TL;DR · Frontend Engineer, Design Systems

As a Frontend Engineer, Design Systems, you will join the Web Presence and Platform team to build and steward Helm, the shared design system for stripe.com. You will turn visual direction into reusable, production-ready capabilities by shaping components from early design through implementation, testing, and documentation. Your daily work involves building polished, accessible, and performant React components and patterns that express the brand's visual language. You will utilize React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS to ensure Helm works across responsive layouts, interaction states, and performance constraints. You will partner with designers and engineers to manage design-token architecture and component APIs. This role solves the technical challenge of maintaining design-code parity and providing consistent, high-quality web experiences across a large, global public web presence.

What you'll do

  • Design and build polished, accessible, and performant React components that express Stripe’s visual language.
  • Partner with designers and engineers to shape component behavior, APIs, responsive states, and design-token architecture.
  • Maintain design-code parity through documentation, accessibility testing, visual-regression testing, and production validation.
  • Advise workstream teams on when to compose existing capabilities, extend the system, or keep implementations local.
  • Lead the upstreaming of broadly reusable work from various product teams back into the design system.
  • Improve discovery and adoption of the design system through clear guidance, examples, and tooling.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of relevant frontend or design engineering experience building production web experiences or shared systems and tooling.
  • Experience building and maintaining a production design system or shared component library through real-world use.
  • Proficiency with React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS to take interactive, responsive work from design through production.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools with sound judgment regarding code, product, and security quality.
  • Experience designing flexible component APIs, primitives, tokens, and composition models that preserve accessibility and maintainability.
  • Strong visual and interaction-design judgment with communication skills to collaborate on ambiguous system-level tradeoffs.
  • Experience building expressive, brand-forward web experiences where consistency must coexist with differentiated art direction (preferred).
  • Familiarity with CMS-driven experiences, structured content, localization, or visual-regression testing (preferred).
