Your opportunity
The NR Design System Team is growing, and we are looking for front-end engineers passionate about design systems to join us!
You’ll be part of a fully dedicated design system team and you’ll collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers, and other colleagues to help evolve and improve the design system, an inner-source project used by product teams to build web user interfaces at scale.
We highly value work/life balance, learning from each other, ownership, autonomy, and accountability at all levels.
This position is remote-friendly, but you’ll be able to work in the office or follow a hybrid model depending on your location.
What you'll do
  • Build modular, reusable, accessible components for our component library (with React).
  • Partner with designers to achieve the best possible outcome when creating components.
  • Help define patterns that can be enforced through code.
  • Improve our documentation.
  • Help enhance our workflows, technical and non-technical.
  • Improve our tooling to support our long-term vision.
  • Support product teams in our help channel and office hours.
  • Advocate for the design system and educate product teams.


This role requires
  • Strong collaborative mindset.
  • Strong UI knowledge (HTML, JS, and CSS).
  • Interest in the design system landscape.
  • You can think at scale and you can differentiate platform work from product work.
  • You love to be at the intersection of engineering and design.
  • You don’t ship code without tests.
  • You love to write docs.
  • Comfortable using native JS APIs, like performing raw DOM manipulations, traversals, etc.
  • Knowledge about browser performance optimization and the concept of reflows, repaints, the event-based JS model, etc.


Bonus points if you have
  • Experience with design systems.
  • Experience creating accessible components and user interfaces.
  • Have experience in modern Javascript frameworks such as React!
  • Design skills.


We're looking for bold and passionate people to be a part of our mission to help every engineer do their best work, every day, using data, not opinions, at every stage of the software lifecycle. We'd love to have you apply, even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement. What's most important to us is finding authentic and accountable people who feel connected to our mission and values, not just candidates who check off all the boxes.
We believe in empowering all Relics to achieve professional and business success through a workforce model called Flex First. Flex First allows us to work in a variety of workplaces that best support our success, including fully office-based, fully remote, or hybrid.
