• Collaborative approach to working with Design and Product on future projects
• Strong opinions loosely held

What Sets You Apart

• Experience building or contributing to a shared component library or design system
• Familiarity with backend APIs - you can read service contracts, have an informed conversation with backend engineers, and understand what's feasible
