You will guide the evolution of our styling strategy to meet new global standards and support emerging AI initiatives.

What you’ll do

+ Partner with interaction and visual designers to translate complex concepts into reusable, production-ready CSS.

+ Build and maintain theming layers to provide a unified experience across the Red Hat portfolio.

+ Implement accessible code patterns that meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

+ Collaborate with upstream open source communities to align visuals and reduce engineering effort across product teams.

+ Review code contributions from the community to ensure they meet the system’s standards for performance and maintainability.

+ Guide the adoption of PatternFly across distributed product teams to prevent user interface fragmentation.

What you’ll bring

+ Proficient at building complex layouts and components using modern CSS, including Custom Properties, Grid, and Flexbox.

+ Competent in using CSS pre-processors like Sass or PostCSS to manage large-scale design systems.

+ Exceptional attention to detail when translating visual designs into functional code.

+ Solid understanding of web accessibility standards and how to implement them in a component library.

+ Expert communication skills for collaborating with globally distributed designers and engineers.

+ Direct experience with component-driven development in environments like React or Web Components is a plus.

+ Familiarity with Git and open source development workflows is a plus.

+ Practical experience working within an Agile framework is a plus.

+ Proficiency in utilizing LLMs (e.g., Google Gemini), as relevant, for tasks such as brainstorming solutions, deep research, summarizing technical documentation, drafting communications, summarizing complex technical information, and enhancing problem-solving efficiency across the development lifecycle.

+ Comfort proactively using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) for code generation, auto-completion, and intelligent suggestions to accelerate development cycles and enhance code quality.

+ Willingness to explore and experiment with emerging AI technologies relevant to software development. Proactively identify opportunities to incorporate new AI capabilities into existing workflows and tooling.
