About The Position

As a Senior Design Systems Engineer, you will spend your days partnering closely with design, product, and engineering teams to define, build, and scale Shipt’s unified design system across both web and mobile platforms using React and React Native. You will drive system adoption and reduce technical fragmentation by autonomously engineering scalable, high-performance UI components that consolidate legacy patterns into a cohesive architecture. Ultimately, you are responsible for empowering developer velocity across multiple domains, eliminating code duplication, and ensuring consistently high-quality, accessible experiences for every Shipt user.

Requirements

5+ years of frontend engineering experience autonomously leading the technical architecture and hands-on execution of high-quality web or mobile applications.
Demonstrated success building and scaling a unified design system adopted by multiple engineering teams, having previously led projects that established clear architectural standards, component APIs, and theming.
Proven track record of shipping cross-platform UI components by actively utilizing React or React Native, alongside deep technical proficiency in TypeScript and modern frontend tooling like Storybook and Figma.
Experience consolidating fragmented legacy UI patterns into scalable systems, explicitly utilizing performance monitoring tools (like Datadog RUM) and data layer protocols (like GraphQL) to ensure high-performance delivery.
A history of driving cross-functional alignment by partnering seamlessly with Design, Product, and Engineering stakeholders to translate concepts into production code, while actively mentoring junior engineers on UI best practices and accessibility standards.
