Design Systems Engineer

Halliburton Energy Services, Houston, TX, United States


We are looking for the right people — people who want to innovate, achieve, grow and lead. We attract and retain the best talent by investing in our employees and empowering them to develop themselves and their careers. Experience the challenges, rewards and opportunity of working for one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the global energy industry.

About the Role
Halliburton is building a next-generation user experience platform to unify design, engineering, and intelligent systems across a global portfolio of enterprise applications.

This platform extends beyond a traditional design system. It establishes a scalable foundation for UI development across multiple frameworks, while enabling AI-assisted and AI-generated interfaces that remain consistent, governed, and production-ready.

We are seeking a Design Systems Engineer to define and scale this foundation. You will architect how design tokens, components, and interaction models flow from design tools into production code—and how emerging AI systems integrate into that pipeline.

This role sits at the intersection of frontend engineering, design systems, and AI-enabled development. We are intentionally looking for candidates who can bridge these domains.

Job Duties

Build and scale design token infrastructure, including transformation, versioning, and distribution

Develop integrations between design tools, codebases, and AI-assisted tooling

Define and implement systems for AI-generated UI, ensuring outputs align with system standards and production requirements

Integrate tools such as Claude, Figma AI capabilities, and code generation systems into workflows

Build and maintain automation pipelines (CI/CD) for:

Token synchronization

Component publishing

System validation and regression detection

Enable multi-framework support (Angular, React, and others) through shared architecture

Develop internal tooling (CLI, APIs, IDE integrations) to improve developer experience

Establish mechanisms to ensure design, code, and AI outputs remain aligned over time

Partner closely with designers and engineers to evolve the platform based on real product usage

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience

6–10+ years of experience in frontend engineering, design systems, or platform development

Demonstrated experience building or contributing to design systems, token architectures, or UI platforms

Experience working with scalable systems, APIs, or automation pipelines

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with Figma APIs, plugins, or design tooling ecosystems

Experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, or system infrastructure

Familiarity with multi-framework UI architecture

Experience collaborating deeply with both design and engineering teams

Experience using or integrating LLMs (e.g., Claude, GPT) into development or design workflows

Understanding of how to structure systems for AI-assisted or AI-generated UI

Ability to design guardrails, validation layers, and synchronization mechanisms for AI-generated outputs

Hands‑on experience or strong interest in emerging tools for generative design and development

What Sets You Apart

Ability to operate comfortably across design and engineering domains

Experience building design-to-code pipelines at scale

Strong systems thinking and ability to connect tools, workflows, and platforms

Curiosity and initiative in exploring new technologies and ways of working

Additional Information
We welcome candidates from both engineering and design backgrounds who have developed strong technical expertise in design systems, tooling, and frontend development. This role requires the ability to bridge disciplines and build systems that scale across teams and technologies.
