GetInsured
Overview
GetInsured is building a next-generation health exchange platform that has already helped 1 in 10 uninsured adults access coverage. Our mission is to deliver inclusive, intuitive user experiences that make complex enrollment tasks simple and human-centered. We’re seeking a UX Engineer — someone who sits at the intersection of design and engineering. In this role, you’ll focus on design-to-code systems, creating the infrastructure, tooling, and component libraries that enable UI developers to build faster, more consistent, and more accessible experiences at scale. This is not a typical front-end developer role. You’ll own the connective tissue between design and code: design tokens, component libraries, documentation, and accessibility standards that drive our design system forward. Base pay range $110,000.00/yr - $160,000.00/yr 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 codebase. Work with frontend developers to ensure frontend code adheres to the design system and is responsive to different device sizes. Implement and maintain a design system on Storybook that needs to be configurable for all of 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. Qualifications
4+ years of experience in UX engineering or design-system-focused front-end roles. 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
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. Seniority level
Mid-Senior level Employment type
