Staff Software Engineer (Tech Lead - Design System)

What you tell your friends you do

“I make sure every button, form, and flow in our product actually works together – and that the teams behind them do too”

What you will really be doing

🧩Lead the evolution of our design system from a component library to a governed product with clear standards, tooling, and measurable quality

🤖 Implement AI best-practices to make the design system AI-powered

⚛️ Work hands-on in React – building, refactoring, and improving components in both code and Figma

📐 Define and document guidelines, best practices, and ADRs that other teams can understand, trust, and implement

📊 Establish governance mechanisms and maturity reporting for accessibility, responsiveness, and design consistency across teams

🤝 Collaborate closely with other engineering teams to align on standards – building relationships that create buy-in rather than resistance

🌱 Provide technical direction, structure and mentoring to a strong team

How you will be doing this

  • Acting as a tech lead who can facilitate open technical discussions and guide collaborative decision making

  • Combining deep React knowledge with design system experience to make technically sound and scalable choices

  • Writing clear ADRs and technical documentation that explain not just what we change, but why

  • Evaluating existing solutions across teams and driving refactoring efforts based on clear technical and UX principles

  • Building trust across teams through clear communication and a collaborative mindset

  • Balancing hands-on coding with governance, support, and long-term architectural thinking



Team

You would be working with a cross-functional team of developers, designers and QA, providing the tools, standards and guidance that help product teams build consistent, high-quality user experiences. The team’s purpose is to create a strong shared foundation that provides accessibility, improves usability, speeds up delivery, and makes the product experience more cohesive across the platform.

Grounded, human, and unstoppable are the values that guide our day-to-day. If that aligns with how you like to work, we’d love to hear from you🚀



Who we think you are

  • A developer with a background in React and modern frontend architecture.

  • Experienced in architectural decision making, discussions, refactoring initiatives, and cross-team alignment.

  • Solid hands-on experience building and evolving design systems beyond just component libraries.

  • A person who communicates clearly, creates clarity and reduces friction when attempting to guide teams effectively.

We offer:

  • Money

  • Hybrid work and flexible hours

  • A MacBook or laptop running Windows, so you can get shit (work) done

  • Support to help you keep your money: we chip in on your pension, pay for your work travels and keep you safe with insurance

  • Care for your wellbeing, including an on-site private health clinic and covered check-ups

  • Room for you to do things your way and be who you are

  • Opportunities to learn and share through our professional Guilds, helping you grow your skills and inspire those around you

  • Vacation perks - maybe a few days at one of our cabins (Gaustablikk, Beitostølen, Hafjell, Tjøme, Spain ++). Just remember to come back🥹

  • Support for your passions through events, training and courses, you choose what interests you

  • And of course the good stuff - free phone plan, home broadband, solid hardware, on-site gym, great lunch, afterwork socials and occasional celebration along the way

About Aize


We believe our product will connect experts across disciplines, domains and industries.

For decades, siloed information and lack of collaboration have hindered teams working in heavy-asset projects. Solving that is our main priority - but only the beginning.

We say we see things differently, but people rarely accept different if it doesn’t also mean better. So we have to show our clients that we can deliver better for them and that’s why we’re recruiting the best from all over the world to help us.

At Aize, we know what happens when you give the smartest of us the tools to succeed.
