What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff iOS Accessibility Engineer, UI Systems Job at block.xyz in California position at block.xyz?
Staff iOS Accessibility Engineer, UI Systems
Remote
Bay Area, CA, US
The Role
UI Systems builds Square’s universal design system, Market. Market is deployed across all of Square’s seller-facing products on iOS, Android, and web. This includes our flagship products Point of Sale, Square Register, and Square Terminal. Put simply, this team builds the public face of Square.
We’re not only building a design system; our mandate is wider than that : UI Systems is also building the core UI frameworks and tools needed to make building, testing, and maintaining UI easy and fast at scale : We’re supporting almost 200 iOS engineers and 1500 screens across Square’s iOS teams. UI Systems’ accessibility squad (where this role will live!) also supports accessibility needs across Square’s products and surfaces.
As an engineer on the UI Systems team, you’ll be expected to partner closely with our design team to inform and deliver components and tools that help Square’s product engineers work faster while ensuring a quality experience for Square’s sellers. You’ll also function as a translator of sorts – identifying needs and missing pieces and bringing them to UI Systems to push the entire design system forward.
You Will
- Build the core UI frameworks and design tooling needed to deploy, maintain, and test our design system at scale (we have 1500 screens across our products). As a staff engineer on the accessibility squad, you’ll do this with a particular focus on accessibility of all kinds.
- Work closely with designers on UI systems, and across Square, to build a scalable and accessible design system for our mobile apps.
- Work with all engineers on UI systems across Android, iOS, and web to ensure we’re building in a consistent and cohesive way on all three platforms.
- Embed with Square’s product teams to evangelize and adopt our design system, core frameworks, accessibility, and design tools.
- Provide courteous, timely support to product engineers building with the design system, answering their questions, and building missing pieces to unblock and support their needs.
You Have
We’re working to build a more inclusive economy where our customers have equal access to opportunity, and we strive to live by these same values in building our workplace.
