You are a generalist who understands that a great UI component must be supported by performant and easy-to-use architecture.

**Responsibilities**

- Collaborate with designers and product managers to transform Figma prototypes into React/TypeScript components that are easy for product teams to adopt.
- Develop and maintain a scalable internal UI component library that adheres to company design guidelines.
- Own and operate AI agent workflows that speed up frontend platform delivery, including coding agents to automate tasks such as component scaffolding, design token generation, accessibility audits, and code migration.
- Optimize design system components for accessibility (WCAG), conduct annual accessibility evaluations, and assist teams with accessibility issues.
- Serve as a consulting engineer for product teams, helping architect complex features, debug performance issues, and provide best practice guidance.
- Build tools and utilities to improve developer experience and ensure deep integration of the Design System within product workflows.
- Monitor and optimize UI component performance, diagnosing bottlenecks and contributing to architectural improvements.
- Collaborate on frontend architecture improvements, particularly around microfrontend patterns (SingleSPA), ensuring smooth integration of the Design System.

**Qualifications**

- 5+ years of hands-on frontend development experience with strong skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Emotion, and modern CSS.
- Proven experience building and maintaining reusable UI component libraries or design systems.
- Expertise in web standards and accessibility best practices (WCAG 2.x).

- Hands-on experience designing and operating AI coding agents and agentic workflows in frontend or platform contexts.
- Experience writing automated tests for UI components using Jest, React Testing Library, Vitest, Playwright, or Cypress.

**Non-Technical Competencies**

- Strong ownership and autonomy; comfortable making independent technical decisions aligned with broader goals.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, acting as a bridge between design and engineering.
- Advocate for Design System adoption, championing consistent UI and high-quality code through reviews, knowledge sharing, and tutorials.
- Detail-oriented with a quality-driven mindset.

**Preferred Experience**

- Knowledge of microfrontend patterns and architecture (SingleSPA, Module Federation).
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Ansible).
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines such as CircleCI or Concourse.
