YOUR MISSION
At Doctolib, we're building digital health solutions used by more than 90 million patients and 520,000 healthcare professionals across Europe. The quality, consistency, and accessibility of our interfaces are critical to that mission. That's exactly what our Design System team makes possible.
As Engineering Manager of the Design System team, you will lead the engineering efforts behind Oxygen, Doctolib's design system. Oxygen goes far beyond a component library: it is the infrastructure that ensures design quality at scale and delivers our brand identity consistently across an AI-first development environment. With over 50 designers and several hundred engineers building across multiple markets and product surfaces, your work directly shapes the experience of every user who interacts with Doctolib.
Working at the intersection of Design and Engineering, you will partner with designers, product managers, and engineers to turn our Design System vision into scalable technical solutions that power consistent, high-quality user interfaces across all Doctolib products.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Define your team's vision, strategy, and roadmap alongside your Product partner, bringing strong technical perspectives to shape and challenge priorities, and take end-to-end ownership of engineering delivery and quality.
- Lead the technical design, development, and evolution of Oxygen, ensuring its components and foundations are accessible, robust, reusable, and scalable across our products.
- Champion an AI-first approach, exploring and scaling AI-powered tools and workflows that help designers and engineers build high-quality user interfaces more efficiently.
- Establish and promote UI and accessibility engineering best practices, working closely with designers, product teams, and our accessibility specialist to drive adoption across the organization.
- Drive technical alignment across engineering teams, fostering collaboration and ensuring the Design System integrates seamlessly across our web and mobile ecosystems.
- Coach, mentor, and develop your engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.
