Vimo
Overview
Role: UX Engineer — Design Systems at Vimo. Location: Mountain View, CA. Salary: $110,000 – $160,000 per year. Key Responsibilities
Work closely with designers to translate design language into code via reusable components, tokens, and patterns. Ensure the correct usage of design system components across the codebase. Collaborate with frontend developers to ensure frontend code adheres to the design system and is responsive across devices. Implement and maintain a design system on Storybook that is configurable for GetInsured’s products. Provide tooling and documentation that empower UI developers to use the design system (UI library) effectively. Ensure accessibility (WCAG 2.2 / Section 508) is built into every component by default. Establish and maintain 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 reviews, design reviews, and cross‑functional discussions. Note: We are not providing visa sponsorships for this position. Qualifications
4+ years of experience in UX engineering or design-system‑focused front-end roles. Proficiency in HTML, CSS (Sass/SCSS), and JavaScript/TypeScript, with strong React experience. Strong experience with design systems and component libraries — building and scaling them in Storybook, maintaining tokens (CSS variables, Style Dictionary, Tokens Studio), and publishing packages (npm, monorepos). Familiarity with design tools (Figma, Zeplin) and handoff processes. Understanding of digital accessibility, testing with tools like axe DevTools, NVDA, JAWS, and Lighthouse. Experience with semantic HTML and responsive design patterns. Comfortable with Git workflows, CI/CD, and documenting components for developer adoption. Understanding of usability principles and how design decisions affect implementation. Bonus Points
Contributions to public design systems (e.g., USWDS, Material UI, Carbon, Lightning) or open-source libraries. Experience integrating design tokens pipelines into CI/CD workflows. Familiarity with testing frameworks for components (Storybook test runners, Jest, Cypress). Knowledge of AI‑assisted design‑to‑code tools (v0.dev, Locofy, Anima, Cursor). Exposure to regulated or civic‑tech environments (federal/state apps, compliance frameworks). Who You Are
You started out building the web by hand — clean HTML, bulletproof CSS, and a sharp eye for the details that make an interface feel right. Over time, you became the person who could bridge design and code: turning style guides into living components, creating systems that scale, and making sure accessibility is baked in from the start. You’re just as comfortable wrangling JavaScript as you are perfecting a responsive layout — but you lean toward the visual craft of UI development, keeping things polished and pixel‑perfect. You Might Recognize Yourself In Some Of These
A CSS expert who enjoys solving tricky styling challenges and scaling them across teams. A design systems builder who knows tokens, components, and documentation are the real multipliers of quality. A visual problem-solver who leans into precision and polish, without losing sight of usability and accessibility. A bridge-builder who works smoothly with designers, engineers, and product folks alike. A craftsperson who takes pride in clean, reusable, and well-documented work. Details
