Design System Platform Engineer (Contract / Project-based)

Job Summary

Efficienza is looking for a Design System Platform Engineer to design, build, and operationalize a scalable internal design system platform for a large enterprise application ecosystem.The role focuses on design system engineering, frontend platform development, and internal tooling, enabling multiple teams to build consistent, safe, and reusable UI components across applications.This is a hands-on role requiring strong ownership from design discovery → componentization→ documentation → internal deployment enablement.

Key Responsibilities

• Design System Discovery & Pattern Identification
• Identify, audit, and document existing UI and interaction patterns across multiple applications.
• Catalog patterns such as:
• Status indicators and badges
• Iconography for different system contexts
• Environment and system banners
• Navigation patterns (primary, secondary, tertiary)
• Establish a structured, reusable design pattern taxonomy.
• Design System Playground & Documentation
• Build an interactive internal design system playground to showcase all UI components and patterns.
• Implement searchable documentation with keyword-based discovery for design and engineering teams.
• Ensure the platform is accessible internally for reference and self-serve usage.
• Use tools such as Storybook or equivalent for interactive documentation with editable component properties.
• Design System Component Library
• Develop a reusable component library based on approved design specifications.
• Build components using React with strong TypeScript typing.
• Ensure:
• Modular component architecture
• Individual component imports
• Tree-shaking support to minimize bundle size
• Implement design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, shadows) using JavaScript / JSON.
• Build a scalable theming system to support multiple themes (e.g., light/dark or brand variations).
• Package Distribution & Developer Enablement
• Create and maintain a private npm package for internal design system consumption.
• Set up and manage a private npm registry (GitHub Packages, AWS CodeArtifact, or equivalent).
• Ensure simple installation and usage patterns:
• Clear import structure
• Hot-reload support for local development
• Provide clean documentation including:
• README
• Installation instructions
• Usage examples
• Cross-functional Prototyping & Iteration
• Work closely with design, product, and engineering stakeholders to iterate on prioritized interaction patterns.
• Convert design concepts into working frontend prototypes.
• Demonstrate prototypes in internal reviews and feedback sessions.
• Where required, implement prototypes directly in application codebases to validate interactions.
• Internal Deployment & Demo Platform Support
• Contribute to the setup of a centralized internal deployment and demo environment.
• Build internal tooling that allows teams to:
• View staging and non-production deployments
• Safely access production UI (read-only) where applicable
• Support API mocking and realistic data simulations to validate UI behavior.
• Enable self-serve deployment workflows for demos and internal reviews.

Required Skills & Capabilities

• Strong frontend engineering fundamentals
• Proficiency in React and TypeScript
• Experience building design systems or component libraries
• Hands-on experience with Storybook or similar tooling
• Understanding of frontend build systems, bundling, and performance optimization
• Experience with npm packaging and private registries
• Strong documentation and communication skills
• Comfortable working across design and engineering workflows
  
  

Key Deliverables

• Documented UI design patterns and interaction standards
• Interactive design system playground
• Reusable component library with design tokens
• Private npm package for internal consumption
• Clear developer documentation and onboarding material
• Internal demo and deployment enablement tools
  
  

What Success Looks Like

• Teams across Efficienza can consistently reuse UI components
• Reduced duplication and UI inconsistency across applications
• Faster prototyping and safer UI changes
• A single, authoritative source for design and UI standards
