About the role
You live in the seam between design and engineering, turning high-craft concepts into interfaces that feel calm and fast. You'll own the design system that the whole product is built on, and the details — motion, spacing, accessibility — that make it feel inevitable.
What you'll do
- Build polished, accessible UI in React and Tailwind from design intent.
- Own and evolve the design system — tokens, primitives, and patterns.
- Prototype interactions and motion to pressure-test ideas quickly.
- Champion accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA across the product.
- Pair with product designers and engineers from concept to ship.
What we're looking for
- 4+ years building production interfaces with React.
- A portfolio of high-craft, accessible UI work.
- Fluency with modern CSS, Tailwind, and design tokens.
- Strong eye for typography, spacing, motion, and detail.
- Comfort working async in a written, remote culture.
Nice to have
- Experience building or maintaining a design system at scale.
- Working knowledge of OKLCH color and modern theming.
- Familiarity with Figma-to-code workflows.
