Company Description
About AbbVie
AbbVie's mission is to discover and deliver innovative medicines and solutions that solve serious health issues today and address the medical challenges of tomorrow. We strive to have a remarkable impact on people's lives across several key therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology and neuroscience - and products and services in our Allergan Aesthetics portfolio.

Job Description
Unity is AbbVie's enterprise design system - the shared tokens, components, standards, and documentation that enable rapid, compliant, high-quality digital product delivery at scale. The Unity Design System team is transitioning Unity into a fully AI-enabled, agent-ready platform: AI-assisted design-to-code, Claude Code skills, MCP integrations, and AI-driven UI delivery, with humans in the loop to curate, approve, and evolve standards. This role sits on the developer-facing side of Unity. The person in this seat is a hands-on, full-stack-leaning engineer and the visible "face" of Unity development - building the React component library and developer tooling, pioneering agentic AI workflows, and serving the 600+ member developer community as a trusted, go-to resource.
Work collaboratively across the Unity Design System team, BTS, and AbbVie's developer and design communities to conceive, design, engineer, and deliver developer-facing components, tooling, and AI-assisted workflows that accelerate compliant, high-quality digital product delivery across the enterprise. Serve as a hands-on senior builder across the full stack - React/TypeScript components and design tokens, Python/Node.js services and automation, and agentic AI integrations - while operating autonomously: gathering requirements directly from developers, QA testing your own work, deploying, and closing fast feedback loops. Establish trust and credibility as the go-to resource for Unity development needs and act as the developer-facing face of the design system.
Responsibilities
  • Design, build, test, and maintain reusable, accessible React/TypeScript components for the Unity React library, with deep attention to design tokens/tokenization, theming (light/dark, density modes), composability, and Storybook documentation.
  • Build and pioneer AI-assisted and agentic developer workflows - Claude Code skills, MCP server integrations (Figma, Storybook), context/markdown files, and prompt-to-code / design-to-code pipelines - that enable both developers and AI agents to deliver Unity-compliant UI at scale. (Claude Code skills experience is required.)
  • 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 quality end-to-end: write and maintain automated tests, perform accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) and cross-browser QA using the team toolstack (Storybook, Axe, GitHub), and QA your own work before release.
  • Act as the developer-facing face of Unity - provide community support, outreach, and management; build relationships, run demos/office hours/presentations, and establish trust and credibility as the go-to resource for Unity development.
  • Work autonomously to gather and generate requirements directly from developer-community needs, translate them into actionable work, and communicate back to the team with quick feedback loops.
  • Contribute to Unity's data-visualization capabilities and support data-science-driven features, applying a data-science background and data-visualization experience where applicable.
  • Wear multiple hats and context-switch as a co-owner of team responsibilities across requirements, development, QA/testing, deployment, application development, community building, and presentations.
  • Stay current with state-of-the-art AI development and productivity tooling; pilot, evaluate, and roll out improvements (e.g., Storybook MCP, AI documentation, new productivity tools) across the team.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentor less-experienced staff; partner with designers, brand, accessibility, and BTS stakeholders; and adhere to corporate standards including code of conduct, data security, GxP compliance where applicable, and the software development lifecycle.

Qualifications
Required:
  • Bachelor's Degree with 6 years' experience; Master's Degree with 5 years' experience; or PhD with 0 years' experience.
  • Seasoned front-end engineer with expert React and TypeScript skills, strong HTML/CSS, and proven design-system / component-library development experience.
  • Strong understanding and awareness of design tokens / tokenization and scalable theming.
  • Hands-on agentic AI and AI-workflow development experience; demonstrated ability to build Claude Code skills (required) and AI-assisted developer tooling.
  • Backend and full-stack capability with Python and Node.js.
  • Proficiency with the team toolstack: Storybook, GitHub, and accessibility/WCAG testing tools (e.g., Axe).
  • Strong testing and QA discipline - consistently QAs own work.
  • Experience building products for a developer-facing audience, with the ability to "meet developers where they are."
  • Proven ability to work autonomously, generate and gather requirements, and operate with fast feedback loops while wearing multiple hats and co-owning responsibilities.
  • Excellent written and oral English communication; strong community outreach and relationship-building; a proactive, collaborative team player.

Preferred:
  • Developer skills beyond JS/React (e.g., Angular, additional languages/frameworks).
  • Data science background and data-visualization experience.
  • Front-end automation experience.
  • Familiarity with MCP servers (Figma MCP, Storybook MCP), Figma / Code Connect, and OutSystems.
  • Experience with developer relations (DevRel) and community management.
  • Mobile development experience (nice to have).
