## About the role

At Step, we believe the gap between design and engineering should be as close to zero as possible. We're looking for a Design Systems Engineer to help make that vision a reality.

## What they're looking for

- Significant experience building and evolving design systems for modern consumer software products
- Strong frontend engineering experience building reusable component libraries and design infrastructure
- Deep understanding of design tokens, component architecture, accessibility, documentation, and modern design system best practices
- Strong understanding of Figma and how modern design teams build and maintain systems
- A systems thinker who naturally looks beyond individual components to improve the entire product development workflow
- An exceptional eye for visual detail and a passion for building interfaces that feel polished and intentional
