You will be the first dedicated Design System engineer and will be overall responsible for defining the technical direction and development of Lighthouse Design System. In this role, you will combine technical leadership, hands-on engineering, and cross-functional collaboration. Together with other colleagues, you will build a scalable foundation that enables our product teams to efficiently deliver consistent, accessible, and high-quality experiences. To achieve this, you will be balancing technical solutions with stakeholder management – staying ambitious yet pragmatic with the product. Likewise, you will be fundamental in creating followership across the broader organization, in ensuring its implementation, adaptability and recognition.

  • Strong experience with Angular / TypeScript and modern front-end engineering. If you have experience working with multiple architectural design patterns across multiple tech-stacks, it is considered a plus.
  • Strong experience with building and maintaining component libraries, design systems, or platform-like products serving multiple teams and the ability to establish clear approaches for ownership boundaries, versioning, and backwards compatibility.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to a strong engineering culture.
  • Experience of working closely together with designers and product managers and navigating technical trade-offs across multiple stakeholders.
  • Experience in applying AI-assisted development tools and workflows to improve engineering productivity, code quality, and developer experience, while maintaining strong technical standards and human oversight.
  • Experience with improving developer experience through tooling, automation, documentation, or processes. To improve the way teams, contribute to and adopt the design system.
  • A pragmatic and hands-on approach, with a passion for building simple and scalable solutions to complex problems.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
