About The Position

Verity is hiring a founding Senior Manager, Design Systems Engineer to build Verity Canvas, our code-canonical design system for healthcare software. This role sits at the center of Figma, React, accessibility, and production code. You will keep our real codebase and Figma library aligned, turning design decisions into type-safe, accessible components that product teams can trust. As we migrate from Angular to React, you will help build the system that makes our next generation of UI consistent, scalable, and meaningful for the people who rely on it.

Requirements

• Minimum 5+ years of experience building front-end systems, design systems, or component libraries with React and TypeScript.
• Experience designing typed component APIs and shipping a design system as a published package used by other teams.
• Hands-on experience with Figma Dev Mode, variables, and Code Connect, or similar design-to-code workflows.
• Experience building design token pipelines using DTCG formats and tools such as Style Dictionary or Tokens Studio.
• Strong accessibility expertise, including ARIA, keyboard interaction, focus management, and automated checks such as axe.
• Experience with Storybook, visual regression testing, CI/CD, modern Git workflows, and package management in monorepos.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Base UI, Radix, React Aria, Ariakit, or similar headless primitive libraries.
• Experience with pnpm workspaces, Turborepo, Changesets, semver, API Extractor, or type-aware codemods.
• Experience with AI-native development workflows, MCP tooling, coding agents, registries, or agent evaluation harnesses.
• Experience pushing tokens from code into Figma or working with the Figma Variables REST API.
• Experience in healthcare, regulated environments, or products where accessibility and precision are essential.

Responsibilities

• Own the @verity/ui component library as a versioned package built on accessible headless primitives and styled through design tokens.
• Build and maintain the @verity/tokens pipeline from DTCG design tokens through Style Dictionary, CSS custom properties, and typed output.
• Create a code-to-Figma token workflow using Figma Variables, staging files, and review practices that prevent silent design drift.
• Author Code Connect mappings so Figma Dev Mode and coding agents generate real @verity/ui components instead of generic markup.
• Define the AI-ready system surface, including MCP context, component manifests, registries, repo guidance, and agent evaluation workflows.
• Strengthen CI quality gates for accessibility, visual regression, app-level regression, linting, and code ownership.
• Manage release discipline through Changesets, semantic versioning, API contract checks, and migration-ready codemods.
• Partner with designers and product teams on Figma conventions, adoption, governance, promotion, and deprecation workflows.
