Kaizen is winning more deals than ever, and every engagement runs on Taproot, our modular platform and a library of reusable modules with the Canopy design system at its core. Blacksmith, our AI configuration system, reads a government program's requirements and assembles a working application from Taproot modules, so a new engagement starts from a running product in days instead of a blank repo.

Platform-level patterns are the starting point for every program we build. This role owns the Canopy design system and the shared platform: reusable modules and components, and the shared surfaces and patterns every delivery team builds on. It's one of the most important roles on the team, and it answers a simple question: can our platform scale at the rate we're winning work, and stay good while it does?

Own the Canopy Design System end to end: components, tokens, documentation and guidelines, built so spacing, type, states, density and accessibility are right at the source.

Design every module and shared product surface in the Taproot platform, from scoping through ship.

Work with project teams across delivery engagements to learn what the platform needs, and decide what becomes a shared pattern and what stays a one-off.

Set the platform design roadmap and the processes teams use to request, adopt and contribute to the system.

Roll out system changes across live products without breaking what has already shipped to users.

Pair with the Platform engineers on feature build outs, docs and guidelines, and ship components yourself.

Make every delivery team faster as the system grows, so users get services that work the first time.

What You'll Bring

Deep UI craft at the component level. You sweat spacing, type, states, density and accessible behavior (WCAG, Section 508), because every decision you make ships many times over.

Experience evolving a design system across a growing suite of products, including rolling out changes without breaking live surfaces.
