✦ AI skillsThis role asks for AI & agentic skills, exactly what we teach at Into Design SystemsWhat you'll do
- Research, build, and maintain accessible React components and their APIs on headless accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) primitives, including keyboard interaction, focus management, and theming.
- Work on library enhancements with a focus on consistent and intuitive component APIs and developer experience improvements; enable complex migrations with codemods and semantic versioning.
- Maintain shared infrastructure: Storybook, unit, interaction E2E and visual regression tests, accessibility gates, and a reliable release process.
- Drive adoption through high quality documentation, usage guidelines, migration guides, issue intake and triage (including open-source issues), and code review with product teams.
- Build an AI-assisted layer: Figma-to-code, component scaffolding, and guardrails to keep AI-generated UI on-token, on-pattern, and accessible.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of frontend engineering and experience building or maintaining a production design system used by multiple teams, including its migrations and breaking changes.
- Deep knowledge of React, TypeScript, semantic HTML, and CSS architecture at scale (SASS, CSS Modules, CSS variables, CSS-in-JS); experience with component API design (atomic design, composition, controlled and uncontrolled, polymorphic patterns) and headless primitives such as React Aria, Ark UI or Radix.
- Working knowledge of WCAG 2.x and WAI-ARIA; ability to implement and test keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen-reader behavior; experience with design-token architecture and tools (Style Dictionary, Terrazzo, DTCG, or equivalent) and Figma variables sync.
- System mindset: treat the design system as a product with internal customers, write clear documentation, review for consistency across the library, mentor through code review, and measure success by adoption; fluent in Figma and use AI coding tools (for example Claude Code or Cursor).
- Ideal backgrounds include design system or UI/UX platform teams at developer tools, B2B SaaS, or cloud platforms, or frontend platform roles with a shared UI library and multi-team consumers.
