[Hiring] Senior Frontend Engineer, Design System & Frontend Platform @SmartRecruiters Inc

Role Description

This is a platform role for someone who helps many product teams, not just one. Their job is to spot repeated frontend problems across the organization, turn them into shared design system and platform solutions, and make sure teams actually adopt them. They improve consistency, accessibility, and developer efficiency by building reusable foundations, guiding migrations, and scaling improvements through automation.

Important: the position is available only under a standard contract of employment with 80% of tax deductible cost.

What you’ll do

• Lead design system efforts as part of the frontend platform, building a shared UI foundation that scales across product teams.
• Discover recurring needs and friction across product teams, and turn them into reusable components, tooling, and workflows.
• Define and maintain shared standards, documentation, contribution models, and governance for UI consistency, accessibility, and long-term maintainability.
• Drive alignment, adoption, and migrations across teams, helping replace local patterns with shared solutions.
• Build AI-assisted automations and agentic workflows that help scale platform improvements, reduce manual effort, and improve consistency across teams.

Qualifications

• Experience building or evolving design systems, shared UI foundations, or frontend platforms used by multiple teams.
• Experience influencing frontend architecture, standards, or technical decisions beyond a single team.
• Strong hands-on experience building production frontend applications with modern web technologies.
• Strong collaboration skills and experience working closely with Engineering and Design partners.
• Senior-level experience, typically 5+ years in software engineering, with a track record of driving cross-team technical work.

Requirements

• Experience with Web Components, ideally Lit.
• Experience working across Angular environments.
• Experience with monorepos, microfrontends, or shared frontend tooling.
• Experience with inner source or platform engineering ways of working.
• Experience building AI-assisted automations or agentic workflows that improve platform work at scale.
