Scout Motors is looking for a Full Stack Engineer, Design Systems to join our Design Engineering team. You will be responsible for closing the gap between design vision and product delivery by architecting the technical foundation of our design system and enabling multiple product teams with robust tooling.
What You'll Do
- Architect and maintain the technical infrastructure that powers our design system, including npm build pipelines, release workflows, bundling strategies, and content delivery mechanisms.
- Enable multiple product teams by creating reliable tooling, patterns, and processes that help engineers deliver consistent, accessible, well-structured UI across our ecosystem.
- Collaborate closely with UX Engineers on your team, reviewing implementation approaches, supporting component API design, and ensuring system contributions are stable and maintainable.
- Partner with Full-Stack Engineers across teams to understand their needs, reduce friction in adopting the system, and anticipate challenges related to build processes, versioning, and integration.
- Drive the evolution of the design system’s backend and platform architecture, including Rails-based services, token pipelines, and documentation tooling.
- Manage cross-team impact, coordinating system-wide improvements, facilitating migrations, and helping teams adopt new versions or patterns safely.
- Contribute to a clear, consistent release strategy, including semantic versioning, changelogs, beta releases, and automated testing that protects downstream teams.
- Identify opportunities to enhance the developer experience, from Storybook enhancements to scaffolding tools and automated validation of component usage.
- Support accessibility best practices by ensuring our system infrastructure and APIs enable UX Engineers to meet accessibility standards.
- Champion long-term system health, balancing extensibility with stability and helping guide decisions about what belongs in the system vs. product teams.
