Senior Frontend Engineer (Design System) at N-iX in Ukraine

We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to own and evolve our design system - not just consume it. You'll turn Figma designs into reusable, accessible React + TypeScript components and drive their adoption across product teams.
Responsibilities:
Build and maintain our component library (React + TypeScript): tokens, layout primitives, complex components.
Translate Figma designs into accessible, responsive, production-ready components.
Document components and usage guidelines in Storybook.
Own versioning/publishing of the library as an internal npm package.
Drive adoption across squads and prevent UI drift/duplication.
Ensure accessibility (WCAG/ARIA) and cross-browser consistency.
Mentor other frontend engineers on the design system.
Requirements:
5+ years frontend experience, strong React + TypeScript
Proven experience building or scaling a design system/component library — not just using one.
Strong grasp of component API design and reusable styling (CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, or similar).
Experience with Storybook and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1+).
Experience versioning/publishing internal npm packages.
Comfortable working directly from Figma, including design tokens.
AI-first workflow: regularly delegates real, multi-step tasks to AI coding agents (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) — provides proper context, reviews diffs critically, verifies output, and has a clear process for when the AI gets it wrong.
Bonus: AI-native, not just AI-using — creates or customizes skills/MCP servers, manages context deliberately, picks the right model for the task, and can speak to specific failures and trade-offs (not just tool/brand names).
Nice to Have:
Design tokens tooling (Style Dictionary).
Prior experience as a design system owner/lead.
We offer*:
Flexible working format - remote, office-based or flexible
A competitive salary and good compensation package
Personalized career growth
Professional development tools (mentorship program, tech talks and trainings, centers of excellence, and more)
Active tech communities with regular knowledge sharing
Education reimbursement
Memorable anniversary presents
Corporate events and team buildings
Other location-specific benefits
