Description

About GetInsured :

GetInsured is building a next-generation health exchange platform that has already helped 1 in 10 uninsured adults access coverage. Our mission is to deliver inclusive, intuitive user experiences that make complex enrollment tasks simple and human-centered.

We're seeking a UX Engineer - someone who sits at the intersection of design and engineering. In this role, you'll focus on design-to-code systems, creating the infrastructure, tooling, and component libraries that enable UI developers to build faster, more consistent, and more accessible experiences at scale.

This is not a typical front-end developer role. Instead, you'll own the connective tissue between design and code : design tokens, component libraries, documentation, and accessibility standards that drive our design system forward.

Key Responsibilities :

• Work closely with designers to translate design language into code via reusable components, tokens, and patterns.
• Ensure the correct usage of design system components across codebase.
• Work with frontend developers to ensure frontend code adheres to the design system and is responsive to different device sizes.
• Implement and maintain a design system on Storybook that needs to be configurable for all of GetInsured's products.
• Provide tooling and documentation that empower UI developers to use the design system (UI library) effectively.
• Ensure accessibility (WCAG 2.2 / Section 508) is built into every component by default.
• Establish and maintain design-to-code workflows (Figma components, prototyping pipelines, automated documentation).
• Contribute to performance, maintainability, and consistency of front-end code across teams.
• Advocate for UX best practices in code reviews, design reviews, and cross-functional discussions.
• We are not providing visa sponsorships for this position.

Who You Are :

You started out building the web by hand - clean HTML, bulletproof CSS, and a sharp eye for the details that make an interface feel right. Over time, you became the person who could bridge design and code : turning style guides into living components, creating systems that scale, and making sure accessibility is baked in from the start. You're just as comfortable wrangling JavaScript as you are perfecting a responsive layout - but you lean toward the visual craft of UI development, keeping things polished and pixel-perfect.

You might recognize yourself in some of these :
