About the Position
We're looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to take a lead role in building and evolving our Shared Design Library - a core set of reusable React components, design tokens, and UX patterns that power our applications. This role requires someone highly technical and self-driven, who excels at communication and collaboration.
Responsibilities
- Lead the implementation of a Shared Design Library with reusable React components, design tokens, and UX patterns used across applications
- Define the foundations of the library: naming conventions, versioning strategy, theming, accessibility standards (WCAG), and contribution guidelines
- Set up and maintain component documentation with usage guidelines and live examples
- Establish governance for proposing, reviewing, deprecating, and evolving components in partnership with UI/UX Designers and QA
- Define and implement a testing framework/strategy: component unit tests, visual regression, accessibility checks, and integration tests
- Collaborate with Product Designers to translate guidelines into tokenized, testable components, ensuring consistency across apps
- Integrate the library into CI/CD pipelines with automated builds, tests, visual regression, and versioned releases
- Write clean, maintainable, scalable code in TypeScript and React, building responsive, reliable, and secure web applications
- Own feature development from idea to deployment, aligning closely with product, design, backend, QA, and BA teams
- Review code, challenge assumptions, and help raise the technical bar across the team
- Mentor less experienced engineers and support team growth through technical guidance
- Help shape frontend architecture and long-term decisions (modularity, patterns, performance)
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional experience in frontend development
- Expertise in TypeScript, modern JavaScript, and the React ecosystem
- Experience designing or contributing to a design system or shared component library
- Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, responsive design, web security, performance, and accessibility best practices
- Experience designing or contributing to scalable frontend architectures
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, iterative, CI/CD environment
- Proficient with Git, npm/yarn, and modern frontend tooling
- Strong communication skills, valuing direct feedback and open dialogue
- Supportive team player who actively shares knowledge and mentors colleagues
- Able to navigate ambiguity and adapt to changing priorities

- Flexibility & Balance: Flexible working hours and work-life balance
- Recognition & Growth: Opportunities for career advancement
- Hybrid Workplace: Modern workspaces and a remote-friendly culture
