Job description

Insight Global is seeking a Design Systems Engineer for a 4-month contract to lead a proof-of-concept focused on modernizing and scaling Entrust’s design system and component library. This individual will evaluate and implement a headless UI framework (such as Base UI, Radix UI, or similar), partner closely with designers and engineers, and help build an AI-friendly component ecosystem that enables faster front-end development through AI-assisted coding tools. The role will focus on component library architecture, design system governance, accessibility, Storybook documentation, migration planning, and improving developer experience across product teams. This position is ideal for someone who has previously built and owned production design systems and enjoys operating at the intersection of design, engineering, and emerging AI development workflows.

Requirements

Proven experience building and maintaining a production design system or component library (not just using one)
Strong React and TypeScript expertise
Experience working closely with designers in Figma
Strong understanding of accessibility standards, including WCAG, ARIA, keyboard navigation, and semantic HTML
Experience with Storybook, component documentation, design tokens, theming, and reusable UI patterns
Experience building scalable, reusable front-end platform infrastructure and component APIs
Ability to work independently and collaborate across design and engineering teams in an agile environment
Experience with Base UI, Radix UI, React Aria, Ariakit, Headless UI, or similar component ecosystems
Experience building design systems that work well with AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar
Experience with codemods, migration tooling, ESLint rules, or upgrade automation
Experience with monorepos, CI/CD, release automation, and developer experience tooling
Open-source contributions to design systems, UI libraries, or accessibility tooling
Experience in enterprise, security, fintech, identity, or other regulated environments
Portfolio, GitHub repository, Storybook instance, or examples of previous design system work
