About the Role

Deputy is seeking a Design Technologist to shape and build our design system with a focus on AI-native workflows. This role bridges design and engineering, translating design into code and enabling AI to participate in the process. You will also focus on designer enablement, creating low-friction workflows, templates, and coaching to empower designers as confident "design-and-build" prototypers. You will define the structure of the design system to power AI-driven design-to-code workflows, ensuring efficient generation, validation, and maintenance of designs in code.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain production-ready UI components that accurately reflect design intent.
Use AI tools to accelerate implementation, iteration, and refinement of components.
Validate AI-generated outputs for quality, accessibility, and consistency.
Shape the design system (tokens, components, patterns) to be machine-readable and AI-friendly.
Contribute to workflows enabling AI-driven design-to-code generation.
Ensure components include the metadata AI needs for code generation and validation.
Identify opportunities for AI to reduce manual effort in component creation and maintenance.
Act as a core member of the design team, participating in critiques and explorations.
Provide technical perspective during design to ensure scalability and implementability.
Help designers understand how their work can better support AI-driven development.
Improve integration between design tools (e.g., Figma) and engineering outputs.
Use AI to generate documentation, specs, and component usage guidelines.
Explore AI-assisted approaches to testing (visual regression, accessibility) and validation.
Prototype and experiment with new AI-driven workflows for design systems.
Ensure high fidelity between design and implementation.
Maintain accessibility and inclusive design standards across components.
Contribute to shared standards that improve system consistency across design and code.
Create documentation and examples for designers and engineers.
Support teams in effectively using the design system.
Advocate for workflows that improve speed without compromising quality.

Requirements

Approximately 4–6 years of experience in front-end engineering, design engineering, or design systems.
Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript.
Experience building UI components in modern frameworks (Vue, React, etc.).
Strong design sensibility and attention to detail (visual and interaction).
Experience working closely with design tools (e.g., Figma, tokens, variants).
Experience or strong interest in AI-assisted design and development workflows.
Understanding of accessibility and inclusive design practices.
Familiarity with design tokens and system architecture across design and code.
Ability to operate fluently between design and engineering contexts.
