Responsibilities

Lead, grow, and develop a team of Design Engineers and Core Frontend Engineers; own hiring, onboarding, 1:1s, performance, and career growth.
Set the team's direction, goals, and priorities, translating platform strategy into a clear roadmap and execution plan.
Foster a culture that values collaboration, inclusion, craft, and creativity.
Mentor Design Engineers and frontend engineers, modeling strong craft, collaboration, and pragmatism.
Own SimSpace's core frontend repositories, design system (e.g., Monorail), component libraries, and overall frontend architecture—treating the platform as a product with a roadmap and measurable quality.
Steward architectural decisions and manage technical and UX debt deliberately, balancing long‑term health with delivery needs.
Own the relationship between engineering and UX Design, ensuring alignment between design (Figma) and implementation (code, Storybook).
Partner with Product Management to align frontend work with business objectives and timelines, and maintain the plans and resourcing for predictable delivery.
Champion accessibility (a11y) at the component, system, and organizational level, with WCAG‑aligned standards and guidance.
Drive UX quality, polish, responsive design standards, and consistency across the product.

Requirements

8+ years in frontend, UX, or design‑adjacent engineering, including 2+ years directly managing or leading engineers.
Proven ability to lead and grow frontend or UX engineering teams, including distributed or hybrid teams.
Strong technical depth in TypeScript and React—modern component patterns and state management—enough to guide architecture and review work credibly.
Experience owning or substantially contributing to design systems or shared UI libraries used by multiple teams.
Solid understanding of accessibility (a11y) standards and how to operationalize them.
Track record of partnering closely with designers, PMs, and engineers across teams.
Hands‑on experience with Agile methodologies, paired with strong leadership and communication skills.
