• Build reusable components, libraries, and documentation that support the work of product teams
• Take part in the creation and maintenance of design systems
• Communicate with other teams, providing support, identifying pain points, and proposing solutions for their UI needs
• Advocate for web best practices, such as accessibility, semantics, performance and user experience

What We're Looking For
• Deep knowledge of CSS, HTML, JavaScript, TypeScript and front-end frameworks like React
• Experience building component libraries and writing documentation
• Good understanding of web accessibility patterns and guidelines
• You're user-focused, passionate, scrappy, solutions-focused, and innovative. These traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do.
