## About the role

We're hiring a Staff Design Engineer to own Stylus, our design system, and the quality of what we ship across the web app, desktop app, browser extension, and marketing site. As a Staff Design Engineer at Scribe, you sit at the intersection of design and frontend engineering.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience in front-end development with a strong design sensibility and real depth in CSS, the DOM, and browser rendering. You have a view on when to use native platform elements versus a framework's version, and you can explain it
- Design ability of your own. You can make the call on an interaction, and you know which ones aren't worth what they cost to build
- You've worked on a design system at depth: components, primitives, tokens, versioning, adoption, and the governance to hold a line when a team wants an exception
- You shape the work rather than take tickets. You'll be accountable for a roadmap, which means knowing when to say no
- You already build with AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code, and you like getting other people using them well
- Accessibility, keyboard and touch input, and respecting user preferences are things you handle by default
