This is the job

As a German speaking Technical Lead – Pattern Library (f/m/x), you’ll join a long-term Avenga project for a banking client. Your mission: maintain, extend, and continuously evolve a pattern library system built with HTML, CSS, and TypeScript. The library supports scalable, accessible, and high-performance user interfaces across multiple products and teams. You’ll work closely with engineering, design, and product stakeholders to align technical strategy with business and design goals. The role is full-time, remote-friendly, and based in Germany.

This is you

• You speak German at a native level and have at least upper-intermediate English skills.

• You bring 7–10 years of experience in front-end engineering with a strong focus on scalable UI architecture and design systems.

• You have deep knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript (especially DOM manipulation), SCSS/CSS (BEM), and HTML.

• You’re experienced with theming methods and design tokens (e.g., Style Dictionary), and template languages like Handlebars.

• You’re confident with front-end build systems (Webpack), testing frameworks (Jest, Vitest, Cypress), and CI/CD pipelines.

• You understand accessibility (WCAG), performance optimization, and responsive design—and know how to deliver on them.

• You’re familiar with Figma (Developer Mode) and cross-browser/mobile testing, and you enjoy mentoring developers and coordinating technical roadmaps.

This is your role

• You define and evolve the technical strategy for the pattern library in alignment with product and design system goals.

• You lead the development, documentation, and maintenance of reusable UI components, tokens, and utilities.

• You implement governance models, contribution workflows, and release processes for components to ensure scalability across products and teams.

• You promote code quality, testing standards, and performance best practices, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

• You collaborate with designers to translate design tokens, Figma libraries, and accessibility requirements into production-ready code.

• You support product managers and stakeholders in balancing innovation with stability, acting as a trusted advisor during onboarding and adoption.

• You evaluate and integrate modern front-end tools (e.g., Webpack, Vite, Storybook), advocate for accessibility and internationalisation, and monitor industry trends to drive continuous improvement.
