UX Engineer

• Designbase is the foundation that every product team at [REDACTED] builds on
• As a UX Engineer on the Designbase team, you'll join a tight-knit systems crew — pairing with our existing Design Engineer and Design Systems Lead Designer — to close the gap between what designers imagine and what engineers ship, at scale, across web and native app surfaces
• In one sprint, you're shipping a new form component and writing its usage documentation
• Next, you're working through a cross-platform pattern with your fellow Design Engineer and the iOS and Android teams, making sure it holds up on native before it ships
• Then you're in Figma with the Design Systems Lead, pressure-testing a new pattern before it gets built
• The team is small, and the leverage is enormous
• This role is for someone who thrives in a collaborative systems environment, is obsessed with quality at the component level, and gets genuinely excited about the infrastructure that makes everyone else's work better
• Build net-new components — Own the component build process from Figma review to coded component to documented storybook story. You catch edge cases designers didn't spec and flag them before they become debt
• Maintain and evolve existing components — Audit the library regularly. Deprecate the stale, upgrade the brittle, and keep the system consistent as the product grows
• Bridge Figma and code with zero drift — Be the source of truth on what's actually shipped. When a component in Figma and in Storybook diverge, you're the one who notices and fixes it
• Write the documentation that engineers actually use — Clear usage guidelines, prop tables, do/don't examples, and accessibility notes. Documentation is part of the component, not an afterthought
• Leverage AI as a force multiplier — You're not experimenting with AI for the first time. You use it concretely: scaffolding components, generating test coverage, drafting documentation, exploring pattern variants faster than manual iteration allows. You have a workflow, and you can show it
• Work closely with iOS and Android teams – You will be encouraged to learn/write in Swift or Kotlin to support our mobile components. It's important you work closely with the respective teams to ensure the components are built to the highest standards
• Advocate for accessibility — WCAG compliance isn't a checkbox. You bake it into component architecture and catch violations before they reach product teams
• Support cross-team adoption — Partner with product engineers across the org to unblock them on the design system. Review PRs, answer questions, and make the system easy to use correctly
• Own the system layer, not just the components — You think about the infrastructure that makes components work at scale: token architecture, the Figma-to-code pipeline, how tokens flow across web and native surfaces. You bring informed opinions on tooling and patterns, not just for what to build, but how the whole system holds together
