Job Title: Design Engineer
Job Summary:
System One is seeking a Design Engineer to join a product team focused on building AI-powered experiences. This role sits at the intersection of design and front-end engineering, responsible for executing (not just designing) high-quality, accessible UI in production. You’ll translate Figma designs into scalable React components and help deliver intuitive, performant experiences for AI-driven products, including conversational interfaces, knowledge systems, and membership experiences.
Responsibilities:
- Build production-ready front-end features using React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
- Translate Figma designs into code, ensuring high fidelity and clear interaction states
- Partner closely with designers, engineers, and product managers to deliver polished UI
- Implement and consume design systems (components, tokens, patterns)
- Develop UI for AI-powered products, including:
- Chat/conversational interfaces
- Streaming responses and loading states
- Knowledge base and agent-driven experiences
- Ensure WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility (semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, etc.)
- Identify and resolve gaps between design intent and technical implementation
- Contribute to code reviews, design reviews, and agile ceremonies
- Document interaction behaviors, accessibility considerations, and component usage
- Enhance internal and customer-facing web experiences, including membership flows
Required Qualifications: - 5+ years of front-end design + development experience
- Strong expertise in React and TypeScript (production-level work required)
- Proven ability to execute designs in code (not just create them)
- Expert-level Figma skills, including:
- Auto layout
- Layers
- Design-to-dev handoff
- Experience with:
- Figma MCP Server (must understand what MCP is)
- GitHub + GitHub Copilot
- Experience building AI-powered or conversational UI products
- Strong understanding of:
- UX/UI principles
- Responsive design
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)
- Familiarity with accessibility tools (axe, WAVE, screen readers like NVDA/JAWS/VoiceOver)
- Experience working with design systems in production
- Proficiency with modern tooling (e.g., Vite/Webpack, Jest, Testing Library, Playwright)
Preferred Qualifications - Experience with Storybook
- Background in AI product interfaces (LLM interactions, prompt rendering, etc.)
- Experience contributing to design system evolution
What We’re Looking for - A hands-on builder who can take designs all the way to production
- Someone with strong design acumen + engineering depth
- Experience working on AI-driven products and interfaces
- A collaborative partner who can bridge design and engineering effectively
- A portfolio showcasing end-to-end UI work (required)
