Lead Design Technologist
Employment Info
JOB DETAILS
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience at the intersection of design and engineering — you’ve shipped production frontend code and built things designers actually use
- Deep proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, variables, and plugin development
- Strong working knowledge of React and modern JavaScript — you write code that others can build on and maintain
- Hands-on experience with design systems at scale: tokens, semantic foundations, component governance, and the tooling that makes systems stick
- A genuine curiosity about AI-assisted design and build workflows — you’re already experimenting, not just watching
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — you can hold a design perspective strongly in an engineering context, and vice versa
- Accessibility knowledge in practice (WCAG 2.1), with a track record of building inclusive experiences
Responsibilities
- Lead the migration to our next-generation component system (built on Tailwind and React), establishing a golden path for greenfield projects and enabling teams to incrementally refactor existing surfaces
- Build tooling and workflows that close the gap between Figma and production — enabling designers to take frontend changes further without always needing an engineer
- Prototype emerging interaction patterns and adaptive interface concepts (e.g. accessibility-driven UI personalisation, white-label theming), validating ideas before they hit the roadmap
- Help encode design taste into our AI-assisted build workflows — establishing the standards, tokens, and semantic foundations that prevent AI tooling from producing generic, low-quality UI
- Act as the connective tissue between design practice, unified systems, and engineering — aligning teams on tooling, standards, and the direction of frontend transformation
- Champion accessibility throughout the design and build process, raising the bar for inclusive, high-quality experiences at scale
- Share learnings across teams through documentation, demos, and hands-on support — accelerating the capability of designers and engineers alike
