Design System Engineer managing PermitFlow's component library and collaborating with product designers on accessibility and quality standards. Building and maintaining components that drive product development and consistency.
Responsibilities
Own the day-to-day development and evolution of PermitFlow's React component library
Build and maintain components across all levels of the Atomic Design hierarchy — atoms, molecules, organisms, and templates — ensuring each is robust, accessible, and documented in Storybook
Define and enforce component standards: API contracts, design token usage, prop interfaces, and variant patterns
Review PRs into the component library, maintaining quality bar and ensuring consistency
Partner with designers using Figma to translate design specs into production-grade components with fidelity
Manage the library's roadmap, balancing new component development with migration work as we bring the broader application into alignment
Work with Chromatic for visual regression testing and manage the Storybook instance as the source of truth for component documentation
Lead the Design Systems Guild — a cross-team working group of engineering champions — sharing updates, aligning on patterns, and reviewing proposals before implementation
Reduce overall frontend complexity: our migration work has already yielded thousands of lines of consolidation, and there's more to go
Requirements
Strong React and TypeScript fundamentals — you think in components, not just in pages
Demonstrated experience building and maintaining a production design system or component library, not just consuming one — a portfolio, GitHub profile, or Storybook instance you can share carries more weight than a resume line
A sharp eye for visual and interaction design — you notice when something is off and can articulate why clearly
Experience working in close partnership with product designers: giving and receiving feedback on specs, negotiating tradeoffs, and aligning on the right abstraction before something gets built
Familiarity with design tooling (Figma) and developer experience tooling (Storybook, Chromatic, or equivalents)
Strong written communication — you'll be setting standards that product engineers read and follow, and documenting decisions that outlast you
Experience with Tailwind CSS is a strong plus
Experience with ShadCN or Radix UI primitives is a strong plus
Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) is a plus
Benefits
Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
Flexible PTO and paid family leave
Home office & equipment stipend
Hybrid NYC office culture (3 days in-office/week) with direct access to leadership
