Staff Product Engineer [Design Systems]

What is Attio?

CRMs are at the center of the software stack for millions of businesses. They're ubiquitous and totally essential, yet current products are completely archaic, unloved and in massive need of overhaul.
This is software that millions of people use for hours and hours a day – and a $50 billion category – yet you probably can't think of a single awesome piece of software in this space.
Attio is changing that. We’re building a radically new type of CRM that is incredibly flexible and as powerful as the most advanced CRM data models, but also as intuitive, delightful and collaborative as today’s best software.
Attio is the CRM of the future: a living, breathing platform that connects with a customer’s GTM stack and evolves with them as they grow – from zero to IPO and beyond.

Why is this role important?

We are hiring for an experienced Staff Product Engineer (E4) to lead the implementation, expansion and maintenance of our product Design System based on Radix UI.
Our Design System sits at the very heart of Attio’s industry leading user experience - empowering our teams to build world leading interfaces quickly, robustly and in a way that preserves accessibility.
We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience:
Building and maintaining Design Systems at product focused companies
Candidates with a deep expertise in React, Accessibility and Web Specifications
Engineers with excellent product and design sense

Whose Team will you join?

This role will lead a small team, reporting directly to the CTO, responsible for building and maintaining a design system. This person should expect to work across the engineering organisation to support and deliver new functionality in a visually consistent way as well as gathering and improving on feedback from the teams.

What is it like to work at Attio?

Attio employees are currently based in the US and Europe. We are all trusted to produce high quality work in the environment that works best for us.
Attio is for people who own their role, learn quickly, are endlessly curious and find happiness in delivering consistently brilliant outcomes that push the company forward. We love to work with people who are passionate about working this way and will do whatever it takes to get things done.
Kindness is evident in how we work and there is a high level of respect across the team thanks to working hard. This allows us all to challenge ideas, be independent and attract world class talent to join us.

What are the role requirements?

In this role, you will be expected to:
Build and maintain Attio’s Design System (based on Radix UI)
Possess a deep knowledge and experience of web technologies
Proactively contribute to the adoption and iteration of the design system within the product teams
Work across the Product Teams to ensure the appropriate use of the Design System across the product
Pioneer novel UI / UX paradigms to help unlock our most challenging features
