About The Position

Luxury Presence is building the AI growth platform for real estate. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other top investors, we're a Series C company on track to hit $100M in annual recurring revenue in the next six months. More than 87,000 real estate professionals, including over 30% of the WSJ Real Trends top 100 agents in the United States, use us to run and grow their business. This role is about multiplying. You'll work alongside a design engineer already on the team, and together you'll own the bridge between design intent and shipped experience across our core product. You'll build and evolve the design system in code, raise the quality bar for UI that ships, and create the tooling and workflows that help the entire design and engineering org move faster. When you see something slow or broken in how we work, you'll redesign it. When the design system has gaps, you'll fill them with production-ready components. When there's a better way to prototype, test, or ship, you'll find it and champion it. This role reports into Design, not Engineering. That's intentional. We believe the person responsible for UI quality, interaction polish, and design system integrity should be embedded in the team that sets the craft bar, not downstream from it. You'll have the opportunity to help shape what design engineering becomes at Luxury Presence as the function grows.

Requirements

6+ years building production-ready frontend code in complex, component-driven applications
Deep expertise in TypeScript, React, and modern CSS (we use Tailwind), with strong opinions about component architecture, performance, and maintainability
A portfolio or body of work that demonstrates both technical depth and design sensibility.
Proven experience building and maintaining design systems in production, not just in Figma.
Technical fluency with AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI-assisted development tools.
Familiarity with MCPs and how tools like Figma, Figma Console, and Notion connect into AI-assisted workflows.
Ability to operate with high ownership and low ego.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with tools like Base UI, Storybook, and Figma Code Connect is a plus.
Exposure to microfrontend architectures, Vite, and composition APIs is a bonus.
A track record of building internal tools, developer experience improvements, or workflow automation that made teams more effective.
Dabbler and experimenter with AI tools, pushing their limits, and sharing what you learn.

Responsibilities

Own the integrity of the design system across both Figma and code.
Build and evolve the design system in code, including React components, tokens, and patterns.
Ensure the design system library in Figma stays in sync with production.
Make design-level tweaks as the system evolves and partner with product designers to evolve the system over time.
Close the gap between design specs and production reality.
Be the person who cares about the last 10% of UI quality: transitions, micro-interactions, responsive behavior, loading states, edge case UI, accessibility.
Ensure shipped UI meets the quality bar.
Look at how the design and engineering teams collaborate, prototype, and ship, and build tools and processes that make it better.
Build internal tooling, prototyping workflows, component documentation, and dev environment improvements.
Ship production-ready code for components in the design system, UI improvements in the product, or internal tooling.
