About the role

Role Overview

Roo is hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Frontend Platform to own the frontend platform—including the design system, shared UI architecture, developer tooling, AI-assisted workflows, and the technical foundation that helps teams build consistent, polished product experiences.

Responsibilities

Own the long-term technical direction of Roo’s frontend platform (systems, tooling, architecture) for development across web and mobile.
Partner with Product and Design to evolve the design system into a foundational platform rather than a standalone library.
Make the design system effortless to consume for engineers, designers, and AI agents via integrations, documentation, tooling, and developer workflows.
Lead platform initiatives such as:
- Framework upgrades
- React Native modernization
- Expo adoption
- Shared library evolution
Own migration from legacy components to the v2 design system, including tooling and documentation that enable self-serve migration.
Improve developer experience with shared tooling, automation, documentation, templates, and workflows that increase engineering velocity.
Identify and eliminate friction points (missing tokens, undocumented patterns, inconsistencies) and fix them systematically.

Requirements

Significant experience building production software, with a focus on frontend systems.
Strong full-stack fundamentals with deep expertise in React and TypeScript.
Comfortable building across the stack when needed: frontend, backend services, developer tooling, and platform infrastructure.
React Native / mobile experience.
Experience working with designers and modern design systems.
Comfortable working in Figma and understanding how design decisions map to scalable frontend architecture.
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude, or similar.

Nice-to-haves

Experience connecting design systems to prototyping tools, AI coding environments, or similar workflows.
