Senior UX Engineer

About the Project

We are looking for a Senior UX Engineer to co-lead the internal design system, ShadCN-based UI libraries, and UI standards for a leading global financial institution.

• UX Governance (25%): Setting firmwide standards for tokens, variants, interaction states, layouts, and Figma libraries.
• Product Enablement (20%): Partnering with application teams to review workflows and improve UI consistency and usability.
• DevEx & Docs (20%): Writing clean documentation, building examples, and running code reviews to raise the front-end quality bar.

Must Haves (Non-Negotiables)

• 8+ years in front-end, UX engineering, or design-system engineering.
• Heavy experience managing large, comprehensive Figma design systems (tokens, variants, governance).
• Deep production experience with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, ShadCN UI, and Radix UI.
• Strong practical judgment of WCAG standards across complex workflows.
• Ability to enforce standards smoothly across engineering, design, and product teams.

Tech Stack

• Mandatory: React, TypeScript, Figma (Libraries & Tokens), ShadCN UI, Radix UI, Tailwind CSS.
• Tools: Storybook, Git, Design Tokens, Semantic HTML5/CSS.

Nice to Have

• Experience with capital markets, trading UIs, real-time grids, or financial charts.
• Modern tooling experience (monorepos, shared packages, Turborepo/Nx).
• Desktop interop experience (FDC3, OpenFin, Tauri, WebView2).
