Senior Frontend Software Engineer

Flight Itinerary (About The Role)

We’re looking for a talented, experienced and passionate Senior Frontend Developer to join FLYR’s Design System team - a crucial part of our frontend engineering development. In this role, you’ll be shaping the Design System product, building its engineering architecture and ensuring that our product teams have the artifacts they need to build and ship an excellent product.

You’ll collaborate closely with designers and product teams to deliver seamless and performant UI components, while driving best practices in API design and components architecture. Expect to work on a high-impact product, where your decisions influence everything from developer experience to user interactions.

Let’s get you on board!

What Your Journey Will Look Like (Responsibilities)

• You will build and maintain reusable, high-performance UI components that integrate seamlessly with our products.
• You will define and enforce standards for the components, making sure they stay consistent, but also allow for some level of flexibility.
• You will collaborate closely with designers to translate designs into functional components.
• You will contribute to tooling and infrastructure, supporting versioning, CI/CD pipelines, and automated tests.
• You will advocate for the design system's adoption and evolution, gathering feedback and driving improvements across teams.
• You’ll have a possibility of working on the high-impact project that is run in a vast majority of FLYR’s products.
• You will work in a space where you’ll open your laptop each day with excitement and close it with satisfaction.
• You will have a possibility of staying in direct contact with our customers.
• Ownership really matters – we know it’s important to always have your own “something” at work. Therefore, beyond your regular responsibilities, we want to entrust you with ownership of a selected part of the codebase or architecture — like a specific module of solution in our library.
