Sr. Design System Engineer II
US or Canada (Remote); #LI-Remote
Meet the TeamAs a member of the Design Systems team, you’ll join a group of engineers and designers passionate about building an accessible and widely adopted design system for HashiCorp’s growing portfolio of products and other experiences. We have team members working from Canada, the UK, and the US.
What We DoWe’re the creators of the Helios Design System! We build and support a single source of truth for the design vision, tools, documentation, process, and infrastructure needed to build accessible, differentiated experiences for Hashicorp’s user interfaces.
What You’ll DoYou’ll play a lead role in maintaining and maturing a design system that is used across all of HashiCorp’s products. You’ll collaborate with engineers and designers across the company to understand their needs and work to develop the necessary tools and infrastructure to support our accessible, extensible design system.
You might lead upcoming efforts to modernize our component library through the adoption of TypeScript, implement complex patterns like a DataGrid, or work on the introduction of a new “system of systems” layer built on top of Helios.
