Frontend Design Systems Engineer

This is a frontend system engineering role focused on evolving Seeq’s design system and reusable application patterns for a complex enterprise product. You will shape not just UI primitives, but the broader frontend foundations that teams use to build clear, consistent, high-quality experiences across data-dense workflows.

We are looking for an exceptional frontend engineer with strong product sense, visual judgment, and experience crafting production-grade design systems loved by users and developers alike.

What You Will Do

You will lead the evolution of Seeq’s frontend system, improving component quality, consistency, usability, and developer experience across the product.

You will work closely with our UX, Product, and Engineering teams to understand needs, set priorities, and craft reusable frontend foundations that raise the quality of the product.

You understand that great interface work starts with understanding how people actually work. You think about workflows, not just pixels, and you know how to design systems that support analysis, monitoring, triage, configuration, collaboration, and decision-making in complex, data-rich software.

This role goes beyond small UI primitives. You will help shape foundational components, higher-order blocks, page-level templates, and reusable application patterns that support real user workflows.

You are thoughtful about how AI is changing product interfaces and how a frontend system should evolve to stay useful, elegant, and effective.

You know how to leverage the best of the open-source ecosystem rather than building everything from scratch. You can leverage systems like shadcn/ui and other modern component foundations with taste and judgment, extending and adapting them where needed to fit Seeq’s product, standards, and workflows.

You will also help ensure our component system delivers excellent developer experience in an AI-assisted world. You will create components, patterns, APIs, structure, naming, and documentation that are easy to understand, adopt, and use correctly.

What We’re Looking For

You are an exceptional frontend engineer with strong product sense, visual taste, and systems thinking. You have real experience creating, evolving, and shipping design systems or component libraries used in production applications.

You are highly effective in React, Typescript, and TailwindCSS. You know how to build frontend systems that are composable, accessible, robust, and ergonomic for other engineers. You think carefully about component APIs, styling architecture, responsiveness, usability, and long-term maintainability.

You know that a strong design system does not stop at low-level components. You are experienced in defining and building larger reusable blocks and application patterns that teams can use to create polished, consistent product surfaces.

You understand user workflows and can turn them into reusable structures. You can zoom in to refine the details of a menu, table interaction, or form control, and zoom out to shape a dashboard layout, settings page, or other workflow-critical experience.

You have strong written and verbal communication skills. You care about documentation and clear conventions as much as implementation quality. You can help others understand the rationale behind design decisions and create systems that teams can adopt effectively.

You bring strong ownership and agency. You do not wait to be told where the gaps are. You find them, make good judgments about where to focus, and drive improvements through to completion.

You love writing about the design system as much as you love building it. You create documentation that is clear, useful, and engaging.

Requirements

• Experience building or evolving component libraries, pattern libraries, or design systems for complex applications is essential.
• Have at least 10 years of professional experience in software development, with a solid record of designing and building sophisticated software systems

• Demonstrate a strong understanding of software design principles, patterns, and best practices

• Be familiar with agile development methodologies and tools, such as Scrum or Kanban
• Show proven technical leadership skills, with the ability to guide, mentor, and collaborate with other engineers (at all levels of experience)
• Demonstrate excellent communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment
• Familiar with design tools like Figma to help translate designs into production-ready code
• Ability to build responsive, scalable web experiences across devices and partner with designers to ensure visual consistency
• Ability to implement accessibility standards, ensuring keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and designing inclusive experiences such as high-contrast and reduced-motion preferences.
