## Description

We're looking for a Front End Developer who specialises in design systems to help build, maintain and drive adoption of a government design system. You'll create accessible, reusable components that teams across the programme can rely on, and you'll support their rollout through documentation, communication and hands-on adoption help.

This is a Front End specialist role. We want someone who has built or maintained component libraries and cares about accessibility, performance and developer experience

What You'll Be Doing

 * Build and maintain a government-standard component library and design system.
 * Audit and remediate components to WCAG 2.2 AA.
 * Develop Front End components in the design system's existing stack, packaged and versioned for reuse.
 * Work with designers using Figma (including Dev Mode and Figma Make) to turn designs into production components.
 * Support change, communications and adoption activity for design system rollout across delivery teams.
 * Write and maintain automated tests, with component testing through Storybook and Chromatic.
 * Maintain automated build, test and deployment pipelines using Azure DevOps and YAML.
 * Maintain documentation sites and release notes, including migration guides for breaking changes.
