Partner with engineering to ensure design system components are implemented correctly and consistently across the codebase.
• Design for accessibility (WCAG compliance) and advocate for inclusive design practices.
• Develop and document UX patterns for complex interaction paradigms (multi-step workflows, AI-generated content, data-dense tables).
• Contribute to product strategy discussions and motion/microinteraction guidelines.
• Audit existing UI for consistency and drive improvements.
• Scope design work and make pragmatic tradeoffs between design quality and delivery velocity.
• Help establish and document our design principles and visual identity.
• Mentor team members on design thinking, UI best practices, and frontend implementation.
