About the Role

We’re hiring a UI Engineer who lives at the intersection of design and engineering. You’ll be responsible for implementing, maintaining, and evolving our internal design system.

Contribute to component documentation via Storybook or equivalent tools
Push visual polish: micro-interactions, motion, layout finesse, and responsiveness
Maintain a high bar for UI detail, consistency, and design fidelity

You care deeply about design craft, but you write code for a living
You think in components, systems, and UX patterns
You enjoy building developer-friendly design systems
