Seeq

6h•$144,000 - $170,000•Remote

About The Position

This is a frontend system engineering role focused on evolving Seeq’s design system and reusable application patterns for a complex enterprise product. You will shape not just UI primitives, but the broader frontend foundations that teams use to build clear, consistent, high-quality experiences across data-dense workflows. We are looking for an exceptional frontend engineer with strong product sense, visual judgment, and experience crafting production-grade design systems loved by users and developers alike.

Requirements

Exceptional frontend engineer with strong product sense, visual taste, and systems thinking.
Real experience creating, evolving, and shipping design systems or component libraries used in production applications.
Highly effective in React, Typescript, and TailwindCSS.
Ability to build frontend systems that are composable, accessible, robust, and ergonomic for other engineers.
Careful consideration of component APIs, styling architecture, responsiveness, usability, and long-term maintainability.
Experience in defining and building larger reusable blocks and application patterns that teams can use to create polished, consistent product surfaces.
Understanding of user workflows and ability to turn them into reusable structures.
Ability to zoom in to refine the details of a menu, table interaction, or form control, and zoom out to shape a dashboard layout, settings page, or other workflow-critical experience.
Strong written and verbal communication skills. Care about documentation and clear conventions as much as implementation quality. Ability to help others understand the rationale behind design decisions and create systems that teams can adopt effectively.
Strong ownership and agency. Find gaps, make good judgments about where to focus, and drive improvements through to completion.
Love writing about the design system as much as building it. Create documentation that is clear, useful, and engaging.
Experience building or evolving component libraries, pattern libraries, or design systems for complex applications is essential.
At least 10 years of professional experience in software development, with a solid record of designing and building sophisticated software systems.
Expert in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, TailwindCSS, and HTML primitives.
Demonstrate a strong understanding of software design principles, patterns, and best practices.
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with great attention to detail.
Familiar with agile development methodologies and tools, such as Scrum or Kanban.
Proven technical leadership skills, with the ability to guide, mentor, and collaborate with other engineers (at all levels of experience).
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
Familiar with design tools like Figma to help translate designs into production-ready code.
Ability to build responsive, scalable web experiences across devices and partner with designers to ensure visual consistency.
Ability to implement accessibility standards, ensuring keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and designing inclusive experiences such as high-contrast and reduced-motion preferences.

Responsibilities

Lead the evolution of Seeq’s frontend system, improving component quality, consistency, usability, and developer experience across the product.
Work closely with UX, Product, and Engineering teams to understand needs, set priorities, and craft reusable frontend foundations that raise the quality of the product.
Understand that great interface work starts with understanding how people actually work. Think about workflows, not just pixels, and design systems that support analysis, monitoring, triage, configuration, collaboration, and decision-making in complex, data-rich software.
Shape foundational components, higher-order blocks, page-level templates, and reusable application patterns that support real user workflows.
Consider how AI is changing product interfaces and how a frontend system should evolve to stay useful, elegant, and effective.
Leverage the best of the open-source ecosystem rather than building everything from scratch. Leverage systems like shadcn/ui and other modern component foundations with taste and judgment, extending and adapting them where needed to fit Seeq’s product, standards, and workflows.
Ensure our component system delivers excellent developer experience in an AI-assisted world. Create components, patterns, APIs, structure, naming, and documentation that are easy to understand, adopt, and use correctly.
