## About the Role

* 8+ years of experience in front-end development with a strong design sensibility and real depth in CSS, the DOM, and browser rendering. You have a view on when to use native platform elements versus a framework's version, and you can explain it.
 * Design ability of your own. You can make the call on an interaction, and you know which ones aren't worth what they cost to build.
 * You've worked on a design system at depth: components, primitives, tokens, versioning, adoption, and the governance to hold a line when a team wants an exception.
 * You shape the work rather than take tickets. You'll be accountable for a roadmap, which means knowing when to say no.
 * You already build with AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code, and you like getting other people using them well.
 * Accessibility, keyboard and touch input, and respecting user preferences are things you handle by default.
