Senior Design Engineer II - Design System at Kit

This role is designed for a rare "unicorn" who is equally proficient in high-fidelity UI design and production-ready React engineering. With at least 6 years of experience, you should be a systems thinker who has previously scaled design systems and managed the bridge between Figma and code. This isn’t just about building components; it’s about establishing the architectural standards (tokens, documentation, and workflows) that empower other squads to ship faster. The package is highly competitive, offering a flat **$186,000 salary** regardless of location, plus profit sharing and equity. Kit is a 100% remote, independent company known for a culture of stability and "creator-first" mission. Standout perks include a $2,000 home office budget, a $3,500 annual learning stipend, and the unique "paid paid vacation" bonus—where they pay you $1,000 extra just to unplug for five days. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Can build complex, accessible React components in TypeScript and document them in Storybook. * Have professional experience as a designer and feel confident making visual decisions without a spec. * Enjoy the "janitorial" work of auditing legacy UI and retrofitting it into a cohesive system. * Are excited about using AI tooling to accelerate design-to-code workflows.
