About the role
As Front’s first Design Engineer, you’ll be a hands-on senior IC with high leverage across Product, Design, and Engineering.

What they're looking for
- 6+ years of experience designing and building production frontend experiences, ideally in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, developer tools, or similarly mature product environments
- Strong frontend engineering skills with modern web technologies and component-based architecture. You do not need to have used Front’s exact stack, but you should be able to ramp quickly in a large, mature codebase
- High UI craft and strong product taste. You can evaluate whether an interface is visually polished, consistent, accessible, responsive, and maintainable
- Experience choosing and implementing design-engineering tooling and automation—for example, visual regression, design-token pipelines, component documentation, code-to-design connections, linting, or CI checks
- Strong accessibility fundamentals, including semantic HTML, ARIA patterns, keyboard interaction models, focus management, and inclusive component states
- Strong communication and teaching skills. You can explain technical and design-system decisions clearly, help others build shared fluency, and influence adoption through practical guidance
