Our Media Domain Platforms team builds the platforms, systems, components, and tools that engineering teams across the Services organization depend on every day. We solve real-world, at-scale challenges, supporting diverse, cross-functional web products with heterogeneous tech stacks, while ensuring a consistently high-quality, cohesive user experience. We're looking for a senior web front-end engineer who will be a hands-on contributor and a technical leader in the evolution of our component libraries and design system implementations. You should be comfortable building software for other engineers, partnering closely with design to shape system direction, and driving adoption of best practices across a wide range of engineering teams. An ideal candidate has a passion for platforms, a strong design sensibility, and the technical depth and communication skills to influence how the broader org builds for the web. DESCRIPTION Day-to-day responsibilities include contributing directly to the development and maintenance of shared component libraries and design system implementations used across the Services organization.
