Design Systems Engineer
This platform extends beyond a traditional design system. It establishes a scalable foundation for UI development across multiple frameworks, while enabling AI-assisted and AI-generated interfaces that remain consistent, governed, and production-ready.
We are seeking a Design Systems Engineer to define and scale this foundation. You will architect how design tokens, components, and interaction models flow from design tools into production code-and how emerging AI systems integrate into that pipeline.
This role sits at the intersection of frontend engineering, design systems, and AI-enabled development. We are intentionally looking for candidates who can bridge these domains. Job Duties
- Architect and maintain the end-to-end design system pipeline (design → tokens → code → production)
- Build and scale design token infrastructure, including transformation, versioning, and distribution
- Develop integrations between design tools, codebases, and AI-assisted tooling
- Define and implement systems for AI-generated UI, ensuring outputs align with system standards and production requirements
- Integrate tools such as Claude, Figma AI capabilities, and code generation systems into workflows
- Build and maintain automation pipelines (CI/CD) for:
- Token synchronization
- Component publishing
- System validation and regression detection
- Enable multi-framework support (Angular, React, and others) through shared architecture
- Develop internal tooling (CLI, APIs, IDE integrations) to improve developer experience
- Establish mechanisms to ensure design, code, and AI outputs remain aligned over time
- Partner closely with designers and engineers to evolve the platform based on real product usage
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field-or equivalent practical experience
- 6-10+ years of experience in frontend engineering, design systems, or platform development
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks (React and/or Angular)
- Demonstrated experience building or contributing to design systems, token architectures, or UI platforms
- Experience working with scalable systems, APIs, or automation pipelines
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with Figma APIs, plugins, or design tooling ecosystems
- Experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, or system infrastructure
- Familiarity with multi-framework UI architecture
- Experience collaborating deeply with both design and engineering teams
- Experience using or integrating LLMs (e.g., Claude, GPT) into development or design workflows
- Understanding of how to structure systems for AI-assisted or AI-generated UI
- Ability to design guardrails, validation layers, and synchronization mechanisms for AI-generated outputs
- Hands-on experience or strong interest in emerging tools for generative design and development
What Sets You Apart
- Ability to operate comfortably across design and engineering domains
- Experience building design-to-code pipelines at scale
- Strong systems thinking and ability to connect tools, workflows, and platforms
- Curiosity and initiative in exploring new technologies and ways of working
