About the role
- At Assembled, we're rebuilding how design and engineering create products from the ground up - a brand-new design system and the AI-native workflows that bring it to life.
- We're looking for a Software Engineer to lead the technical vision for that work: defining the architecture of the system, building the infrastructure around it, and helping shape the next generation of design-to-code workflows.
- Working closely with our Design Systems Designer, you'll make foundational decisions that influence every product team at Assembled - from component APIs and token architecture to performance, accessibility, developer experience, and how AI coding agents generate production-quality UI.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction of our design system, from token architecture and components to tooling, testing, and adoption
- Shape how AI coding agents build UI, through component APIs, documentation, guardrails, and developer workflows
- Build the infrastructure that keeps the system reliable at scale, including testing, visual regression, CI/CD, and versioned releases
- Establish frontend best practices across teams, helping engineers build more consistent, maintainable, and high-quality user experiences
- Influence product decisions early, surfacing technical constraints, tradeoffs, and opportunities throughout the design process
- Has owned or significantly evolved a design system used across multiple teams or products
- Has raised the quality bar of a product, improving performance, accessibility, usability, and interaction design
- Has strong product and design instincts, with a sharp eye for craft and user experience
- Communicates clearly and collaborates effectively, especially across engineering and design
- Is excited about AI-assisted development workflows, and how design systems can help guide and accelerate AI-generated code
Requirements
- Has 3+ years of experience building frontend products, with meaningful ownership over architecture and technical direction
