Senior Software Engineer, Design Systems

Responsibilities

• Design and implement AI-assisted workflows — using tools like Claude Code and Figma MCP — that move work between Figma, prototypes, and our production frontend codebase.
• Work as the engineering counterpart to Product
• Design — pairing on patterns, components, and workflows that make their work compose into shipped product.
• Evolve Thumbprint, our design system, so it composes cleanly with agentic tooling: machine-readable documentation, MCP-friendly component metadata, and tight integration with the prototyping platform.
• Partner with Developer Experience on the AI agent and tooling foundation, and with Frontend Infrastructure on our web stack, so this work builds on top of theirs rather than duplicating it.
• Engage the engineers and designers who use what you build: run office hours, prioritize their feedback, and ship the highest-impact improvements to how product teams move from idea to production.
• Prototype and evaluate emerging AI development tooling, and bring informed recommendations on what to adopt and scale at Thumbtack.
• In order to be successful, you must bring
• Demonstrated experience as a frontend engineer building production product surfaces, with the systems-thinking instincts to reason about tooling, workflows, and platforms as well as features.
• Deep hands-on fluency with the modern web stack: TypeScript, React, and the build, test, and deploy tools that surround them.
