Job description

Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You’ve come to the right place.

YOUR IMPACT

Your work will directly empower teams across the firm to ship on-brand, highly accessible digital interfaces faster. By seamlessly bridging the gaps between design, front-end engineering, and emerging AI-assisted developer workflows, you will embed design compliance directly into our everyday tools. You will be involved in prioritizing the product roadmap based on usage data, user friction points, and LLM-readiness. You will design and scale a comprehensive MDS 2.0 Figma component library, integrating variants and design tokens that map one-to-one with production code. You will oversee the engineering of our MDS-themed React Component Library, ensuring pixel-perfect visual fidelity and adherence to global accessibility standards. You will design and document cutting-edge, LLM-assisted workflows—including direct React code generation and Figma-to-code handoffs. You will author skill files, reference documentation, and constraint systems that steer AI-generated code toward brand compliance. You will develop automated validation tooling (including lint rules, checklists, and automated audits) to catch brand and usability violations before code is deployed. You will be involved in structuring internal pilot programs, gather user feedback, and continuously iterate on system assets and workflows to drive firm-wide adoption and compliance.

• A voice that matters:From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
• Global community:With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• Exceptional benefits:On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.
