This role sits at the center of Figma, React, accessibility, and production code. You will keep our real codebase and Figma library aligned, turning design decisions into type-safe, accessible components that product teams can trust. As we migrate from Angular to React, you will help build the system that makes our next generation of UI consistent, scalable, and meaningful for the people who rely on it. Responsibilities * Own the @verity/ui component library as a versioned package built on accessible headless primitives and styled through design tokens. * Build and maintain the @verity/tokens pipeline from DTCG design tokens through Style Dictionary, CSS custom properties, and typed output. * Create a code-to-Figma token workflow using Figma Variables, staging files, and review practices that prevent silent design drift. * Author Code Connect mappings so Figma Dev Mode and coding agents generate real @verity/ui components instead of generic markup. * Define the AI-ready system surface, including MCP context, component manifests, registries, repo guidance, and agent evaluation workflows. * Strengthen CI quality gates for accessibility, visual regression, app-level regression, linting, and code ownership. * Manage release discipline through Changesets, semantic versioning, API contract checks, and migration-ready codemods. * Partner with designers and product teams on Figma conventions, adoption, governance, promotion, and deprecation workflows. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [The Pragmatic Architect: Balancing Necessity vs. Sufficiency in React Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2101-the-pragmatic-architect-balancing-necessity-vs-sufficiency-in-react-systems) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) ## Related Articles - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [React Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/198-react-developer-salary-2023) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [10 Essential Figma Plugins for Frontend Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/262-10-essential-figma-plugins-for-frontend-developers-in-2023) - [Dev Digest 159: AI Pipelines, 10x Faster TypeScript, How to Interview](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/563-dev-digest-159-ai-pipelines-10x-faster-typescript-how-to-interview) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
