Responsibilities:
- Design, build, test, and maintain reusable, accessible React/TypeScript components for the Unity React library (design tokens/tokenization, theming light/dark and density modes, composability, Storybook documentation).
- Build and advance AI-assisted/agentic developer workflows (Claude Code skills, MCP integrations such as Figma/Storybook, context/markdown files, prompt-to-code/design-to-code pipelines) for Unity-compliant UI delivery.
- Develop full-stack supporting services, front-end automation, and build/release/validation tooling using Python and Node.js (CI/CD, design-ops, compliance checks).
- Own end-to-end quality: automated tests, accessibility testing (WCAG 2.2 AA), cross-browser QA (Storybook, Axe, GitHub), and QA before release.
