Sr. Swe, Frontend - Jb0072460

Moveworks Moveworks · Enterprise · Mountain View, CA · Machine Learning

This role focuses on building and owning a design system for a frontend engineering team. The goal is to improve productivity, user experience, and enable AI tools to generate code from design specifications. The engineer will architect, build, and maintain a reusable component library, establish design tokens, develop supporting backend APIs, govern the system, and optimize it for AI consumption. Collaboration with product design and leadership is key.

What you'd actually do

  1. Architect & Build: Design, build, and maintain a robust, scalable, and accessible library of reusable front-end components in React/TypeScript.
  2. Establish a "Token Economy": Implement and govern a comprehensive system of design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, etc.) that ensures consistency across all platforms (web, mobile).
  3. Full-Stack Integration: Develop backend APIs, services, and tooling necessary to support the design system, such as asset pipelines, documentation servers, and versioning management.
  4. Govern & Evangelize: Create crystal-clear documentation, contribution guidelines, and decision-making frameworks. Act as the primary advocate for the design system, driving adoption across all engineering, design, and product teams.
  5. Optimize for AI Consumption: Structure component APIs, props, and documentation with the explicit goal of making them easily understandable and usable by AI code generation tools. You will define the "language" our AI assistants speak.
