About the role

Design Engineer role focused on building Confido's design system from scratch, including tokens, components, styles, and documentation to empower designers and developers. You will bridge design and engineering, prototype rapidly, and socialize the system across the team. Located in NYC (Chelsea) with relocation assistance.

Responsibilities

  • Build Confido's design system from the ground up—tokens, components, styles, and the documentation that makes them usable by designers and developers alike
  • Implement production-grade React/TS components with pixel-perfect execution and interactions that delight
  • Design in context: work across real product surfaces to understand how components relate, communicate, and hold up before abstracting them
  • Bridge design and engineering, translating intent into code and pushing what's possible in both directions
  • Rapidly prototype new concepts and patterns to validate ideas before full implementation
  • Socialize the design system across the team so it actually gets used and helps everyone ship faster

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of design engineering or frontend experience, ideally on a product or design system team
  • Equally comfortable in Figma and your code editor—you move fluidly between both
  • Strong frontend engineering skills: TypeScript, React, CSS, animations, and a component-driven mindset
  • A strong eye for design, with deep care for layout, motion, affordances, and visual polish
  • Experience building or meaningfully contributing to a design system: tokens, components, documentation, governance
  • You've shipped polished products and know what it takes to get from 90% to 100%
  • You can move fast—prototyping ideas in hours, not days
  • A systems mindset: you think in primitives and abstractions, not one-off solutions
  • Excited about AI and how it changes the way designers and developers work
