Responsibilities
Build high-fidelity, interactive prototypes in React and TypeScript to validate product directions and surface problems at the prototyping stage - before mistakes and overlooked details impact budgets, launch dates, or customer trust
Own the polish layer for executive, board, customer, and trade event demos across the portfolio. Make our products demonstrate as well as they perform - in the AI lab, on the trade floor, and in the board room
Establish and grow a shared component library in React and TypeScript. Set the visual, interaction, and accessibility standard for the portfolio
Partner directly with product owners, designers, and engineering leads across multiple product teams. Translate ambiguous product questions into working artifacts that sharpen them
Maintain Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance in everything that graduates from prototype into shared infrastructure
Use modern AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Figma Make, and successors) as a daily part of your practice — both to accelerate your own work and to model what AI-augmented design and frontend engineering looks like for the rest of the team
Navigate a matrixed environment where product teams own delivery and you own the cross-cutting craft layer
Qualification
Required
5+ years working at the intersection of design and frontend engineering. You design in Figma, you ship in React and TypeScript
Strong visual design sense. Your work holds up in front of customers, executives, and investors without a designer cleaning it up
Track record of horizontal or cross-team work. You have operated across multiple product teams or business units, not just inside one
React and TypeScript fluency sufficient to stand up polished prototypes in days. You use modern AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) as part of your workflow and can demonstrate how they've changed the speed and quality of your output
CSS depth: layout, motion, typography, design tokens
Accessibility competence in code: ARIA, keyboard interaction, focus management
Portfolio that demonstrates both interaction design and shipped code. We will look at both
Comfort with ambiguity and competing stakeholder demands. Some weeks are prototype work, some are demo polish for a customer meeting or board presentation, some are component library - often all three in the same week
Preferred
Prior work on a shipped component library or design system
Federal or DoD software experience. Familiarity with Section 508 conformance
Background in operator-facing tooling: SOC consoles, network management, command-and-control, or other dense data environments
Experience producing investor, board, customer, or trade event demos
Experience in PE-backed, growth-stage, or matrixed organizations where horizontal roles must earn influence rather than command it
