Description

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

• DevEx & Docs (20%): Write clean documentation, build examples, and run code reviews to raise the front-end quality bar.

Requirements

• 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.

Benefits

• Opportunity to co-lead a design system and UI standards in a major financial, data-dense enterprise ecosystem.

• Hands-on role combining Figma architecture with production React/TypeScript engineering.
