- Translate Figma designs into production-ready code in collaboration with designers.
- Contribute to design system documentation, coding standards, and best practices.
- Integrate components into CI/CD pipelines and support testing (unit, visual regression, accessibility) with engineering teams.
- Explore and integrate AI capabilities into design system workflows for streamlined component generation, token mapping, and automated documentation.
- Make the design system consumable by AI coding tools by publishing components, tokens, and guidelines in machine-readable formats using Storybook.
Requirements
- A bachelor's degree in a technical or design-related field, or equivalent work experience.
- 5+ years of experience as a professional Design Engineer or Design Technologist.
