Overview

GitHub is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Primer Engineering team to help evolve GitHub's open source design system, Primer (https://primer.style/) . Primer Product maintainers play a vital role in ensuring GitHub's UI is consistent and accessible by supporting the implementation and adoption of reusable design patterns across the product.

In this role, you'll work with a distributed, diverse, and passionate community of engineers and designers to design, prototype, implement, and ship highly performant user experiences. You'll focus on the details: crafting open source and inner source component libraries and developer tooling that make it easier for product teams to build high-quality UI with Primer, from designing balanced component APIs to maturing components for stable release. You'll also partner with product engineers to surface and upstream common patterns and coach Primer adoption as net-new projects and UI patterns move from conception to launch.

We're looking for creative problem solvers and diverse thinkers who care about culture as much as they care about customers and features. If you enjoy the challenge of building design systems at scale while delivering an equally empowering end user and developer experience, the Primer Engineering team might be the place for you. Great products reflect the teams that build them.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teammates to define and implement innovative UX solutions and advance UI quality.

• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, pairing opportunities, and code reviews to encourage the growth of others and enable broad contribution to the design system.

• Write architecture briefs and proposals to guide the future of the design system's technical health and growth, and directly serve the needs of feature team consumers.

• Design and implement well-reasoned component APIs to facilitate seamless integration between software components.

• Own and advocate for the health and quality of the systems that the team builds, including participating in on-call and first responder rotations.

• Become intimately familiar with the systems you build and take pride in writing maintainable code and supporting what the team has built, and contribute to high-quality documentation and technical maintenance of our docs site (https://primer.style/) .

• Partner with feature teams developing new features to share expertise on reusable UI components and coach Primer adoption as projects move from conception to launch, with a view toward growing the feature team's systems thinking practices.

• Leverage AI to build, maintain, and automate our systems, scale contribution, and ensure agents and humans alike can build UI successfully with Primer.
