About the role

  • This is a hands-on, high-ownership IC role for someone who is equally comfortable in Figma and in a codebase.
  • You'll spend your time designing reusable components, implementing them in front-end code, and raising the consistency and quality bar across every surface.

Responsibilities

  • Own, build, and maintain our common component library.esign reusable, accessible, well-documented components and implement them in production front-end code.
  • Establish and uphold design patterns across the platform: define conventions, keep them consistent across products and surfaces, and evolve them as needs change.
  • Bridge design and engineering: translate high-fidelity designs into faithful, performant, reusable UI, and feed real implementation constraints back into the design process.
  • Build prototypes and reference implementations that show how new patterns should look and behave in code, not just in mockups.
  • 4+ years working at the intersection of design and front-end engineering (design engineer, UX engineer, design systems engineer, or a front-end engineer with strong design sensibility).
  • Demonstrated experience building and maintaining a component library or design system that real teams shipped on top of.

Requirements

  • Strong front-end engineering skills:production experience with React and TypeScript, modern CSS, and component-driven architecture.

Nice to have

  • Experience with design-system tooling (Storybook, tokens, automated visual/regression testing, monorepo setups).
  • No third party may recruit, solicit candidates, publish job opportunities, use Tessera Labs' name or branding, or represent that they are acting on behalf of Tessera Labs without prior written authorization.

Skills

  • production experience with React and TypeScript, modern CSS, and component-driven architecture.
  • Deep care for accessibility, performance, and cross-surface consistency.
  • Excellent communication and a collaborative, proactive mindset; comfortable owning an area end to end.
  • Familiarity with ERP, CRM, HCM, or other systems of record.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.
  • Experience prototyping AI-assisted tools (e.g., Cursor or similar).
  • High ownership, high impact, and direct influence on how our product is built.
  • Any such activity conducted without explicit written consent is strictly prohibited.

Benefits

  • Partner with product designers, PMs, and engineers to align on vision, ensure technical feasibility, and ship at a high quality bar.
  • Maintain the system's health over time: versioning, documentation, migration paths, and developer ergonomics so the rest of engineering can move fast on top of it.
