Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) - Design System & Accessibility (x/f/m)

What you'll do

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Design System & Accessibility Team and help us become the #1 digital and secure medical companion for patients. 

We are part of the Platform domain, whose mission is to build and maintain the common building blocks of our system with a "Platform as a Product" mindset. We abstract and simplify the use of these complex, critical components, enabling product teams to focus on their core mission: building products faster for healthcare professionals and patients.

More specifically, you'll join a team of engineers working on advanced frontend development topics and helping spread state-of-the-art workflows and practices.

As a Frontend Platform team, we support and empower all other Doctolib Tech and Product teams to create accessible and best-in-class user experience frontend applications.

We achieve our mission by providing a web and mobile design system, by writing supporting tooling around it and the accessibility topic, and giving guidance as accessibility experts.

As a Senior Software Engineer, your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Design, build, and maintain a scalable React Design System built with TypeScript, ensuring a consistent, accessible, and high-performance user experience across Doctolib’s web and mobile applications.
• Collaborating with feature teams ensuring that the platform aligns with the needs and requirements of our developers.
• Work hand-in-hand with Product Designers to translate Figma designs into robust, reusable UI components, ensuring visual and functional parity between design and code.
• Champion accessibility (A11y) by embedding inclusive design principles into our Design System, developing accessible components, and providing guidance and tooling to help product teams build compliant and user-friendly experiences.
• Drive adoption and quality of the Design System by supporting teams, improving documentation, establishing usage guidelines, and gathering feedback to inform ongoing improvements.
• Contribute to the Design System’s technical vision and roadmap, identifying opportunities for automation, scalability, and innovation in UI development workflows.
• Leverage AI technologies to amplify the Design System’s adoption and developer experience (DevX), applying prompting and context engineering to create intelligent assistants, automation, and migration tools that help developers build user interfaces more efficiently.
• Occasionally extend your impact beyond the frontend, improving scripts, build processes, or CI workflows that support efficient delivery of the Design System.
