Descripción de la vacante

Yahoo is seeking an engineer who thrives at the intersection of UI development, motion, and product engineering to design and ship interactive tool experiences. You obsess over micro-interactions, typography, layouts, and keyboard navigation, and you can iterate from critique to code.

In a hybrid role, you will collaborate with design and engineering teams to deliver production-quality React/TypeScript features, shape the tool's visual language, and push accessibility and performance standards

Formación

• 8+ years of relevant experience shipping interactive tools used by users.
• Strong hands-on experience building interactive UI components with React and TypeScript in production.
• Solid visual design fundamentals: typography, layout, color, spacing, hierarchy.
• Deep understanding of motion, micro-interactions, and user feedback.
• Portfolio demonstrating live interactive web apps or design tools with clear problem, process, and decisions.

Responsabilidades

• Design and build the tool's core interactions, including selection systems, direct manipulation mechanics, panel layouts, keyboard navigation, and UI states for AI generation.
• Shape the visual language of the tool: layout, hierarchy, typography, motion, and component states.
• Own interactive and motion authoring, implementation, and preview within the platform.
• Ship production-quality code using React and TypeScript with standard git workflows and CI.
• Collaborate with internal product teams, turning user feedback into shipped features.
• Raise the bar for accessibility and performance across the engineering org.
• Bridge design and engineering, surfacing problems and aligning on intent and tradeoffs.
• Seek feedback in critiques and reviews, and respond thoughtfully.
