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.

The work

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.

You bring

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.

Bonus

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.
