Job Description

Bring Knapsack’s design system intelligence to life through functional, expressive, and scalable front-end code. This is a hybrid role — part engineer, part designer — for someone who lives in that rare middle space where aesthetics meet implementation. You’ll work alongside product designers, engineers, and system architects to prototype intelligent interfaces, contribute to reusable UI components, and help define the connective tissue between design artifacts and live product. Depending on your strengths and the evolution of the product, you might: Prototype intelligent UI concepts that combine data, interaction, and system logic, build and maintain a library of design system components, tokens, and documentation, translate Figma designs and design system logic into usable, scalable code (likely in React) collaborate with prompt strategists and engineers to prototype interaction models for our AI agents. Help shape how design tokens, component metadata, and system structure are ingested and represented in our platform. Work across product and design to ensure interaction fidelity and implementation consistency and build tools and utilities that make it easier to design and build with intelligence baked in. This isn’t just a front-end job. It’s a systems role at the intersection of design, engineering, and intelligence. The work you do will help define how structured design inputs fuel intelligent interfaces — not just in our product, but in the tools our users build.
