Job description
Quartz is Schneider Electric's design system, built to guarantee consistency, quality, and scalability across hundreds of digital products while accelerating product teams' delivery. The design system is organised into complementary teams: Quartz Core defines and maintains the foundations (tokens, components, governance, tooling), Quartz Website focuses on web-specific implementation and adoption at scale, and Quartz App adapts and extends the system for mobile and software applications.
Context
As the platform matures, the Quartz App team is growing to take on more ambitious challenges beyond Core components. The next phase focuses on domain-aware patterns and end-to-end flows tailored to technical software used in energy management and industrial automation, where density, criticality, and expert users are key constraints. This means developing and systemising advanced interactions such as monitoring dashboards, configuration flows, alarms, controls, and decision-support experiences.
About the Quartz App team
As a member of the Quartz App team, your mission is to ensure that the design system works just as well in applications as it does on the web, translating shared foundations into app-ready components, patterns, and guidelines. You work closely with Quartz Core to reuse and influence the foundations, and with product app teams to capture real constraints, validate solutions, and drive adoption. The team operates as a product team: clear outcomes, a roadmap aligned with platform OKRs, and tight collaboration with design, engineering, accessibility, and brand stakeholders.

What will be your role ?
As a Front-End Developer in the Design System Application Team, you will contribute to the development and maintenance of complex application-specific UI components and patterns that extend Schneider Electric's Core Design System. You'll work closely with designers, the lead developer, and product teams to build scalable, accessible, and reusable components tailored for complex enterprise applications. Your work will ensure that product teams can deliver cohesive, high-quality experiences aligned with system-wide design and development principles lead by our Core team.
You will be responsible for :
- Application-Specific Patterns & Components Development
- Develop and maintain modular, reusable, and well-documented front-end components using modern JavaScript frameworks.
- Ensure components meet accessibility (WCAG), performance, and design system standards.
- Collaborate actively with the Core Quartz Design system team to ensure all production is compliant with core principles and best practices.
- Collaboration and Implementation
- Work closely with designers and engineers to align the design system with aesthetic and functional needs.
- Participate in code reviews, testing, and continuous improvement of component libraries.
- Global Design System Integration
- Align with the Core Design System Team to ensure consistent implementation of design tokens, theming, and naming conventions, and to implement application-specific variations of core components.
- Contribute back improvements or new components when appropriate.
- Documentation & Support
- Document usage guidelines, technical constraints, and component behavior. Create training artefacts for our consumers.
- Help onboard product developers and provide technical support for implementation questions.
- Work closely with product teams to support integration of design system components in live applications.
- Engaging the design system community, evangelizing your mission, and fostering trust with product teams and stakeholders.
Requirements
- 5+ years of front-end development experience, ideally with component libraries or design systems.
- Proficiency in React, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte along with TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
- Proven experience with component-driven development, theming systems, and design tokens.
- Experience with accessibility (WCAG 2.1+), responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with designers, product managers, and developers.
- Experience using tools like Storybook, Git, Jira, and Figma in design-development workflows.
- Experience with high-traffic web applications and the full product lifecycle.
- Strong attention to design detail and consistency.
- Skilled in collaborating with cross-functional teams.
- You are familiar with an international environment and fluent in English.
Even Better:
- Worked in large-scale environments with complex projects.
- Experience with both B2B and domain-specific complex applications.
- Expertise in creating detailed documentation and presenting it to stakeholders.
- Active participation in design communities and staying updated with industry trends.
