🔹 Must Haves (Non-Negotiables)

  • 8+ years in front-end, UX engineering, or design-system engineering.

  • Figma Architecture: Heavy experience managing large, comprehensive Figma design systems (tokens, variants, governance).

  • Tech Stack Mastery: Deep production experience with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, ShadCN UI, and Radix UI.
