We're in the process of rebuilding the engineering team, which means there's a real opportunity to establish standards and influence how things get done. It also means things are still taking shape, and you'd need to be comfortable with some ambiguity. If that sounds like the kind of environment you enjoy, we'd like to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Own the component library and keep it well-documented, consistent, and genuinely useful to the team
• Work with designers to establish and maintain design tokens, keeping Figma and code in sync
• Implement and uphold accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) across product surfaces
• Maintain Storybook as the go-to reference for UI patterns and components
• Translate design specs into polished, responsive implementations that feel considered
• Contribute to backend work in Python and FastAPI when features call for it
• Ship features end-to-end when the situation requires it
• Write tests for shared components and encourage good coverage habits
• Communicate clearly and thoroughly in writing—we're distributed and async-first, so this matters a lot

Qualifications We're looking for someone with four-plus years of experience building web applications with React or Vue (Composition API) and TypeScript, including hands-on experience building or maintaining a component library or design system. You should have practical accessibility experience—implementing WCAG in production, not just knowing the guidelines—and be comfortable collaborating closely with designers and working in Figma.

You should also be comfortable enough in Python and FastAPI to contribute backend features and debug across the stack when needed. We're not expecting backend expertise, but we need someone who doesn't stop at the API boundary.

Early-stage experience matters, since we need people who can navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities. And because we're distributed across time zones, strong written communication is essential—you'll be writing RFCs, PR descriptions, and async updates regularly.

Nice to have: experience with Storybook, Tailwind, Shadcn, or design token tooling; familiarity with trunk-based development and feature flags; exposure to AI-driven product surfaces.

What We Offer

You'll have genuine ownership of the design system and the autonomy to make decisions about how it evolves. There's room to grow into more senior roles as the team scales, but more immediately, you'll be part of a small, focused group—engineers, AI researchers, and legal experts—building something ambitious. We're remote-first across GMT to GMT+8, and we care more about outcomes than hours. If you're curious about working at the intersection of frontend craft and LLM-driven tooling, it's an interesting time to join.
