  • Experience working on a fast-paced, multi-person design system with federated contributions and governance, with a focus on git and GitHub contribution workflow and in-depth peer code review
  • Experience working closely with designers, including a strong understanding of how to convert a design into code
  • Experience enhancing design and engineering collaboration through tools and processes, such as developing custom Figma plugins or similar solutions
  • Hands-on experience with build, test, and release methods; such as compilers, linting (Eslint), CI/CD tooling, software testing and validation techniques (Jest, React Testing Library, Chromatic, Rollup), and modern dev-ops practices
