• You’re experienced with theming methods and design tokens (e.g., Style Dictionary), and template languages like Handlebars.
• You’re confident with front-end build systems (Webpack), testing frameworks (Jest, Vitest, Cypress), and CI/CD pipelines.
• You understand accessibility (WCAG), performance optimization, and responsive design—and know how to deliver on them.
• You’re familiar with Figma (Developer Mode) and cross-browser/mobile testing, and you enjoy mentoring developers and coordinating technical roadmaps.

This is your role

• You define and evolve the technical strategy for the pattern library in alignment with product and design system goals.
