Ambrook - Design Systems Engineer
Requirements
• What you'll own • The design system: Build and evolve our component library, interaction patterns, and design tokens as production frontend infrastructure that holds up across web and mobile • Migrations and adoption: Drive the system into the product. Land breaking changes, deprecate old patterns, and do the human work of getting the whole team to actually build on it • Frontend performance: Treat bundle size, render performance, and accessibility as features, and own the tooling and guardrails that keep them from regressing • Agentic development with craft: Write the codemods, migration scripts, and agent workflows that let the whole team move onto the system faster, without sacrificing the quality of what ships • What we look for • You bring deep frontend engineering chops: clean, performant TypeScript and React, with a solid grasp of data structures, async programming, and modern build and tooling workflows • You've owned a design system or shared component library in production, and you know the hard parts: versioning, breaking changes, migrations at scale, and convincing other engineers to build on your work • You treat frontend performance and accessibility as engineering problems. You can profile a slow render, cut a bundle down, and put guardrails in place to keep the wins • You use coding agents as part of how you work, pointing them at migrations and adoption to move faster across a large codebase • You have strong enough design instincts to spot when something feels off in a UI and hold a high bar, even if you spend more time in the codebase than in Figma • You're curious about and empathetic to the domain we operate in • Your past work, whether shipped systems, tooling, open source, or a portfolio, tells a clear story of your engineering skills and your craft
