Frontend Product Software Engineer, Design Systems

A Software Engineer role in Dropbox's Design Systems team focused on UI infrastructure, design systems, and AI-native workflows to improve product development speed, quality, and consistency.

Location: Remote - Mexico

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and evolve UI components and primitives that power Dropbox’s design system, enabling scalable and consistent product development.
• Design and build AI-powered tooling and agent-driven workflows that accelerate design-to-code processes and improve developer productivity.
• Partner closely with designers to translate design intent into high-quality, reusable code, while also shaping how AI can assist or automate parts of this workflow.
• Contribute to the architecture and strategy of AI-native UX development, including the integration of LLMs, agents, and automation into internal tooling.
• Prototype and productionize new concepts that explore the future of design systems.
• Ensure accessibility and inclusivity by embedding WCAG standards and best practices into both components and AI-assisted workflows.
• Write clear, scalable documentation for both human and AI consumers (e.g., enabling agents to effectively use the design system).
• Collaborate in code reviews, design critiques, and technical discussions to continuously raise the quality bar.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues from internal teams, improving system reliability and usability.
• Drive experimentation and evaluation of emerging AI technologies, translating insights into practical improvements in tooling and workflows.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in front-end development, including experience contributing to or maintaining a design system or shared UI platform.
• Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with deep experience in modern frameworks (e.g., React) and component-driven development.
• Demonstrated experience building scalable, maintainable front-end architecture for complex applications.
• Hands-on experience integrating or building with AI/ML-powered tools (e.g., LLM APIs, agent frameworks, or automation pipelines) in a development workflow.
• Solid understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG, ARIA) and how to implement them in reusable systems.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners (design, product, engineering) and communicate technical concepts clearly.
