About the job

Paperkite is a learning platform for secondary schools. We are growing our design team and looking for a Senior Design Engineer.

About the role

You will sit between design and engineering: building the front end of the design system and prototyping new interactions in code. This is a remote role.

What you will do

  • Build accessible React components from the design specs, with Storybook documentation
  • Prototype interactions and motion in code so designers can test ideas quickly
  • Keep Figma and code in sync: tokens, naming and versions
  • Pair with designers and engineers on tricky UI problems

About you

  • Solid TypeScript and React, and a designer's eye for spacing and type
  • Experience with CSS architecture, theming and design tokens
  • Comfortable in Figma and in a code editor
  • You care about accessibility and performance

What we offer

  • A salary of £65k to £78k, depending on experience
  • Flexible working hours
  • A home-office budget
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
