UX/UI Designer

<div><strong>About the Work</strong></div><div>Design Engineering exists to close the gap between design vision and product delivery — shaping both what our teams build and how they build it. We maintain our internal design system, define frontend standards, and develop the tooling and infrastructure that make building great UI simple. We're looking for a full-stack engineer who brings serious technical depth and a genuine appreciation for the front end.<br><br>You'll work alongside our existing full-stack engineer as a close technical partner across all three areas of the team's work. That means contributing to our internal design system's component architecture, helping shape the standards and conventions that guide front-end code across Planning Center, and building the tooling and infrastructure, such as codemods, migration utilities, and developer-facing APIs, that help product teams move faster without sacrificing quality.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Responsibilities</strong></div><ul><li><strong>Architect and maintain the technical infrastructure</strong> that powers our design system, including npm build pipelines, release workflows, bundling strategies, and content delivery mechanisms.</li><li><strong>Enable multiple product teams</strong> by creating reliable tooling, patterns, and processes that help UX Engineers and Full-Stack Engineers deliver consistent, accessible, well-structured UI across our ecosystem.</li><li><strong>Collaborate closely with UX Engineers on your team</strong>, reviewing implementation approaches, supporting component API design, and ensuring system contributions are stable, maintainable, and aligned with our design direction.</li><li><strong>Partner with Full-Stack Engineers across teams</strong> to understand their needs, reduce friction in adopting the system, and anticipate challenges related to build processes, versioning, and integration.</li><li><strong>Drive the evolution of the design system’s backend and platform architecture</strong>, including Rails-based services, token pipelines, and documentation tooling (Storybook).</li><li><strong>Manage cross-team impact (~25%)</strong>, coordinating system-wide improvements, facilitating migrations, and helping teams adopt new versions or patterns safely and predictably.</li><li><strong>Contribute to a clear, consistent release strategy</strong>, including semantic versioning, changelogs, beta releases, and automated testing that protects downstream teams.</li><li><strong>Identify opportunities to enhance the developer experience</strong>, from Storybook enhancements to scaffolding tools and automated validation of component usage.</li><li><strong>Support accessibility best practices</strong> by ensuring our system infrastructure and APIs enable UX Engineers to meet accessibility standards.</li><li><strong>Champion long-term system health</strong>, balancing extensibility with stability and helping guide decisions about what belongs in the system vs. product teams.</li></ul><div><strong><br>Who We Look For</strong></div><div>Strong full-stack engineering fundamentals are the foundation. But what sets this role apart is front-end sensibility. You should be comfortable with CSS, understand how design decisions translate into code, and care about the details that make interfaces feel right.
