**DriveNets is a leader in cloud-native networking software for Hyperscalers and service providers who are building the largest infrastructures in the world for network services and AI platforms. Founded in December 2015, DriveNets disrupted some of the most challenging high-scale markets, transforming the way Networks are built, scaled, and consumed. We also built the largest network in the world, with more than half of AT&T’s backbone running on DriveNets’ Network Cloud. DriveNets has raised $587 million in three funding rounds which enable us to dream big and bring on the most talented people.

**The Role

**We are looking for a Team Leader to head our Design System initiative within the Network Orchestration group. This group is responsible for developing scalable, high-performance distributed systems that support complex network infrastructures, and the Design System will play a central role in ensuring consistent, efficient, and accessible UI across our products. As the Design System Team Leader, you will own the vision, strategy, and delivery of our reusable component library. You will lead and mentor a team of developers, collaborate closely with designers, architects, and other engineering leaders, and drive the adoption of the Design System across the organization. This is both a strategic and hands-on role: you’ll guide architectural decisions, oversee technical direction, and ensure high-quality, maintainable code - while fostering an environment of innovation, collaboration, and excellence. Our group is growing, and you will play a key role in building and expanding the team. You'll have the opportunity to optimize and enhance key parts of our system, leveraging the latest tools and infrastructure to drive innovation and efficiency. We embrace an agile mindset – you should be comfortable with context switching, handling multiple priorities, and adapting quickly to changing requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Define the vision, roadmap, and priorities for the Design System, aligning with product and engineering goals.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of frontend developers, fostering a culture of collaboration, quality, and innovation.
• Own the delivery of the Design System - ensuring it meets performance, scalability, and accessibility requirements.
• Act as the primary advocate for the Design System across the company, driving awareness and adoption.
• Oversee the architecture, design, and implementation of reusable, scalable, and accessible UI components.
• Make high-impact technical and architectural decisions to guide the evolution of the Design System.
• Set coding standards, best practices, and review processes to ensure maintainable, high-quality code.
• Balance technical debt with feature delivery, ensuring long-term system sustainability.
• Partner closely with design teams to translate guidelines into robust, production-ready components.
• Collaborate with engineering managers and product teams to ensure the Design System supports diverse application needs.
• Communicate progress, risks, and priorities to stakeholders at all levels.
• Establish and enforce testing strategies for all components, including unit, integration, E2E, and visual regression testing.
• Ensure compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG/ARIA).
• Maintain comprehensive documentation using Storybook.
• Continuously improve development processes, workflows, and tooling.

Requirements

• Experience: 8+ years in frontend development, with at least 3+ years in a leadership role (managing teams of 4+ engineers). Proven track record leading design system or large-scale frontend platform initiatives.
• Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and React, including state management solutions (Redux, MobX, etc.). Expertise in design system principles (atomic design, tokens, theming, accessibility).
• Architecture & Performance: Skilled in optimizing frontend performance (lazy loading, tree shaking, bundle optimization). Strong understanding of DOM performance, minimizing reflows/repaints, and ensuring responsive UIs.
• Testing & Quality: Proficient in testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, Playwright). Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaboration & Communication: Excellent stakeholder management skills; able to work effectively with designers, engineers, and product teams. Ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Tooling Proficiency: Familiarity with modern frontend tooling (Webpack/Vite, TypeScript, CSS-in-JS). Hands-on experience with Storybook or equivalent documentation tools.

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating Design Systems with Figma or other design tools.
• Contributions to open-source component libraries or frameworks.
• Knowledge of design token pipelines and multi-brand theming strategies.
• Familiarity with Nx for monorepo management.
