• Collaborate with frontend developers to ensure code adheres to the design system and is responsive.
• Implement and maintain a design system on Storybook that’s configurable for all GetInsured products.
• Provide tooling and documentation to empower UI developers to use the design system effectively.
• Ensure accessibility is built into every component by default.
• Establish design-to-code workflows (Figma → components, prototyping pipelines, automated documentation).
• Contribute to performance, maintainability, and consistency of front-end code across teams.
• Advocate for UX best practices in code and design reviews.
