Senior Frontend Engineer, Design System & Frontend Platform

This is a platform role for someone who helps many product teams, not just one. Their job is to spot repeated frontend problems across the organization, turn them into shared design system and platform solutions, and make sure teams actually adopt them. They improve consistency, accessibility, and developer efficiency by building reusable foundations, guiding migrations, and scaling improvements through automation.

Important: the position is available only under a standard contract of employment with 80% of tax deductible cost.

What you’ll do

• Lead design system efforts as part of the frontend platform, building a shared UI foundation that scales across product teams
• Discover recurring needs and friction across product teams, and turn them into reusable components, tooling, and workflows
• Define and maintain shared standards, documentation, contribution models, and governance for UI consistency, accessibility, and long-term maintainability
• Drive alignment, adoption, and migrations across teams, helping replace local patterns with shared solutions
• Build AI-assisted automations and agentic workflows that help scale platform improvements, reduce manual effort, and improve consistency across teams
