Backend Engineer

Join us in building the design infrastructure of the future.

Full-time · Remote 🌍

At Tokens Studio, we’re helping the world’s most advanced product teams manage and scale their Design Systems—powered by smart Design Tokens and a revolutionary visual Graph Engine. We’re loved by freelancers and adopted by enterprise teams from Adobe to EY. Now we’re growing fast and looking for a Backend Engineer to help shape the future of our platform.

If you love building highly interactive, powerful frontend experiences—and want to work at the forefront of design tooling—we’d love to meet you.

Trusted by the most iconic brands on the planet.

What you'll be working on

Tokens Studio is not your average design tool. We combine:

  • Studio – a visual interface for managing Design Tokens, building themes, and connecting designers with developers.

  • Graph Engine – a powerful engine that lets users define logic and relationships visually.

  • Plugin – our Figma plugin is the most advanced token tooling in the ecosystem.

You’ll work closely with our core engineering and design team to bring new features to life in our web app and Figma plugin, improve performance and usability, and continuously iterate on the core of what makes Tokens Studio magical.

Your role

  • Build intuitive, powerful UI components in React and TypeScript

  • Work with Figma APIs and web technologies to power our plugin and web interfaces

  • Collaborate with designers, backend developers, and product stakeholders to ship features users love

  • Maintain a high-quality codebase and help define our frontend architecture

  • Champion performance, accessibility, and usability best practices

This is You

We’re looking for someone who’s excited about tools, systems, and pushing the limits of what’s possible in the browser. You might be a fit if you:

  • Have 3+ years experience with React, TypeScript, and modern web tooling

  • Are comfortable working on complex stateful interfaces (bonus if you've worked on design tools or editors)

  • Know how to balance beautiful code with real-world pragmatism

  • Enjoy collaborating in a remote-first, async-friendly environment

  • Care deeply about the user experience and love to sweat the details

Experience with Figma Plugin development, Canvas/WebGL, or design token tooling? Big plus!

What we offer

  • A key role in a fast-growing team shaping the future of design infrastructure

  • Remote-first work with flexible hours (our team is spread across the planet)

  • Competitive compensation and equity

  • Time and space to build deep, meaningful work

  • The opportunity to work directly with top design system teams around the world

About Tokens Studio

Tokens Studio began as a Figma Plugin and grew into a platform used by thousands of teams to scale and automate their Design Systems. We’re developers, designers, and builders who believe Design Tokens are the foundation of scalable, consistent product development.

Till now we’ve built everything ourselves—no VC funding, no shortcuts. Just a clear vision, deep technical craft, and a close connection to our community. That independence lets us move fast, stay focused, and build things the right way.
