  • Focused on creating reusable components and UI libraries.

  • Excited by the opportunity to define and implement best practices for component development and usage.

  • A strong communicator with the ability to negotiate tradeoffs and secure buy-in from Product Managers and other engineers on timelines or resource allocation.

  • The kind of person who enjoys collaborating with cross-functional teams and mentoring others to grow their technical skills.

Your day to day is…

  • Taking full ownership of architecting and building core UI components and libraries for the Zocdoc Design System.

  • Ensuring all components meet high standards of performance and maintainability.

  • Authentically mentoring and coaching engineers on best practices for component development, code reviews, and technical decisions to elevate the entire team's performance.

  • Building and fostering strong relationships with cross-functional stakeholders to align on technical direction and deliverables.

  • Contributing to the overall vision and roadmap of the Design System.

You'll be successful in this role if you have…

  • Meaningful experience building and scaling shared UI/UX/Web components, design system libraries, or UI libraries.

  • Strong technical skills with React, Javascript, and Typescript, primarily mentioning work on developing new consumer-facing applications.

  • Experience working as part of a Design System team or focused on Design System initiatives.

  • A traditional Application Development background with several years of frontend experience.

  • A fundamental understanding of software development principles, including CI/CD (e.g., TeamCity), testing strategies (e.g., Jest), and version control.

  • SOLID communication skills and expressed willingness to have other engineers as primary stakeholders.

  • Experience or passion for code reviews, architectural reviews, and establishing best practices.
