Set a high bar of quality across the product by owning the front-end. Identify and systematically reduce UI and UX debt, improve implementation patterns, and raise the overall level of craft across the application.
Embed within product teams to lead UI implementation for new features from concept through launch. Partner closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to ensure shipped experiences meet a high standard for quality, usability, and polish.
Own and evolve Telegraph, our design system. Define and maintain component APIs, composition patterns, interaction standards, and documentation that enable teams to build consistent, scalable interfaces efficiently.
Champion accessibility and performance as core product requirements. Ship experiences that are fast, resilient, and accessible by default through semantic implementation, keyboard support, focus management, testing, and ongoing performance optimization.
Partner closely with designers throughout the product development process. Work collaboratively in code and design tooling to iterate on concepts, refine interactions, and reduce the gap between design and implementation. Help evolve a workflow that replaces traditional handoffs with continuous collaboration.
Create leverage for the broader organization by translating intent into scalable implementation: reusable components, guidelines, sandboxes/playgrounds, and “how to use it” documentation that reduces drift.
Build the infrastructure and workflows that support AI-accelerated product development. Some areas we’re currently exploring include: automating QA and code review processes, connecting design and engineering tools, and setting up prototyping templates.
You're well-versed in React, JavaScript (TypeScript), HTML, and modern CSS
You work in a real engineering environment. You’re comfortable using Git, writing PRs, reviewing code, and contributing directly to a shared codebase
You can identify what's wrong (or right) with a design or component, articulate the specific reason why, and know how it could be improved
You prioritize speed, reusability, accessibility, cross-browser support, functional motion as you build, not as an afterthought
You've owned or made meaningful contributions to a React component design system (components in code, not just Figma libraries)
The Interview Process:
Stage 1: A 30-minute Google Meet call with a member of the People team
