  • Develop and maintain our scalable, consistent design system

  • Stay at the forefront of frontend trends in AI interfaces, web/mobile tech, and performance engineering

  • Skilled in at least one major frontend framework:

    • Web: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

    • Mobile/Desktop: Flutter, iOS, Android

  • Capable of transforming Figma designs into polished, production-ready components
