Join us as a Design Engineer and help shape Aurora, our design system, across both design and code. You’ll build and evolve reusable UI components, craft polished interactions, and create tooling that makes design and development workflows faster and more consistent. Working closely with designers and engineers, you’ll bridge Figma and front-end implementation while driving accessibility, quality, and design system adoption across teams.

Main Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and evolve Aurora component kits: ReactKit, AstroKit, and AppKit - going deep on whichever kit the roadmap needs while keeping component contracts consistent across all of them.

• Contribute to Aurora's visual and interaction language: component anatomy, variants, states, interaction behavior, and motion, in Figma and in code, often moving between the two in the same working session.

• Build internal design tooling: Figma plugins, CLI utilities, CI checks, prototyping tools and other ai-native workflows.

• Evangelize & Innovate: Champion best practices and drive the adoption of design automation, tooling (like Storybook), and testing strategies within the design engineering context.

• Enable Teams: Guide, train, and support product development teams in effectively adopting and utilizing the Aurora design system.

• Bridge Design & Code: Actively participate in the design process, providing technical input, prototyping interactions, and translating design concepts into polished, interactive, and performant UI components (the "front-of-the-frontend").

• Craft Interactions: Implement engaging animations and micro-interactions to enhance user experience, especially for key user-facing elements.

• Ensure Accessibility: Build and maintain accessible components, ensuring compliance with relevant standards (e.g., WCAG AA) to create inclusive experiences.

• Technical Ownership: Own the technical implementation and architecture of the design system components, ensuring high standards for code quality, performance, and design fidelity.
  

Core Requirements

• Design System Expertise: Proven experience building, maintaining, and scaling design systems. Deep understanding of design system principles, component architecture, and token strategies.

• Design Craft: Strong product design fundamentals, visual hierarchy, typography, spacing, and interaction design. Able to make sound design decisions independently and contribute to design, not just implement it.

• Front-End Proficiency: Strong command of Javascript, modern CSS (including TailwindCSS), and semantic HTML. Demonstrated ability to become productive in an unfamiliar stack quickly.

• Figma fluency: variables, component architecture, accurate design-to-code translation; Plugin API or MCP experience is a strong signal.

• Tooling: Advanced knowledge and practical experience with Storybook.js for component development, documentation, and testing.

• Collaboration Skills: Excellent ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines (design, engineering, product) and drive adoption of best practices.

• Design Tool Familiarity: Experience working with design tools like Figma, translating designs accurately into code.
