Responsibilities

Since H-E-B Digital Technology's inception, we've been investing heavily in our customers' digital experience, reinventing how they find inspiration from food, how they make food decisions, and how they ultimately get food into their homes. This is an exciting time to join H-E-B Digital--we're using the best available technologies to deliver modern, engaging, reliable, and scalable experiences to meet the needs of our growing audience. If you enjoy taking on new challenges, working in a rapidly changing environment, learning new skills, and applying it all to solve large and impactful business problems, we want you as part of our team.

About the Role

The Design System team within H-E-B Digital has been focused on building out the foundations of a first-class Design System platform and ecosystem. This includes foundational, component, and design pattern documentation and Figma tooling. It includes flexible and customizable engineered components, libraries, examples, and documentation for web platforms. Now we’re hoping to expand into the mobile space to help all our partners who create amazing mobile experiences across H-E-B.

Your role will be to help us set solid foundations for this new challenge. You will be expected to connect with engineers and designers across H-E-B - to not only understand the challenges they face but also align with the greater Design System team in the planning and execution of the creation of a scalable and maintainable collection of tools and libraries for mobile development.

What you'll do (Design & Development)

• Build out native mobile component libraries, tooling, a world-class documentation experience, and more.
• Work with designers to further craft and scale our Design System (DS) across H-E-B.
• Create tools that drive standardization while enabling further scalability.
• Automate testing in unique ways to prevent regressions of visuals, performance, and functionality.
• Coach and mentor other engineers in engineering techniques, processes, and new technologies; enable others to succeed.
• Support the build and deployment pipeline and when necessary, both diagnose and solve production support issues.
• Identify, scope, and architect solutions for new features while considering technology alternatives and all impacts/tradeoffs.
• Work closely with developers and designers across the company to deliver world-class digital experiences.
• Learn new technologies, frameworks, and systems and share your knowledge with engineering teams across H-E-B.
• Diagnose/troubleshoot complex issues independently.
• Help grow Digital Engineering by driving the execution of organization-wide activities.
• Identify ways to improve codebases, solutions to complex problems, and effectively propose paths forward to drive outcomes.
• Create documentation and training related to technology stacks and standards.
• Operate with minimal direction to drive large-scale initiatives.

Do you have what it takes to succeed?

• Understand relevant modern, Jetpack Compose concepts, APIs, and platform feature sets.
• Experienced with at least one major mobile platform and its ecosystem.
• Familiarity with more than one major mobile platform and its ecosystem is a major plus.
• Familiar with modern mobile application concepts, challenges, and design patterns.
• Passionate about designing simple, flexible, and extensible APIs and tools.
• Interested in building, authoring, and curating robust documentation in a scalable and maintainable fashion.
• Knowledgeable of accessibility standards, implementation requirements, and context-specific utilization opportunities.
• Well-versed with Google’s Material Design Guidelines and not only know how to build experiences within those guidelines but also where they are/are not relevant.
• Prepared to architect quality best practices, ideal patterns & solutions, and other educational material that you can advocate for and mentor other engineers about.

Who You Are:

• You have an ownership mentality and a consistent track record of successful, high-quality results.
• You care about building pragmatic solutions that help scale systems and processes.
• You have an interest in curating great developer experiences.
• You enjoy learning development methodologies and processes.
• You have a solid knowledge of CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.
• You have experience implementing, and hold opinions about, design patterns/principles and what makes software maintainable and scalable.
• You have multiple years of experience in mobile development and have gone through the full lifecycle of releasing applications on the Play Store.
• You enjoy learning new technologies as they emerge.
