The Role

You’ll join Addepar’s Web Platform Engineering team, and work day-to-day with a cross-functional group to build Addepar’s in-house design system and ensure its successful adoption. Addepar’s design system group is a cross-disciplinary squad across engineering, design and product content domains.

Addepar’s design system is at the heart of our product’s growth strategy. Built around pillars of consistency, performance, accessibility, and localization, the Addepar Product Language provides a platform for our product teams as they build new features and iterate on existing codebases.

To understand the challenges and opportunities ahead you’ll need to adapt your skills to new frameworks, tools, and codebases.
