Sr. Engineer II, Design Systems

US (Remote); #LI-Remote

Meet the Team

As 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 the UK and the US.

What We Do

We’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 create accessible, differentiated experiences for Hashicorp’s user interfaces.  

What You’ll Do

You’ll play a key role in maintaining and maturing a design system built using Ember.js, which 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 an accessible, extensible design system.

You will use your skills with Ember.js to support Helios’ adoption in our products, take ownership of the health and long-term stability of the Helios monorepo and serve as an expert resource for other UI Engineers at the company.

Your Roadmap to Success

Your First 30 days

• Onboard and become more familiar with HashiCorp’s products
• Gain familiarity with the Design System’s Ember.js codebase and repository and make improvements where you see the opportunity
