[Hiring] Software Engineer, Design Systems @Rocket Money

Role Description

As a Design System Engineer, you’ll help grow the system that powers Rocket Money’s product experience. You’ll partner closely with designers and engineers to improve shared UI primitives, contribute to motion and interaction patterns, strengthen accessibility across our component library, and make our system easier to adopt through documentation, examples, and thoughtful APIs.

• Build accessible, reusable components.
• Contribute to our shared React Native and web component libraries with a focus on quality, usability, and accessibility from the start.
• Help evolve our design system foundations.
• Work on components, tokens, patterns, documentation, and tooling that make it easier for product teams to build consistent user experiences.
• Partner across design and engineering.
• Collaborate with designers, product engineers, and other stakeholders to understand needs, translate design intent into durable implementation, and help teams adopt system patterns successfully.
• Strengthen accessibility practices.
• Build components and patterns that support inclusive experiences, identify accessibility gaps, and help raise the bar for how Rocket Money teams think about accessibility in everyday product work.
• Contribute to motion and interaction quality.
• Bring curiosity and care to motion design, micro-interactions, transitions, and the small details that make product experiences feel intuitive and polished.
• Improve documentation and examples.
• Create clear Storybook examples, usage guidance, migration notes, and technical documentation that help engineers use the design system confidently.
• Support adoption at scale.
• Help product teams migrate to shared components and patterns, respond to feedback, and improve the system based on real usage across the codebase.
• Keep the foundation healthy.
• Write thoughtful tests, maintain implementation quality, and participate in code reviews that make our shared UI infrastructure more reliable over time.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally building user-facing product experiences with React, React Native, TypeScript, or similar technologies.
• Strong frontend fundamentals and care about building UI that is reliable, maintainable, and enjoyable for other engineers to use.
• Hands-on experience with accessibility or a demonstrated interest in making digital products more inclusive.
• Interest in design systems: component APIs, design tokens, documentation, adoption, consistency, and the balance between flexibility and standardization.
• Enjoy collaborating closely with designers and engineers, and can move comfortably between design intent, technical constraints, and pragmatic implementation.
• Curiosity about motion design and interaction details.
• Clear communication in writing and in code.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity, asking good questions, and breaking larger improvements into safe, incremental steps.
• Excited to grow in a mid-level role on a team that values craft, collaboration, accessibility, and high-leverage systems work.

Requirements

• Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system, component library, or shared frontend platform.
• Experience with React Native, mobile accessibility, animation libraries, or cross-platform UI patterns.
• Familiarity with Storybook, Figma, design tokens, visual regression testing, or frontend testing tools.
• Experience supporting migrations or adoption of shared components across a large codebase.
