• Shape architectural decisions to ensure performance, maintainability, and scalability.
• Challenge and improve existing UI/UX patterns to enhance usability and developer experience.
• Document and showcase components using Storybook (or similar tools).
• Implement and maintain testing strategies for components (unit, integration, and end-to-end).
• Ensure accessibility compliance (WCAG/ARIA) in all components.
• Partner with multiple teams to promote adoption of the Design System across the company.
• Participate in code reviews, debugging, and architecture discussions to maintain technical excellence.

Requirements:

• Technical Expertise: 6+ years of hands-on experience in frontend development. Strong knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and React, along with state management solutions (Redux, MobX, etc.). Strong track record of building complex, reusable, and performant components. 
• Design System Knowledge: Deep understanding of design system principles including atomic design, design tokens, theming, responsive design, and accessibility (WCAG/ARIA).
• Architecture & Scalability: Proven experience contributing to architectural decisions in large-scale frontend projects, ensuring performance, maintainability, and scalability.
• Component Documentation: Hands-on experience with Storybook (or similar tools) for UI component documentation, previews, and development workflows.
• Testing: Strong knowledge of UI testing methodologies, including unit, component, and end-to-end testing (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Cypress), with the ability to integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaboration & Communication: Skilled at working closely with designers, products, and cross-functional teams to translate design concepts into high-quality, reusable components.
• Tooling Proficiency: Familiarity with modern frontend tooling such as Webpack/Vite, TypeScript, and CSS-in-JS solutions.
• Problem-Solving Mindset: Ability to challenge and improve existing UI/UX patterns while ensuring system-wide consistency.
• Best Practices Advocacy: Committed to promoting design system principles, coding standards, and accessibility guidelines across the organization.

Nice to Have:

• Experience integrating Design Systems with Figma or other design tools.
• Contributions to open-source component libraries or frameworks.
• Knowledge of design token pipelines and multi-brand theming strategies.
• Familiarity with Nx platform for monorepo management.
• Experience with microfrontend architecture.
