Your role as Senior Design Developer
Dialogue is building a connected care experience where quality, trust, and speed matter. As our first Senior Design Developer, your primary focus is enabling designers and developers across Dialogue to ship faster—with higher quality, accessibility, and consistency—by strengthening the design system, patterns, and contribution workflows. Your north star is adoption: making the design system easy to use, easy to trust, and safe for many people to contribute to—so squads ship faster with less drift.

What you'll be doing

Enable teams to ship UI faster and more consistently:
Build the foundations (components, tokens, patterns, docs, examples) and provide the support (pairing, office hours) that make the design system the default path.

Drive design system adoption:
Partner with squads to migrate to shared components, run enablement (docs, examples, office hours), and make it the default path—not the “nice to have” path.

Own UI quality as a system:
Identify sources of inconsistency (UX drift, edge cases, accessibility gaps), fix them at the right level (component, token, guideline, lint/test, workflow), and prevent regressions.

Create strong design and engineering collaboration:
Improve handoffs and day-to-day pairing so designers and engineers can iterate faster with fewer misunderstandings.

Make safe change easy:
Build contribution workflows (how work gets proposed, reviewed, merged, released) so improvements can come from many people—not just you.

Support AI‑assisted building responsibly:
Explore how AI can accelerate UI iteration while keeping guardrails so changes remain consistent, reviewable, and safe to ship.

We'd love to hear from you if you have

Senior‑level design & engineering experience: 5+ years building design systems & component libraries for digital products teams.

Frontend development depth:
Strong experience shipping production UI and comfort with code quality, testing, and maintainable architecture.

Design fluency:
You can interpret and challenge design decisions, spot UX issues early, and implement nuanced UI details without hand‑holding.

Accessibility experience:
Practical ability to build accessible components and interactions (WCAG-informed), not just “run a checklist.”

Systems mindset:
You naturally look for leverage—solving root causes and building foundations instead of repeatedly patching symptoms.

Collaborative influence:
You can align stakeholders, explain tradeoffs, and move work forward across Design, Product, and Development. You’re comfortable influencing without authority…
