We’re seeking a Lead UI/UX Engineer, Design Systems who combines product thinking, visual design excellence, and strong front-end engineering capabilities.

This role merges product UI engineering with design system leadership.

You’ll own and evolve the design system powering multiple products and editorial experiences. Responsibilities include defining component architecture, guiding adoption across teams, establishing governance, and ensuring the system scales with product needs while serving both technical and non-technical users.

This role demands someone who can distill complex requirements into elegant, simple solutions—translating intricate business logic, data relationships, and technical constraints into intuitive interfaces—while partnering with Product to influence roadmap decisions and prioritize work based on impact.

Portfolio with shipped production work required.
