Job Description
Senior Design Engineer
Kit (formerly ConvertKit)
• Immerse yourself in Kit's product surfaces and current component landscape in your first week. • Audit the current UI for patterns, tokens, and inconsistencies in your first month. • Establish tokens and primitives mapped between Figma and code in partnership with the front-end engineering team in your first six months. • Create a stable, predictable design-to-code workflow that feature squads rely on in your first year. • Drive high adoption of system components in new feature work with visible consistency improvements across surfaces that previously diverged. • Lead the evolution of our component library in Storybook to become the canonical reference for UI behaviour and states. • Establish guardrails that prevent UI drift before it starts, allowing feature squads to ship faster with higher-quality UI without needing to check in with you on every decision.
Job Requirements
- 6+ years of relevant experience with meaningful design system work as a significant part of that — building, scaling, and maintaining a design system in production
- Proven track record retrofitting and modernizing legacy UI systems, migrating inconsistent patterns into cohesive design systems
- Prior experience working as a designer
- Portfolio demonstrating effective use of UI design fundamentals
- Deep experience with composition and presentational component architecture in React
- Proven track record maintaining Storybook as a canonical UI reference
- Built and managed design token systems with Figma integration
- Evidence of successfully bridging design and code in a live product
- Experience collaborating with product designers and engineering teams
- Hands-on experience implementing AI tooling to accelerate design-to-code workflows and automate design system consistency checks
- Strong visual design craft: typography, layout, spacing, color, and hierarchy
- Strong React/Typescript fundamentals and component architecture
- Design token architecture and Figma-to-code mapping
- Building and maintaining Storybook for component development
- Deep understanding of interaction design, states, and edge cases
- The ability to spot and resolve visual and interaction inconsistencies across a product surface — not just in isolation, but in context
- Performance and accessibility standards
- Systems thinking and building for scale
- Clear documentation and pattern guidance
- Ability to validate technical feasibility early in the design process.
Benefits
- Profit Sharing
- Kit equity
- 401k with a 5% match
- We cover up to $2,100 per month toward medical premiums, with dental and vision premiums fully covered. We offer Health Insurance plans through Aetna
- $2,000 equipment allowance for your first two years, $1,000 budget every following two years. Company-provided laptops are issued to every Kit team member and are not included in the equipment budget
- Individual learning + development budget ($3,500/year)
- Gender affirming benefits
- Childcare benefit up to $3,000 annually
- Twenty (20) days of paid time off during each year of employment
- Paid paid vacation: An after-tax bonus of $1,000 for taking five consecutive days of vacation where you’re fully unplugged from work
- Ten (10) paid holidays a year
- Two weeks of paid sick time each year, including mental health + well being days
- Twelve (12) weeks paid parental leave and flexible scheduling in your child’s first year
- Up to six weeks of paid bereavement leave, medical leave, and disaster after six months of employment, two weeks of each paid leave in your first six months
- Winter Break Closure: Kit closes for a week at the end of December, giving everyone a collective break to enjoy the holiday season. Essential support services remain available, with teams coordinating to ensure coverage during this period
- Four-week, paid sabbatical after five years with the team
- Fantastic in-person or virtual retreats with the team twice a year
