Job description

Blink Health is the fastest growing healthcare technology company that builds products to make prescriptions accessible and affordable to everybody. Our two primary products – BlinkRx and Quick Save – remove traditional roadblocks within the current prescription supply chain, resulting in better access to critical medications and improved health outcomes for patients.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Design Systems Engineer to shape and scale the visual and interaction foundations of Blink’s digital ecosystem. You’ll partner with Product Design, Software Engineering, and cross‑functional teams to evolve the shared frontend design system that drives consistent, high‑quality experiences across all our products.

This is a hands‑on role that combines strong technical execution with a deep attention to design detail and end‑user experience. You’ll help teams deliver cohesive experiences faster by building the framework, components, and standards that make great design easy to implement, consistently high in quality, and delightful for users.

What You’ll Do

• Build and Evolve Components: Create and refine standardized UI components that deliver the highest standards of quality, performance, accessibility, and design fidelity.
• Ensure Quality & Consistency: Conduct code reviews, validate design fit and finish, and collaborate with the Design team through implementation reviews to ensure pixel‑perfect execution.
• Maintain the Design System Library: Publish, document, and maintain components in our centralized library—ensuring scalability and ease of adoption across teams.
• Integrate into Existing Products: Work with teams to integrate design system components into existing products that are transitioning to shared UI infrastructure.
• Partner Across Engineering: Act as a consultant and mentor for other engineering teams, promoting best practices for using and extending the design system.
• Prototype & Explore New Ideas: Create live prototypes and proofs of concept to test and validate new patterns, workflows, and UI paradigms before full‑scale development.

What We’re Looking For

• Preferred Experience
  • 7+ years of professional experience in front‑end or UI engineering.
  • Proven experience working on enterprise‑scale or complex professional software.
  • Prior contributions to a frontend design system at scale.
  • Experience integrating UI components into a complex ecosystem.
  • Comfort with rapid prototyping and experimentation.
  • Experience working in regulated domains such as healthcare or fintech is a plus.
• Technical Expertise
  • Expert use of modern AI‑assisted tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT).
  • Proficiency in Figma, including interpreting design to code and collaborating on component architecture and responsive principles.
  • Familiarity with Storybook or similar environments.
  • Understanding of WCAG accessibility standards and UI performance optimization.
  • Strong appreciation for design quality and the subtle details that make interfaces intuitive and engaging.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with designers, engineers, and product managers.
• Proactive, problem‑solving mindset—especially when bridging design and engineering.
