The listing
The UX Systems Engineer position is an opportunity for someone with a software engineering background to work within the UX / Product Design group. This role will own and build the systems, rules, and tools that enable AI-assisted workflows to generate product experience outputs that are close to production-ready - not just visually consistent, but well-structured, efficient, and thoughtfully integrated into existing product workflows.
This rotation is ideal for someone who wants to drive meaningful change across teams, expand their UX and systems skills, and help define how the client creates high-quality product experiences at AI scale.
Location: Colombia only - 100% Remote. Working hours are based between the CST and EST time zones.
About Us:

Founded by U.S.-bred engineers with over 15 years of experience, Abstra specializes in sourcing skilled professionals across a wide range of technologies to meet our clients’ needs, driving innovation and efficiency.
What you'll do:
- Own and evolve reusable UX systems that support high-quality product experiences.
- Create machine-readable and human-readable guidance for components, page templates, user flows, interaction patterns, content guidance, accessibility rules, and UX standards.
- Partner with Product Design to turn UX expectations into practical patterns, guardrails, and tools that AI-assisted workflows and engineering teams can apply.
- Develop tooling, prompts, skills, plugins, rules, or other mechanisms that improve the quality and completeness of AI-generated product experience outputs.
- Proactively find and fix gaps in our design system, documentation, tooling, and UX standards as teams adopt AI-assisted workflows.
- Work directly with engineering teams to understand how they use UX systems and AI-assisted tooling, what works, what breaks down, and what needs to be built next.
- Help define where AI-assisted workflows should be trusted, where human review is required, and how teams should evaluate experience quality.
- Create feedback loops between UX and engineering so improvements are driven by real usage, not theory.
What you'll need:
- Software engineering experience and the ability to build tools, write code, and understand how product teams ship interfaces.
- Strong systems thinking and comfort turning ambiguous UX expectations into clear, reusable structures.
- A drive to enable AI-assisted product development through better systems, constraints, tooling, and quality checks.
- Interest in product design, user experience, accessibility, and design systems.
- Ability to think beyond screens and components to the full user flow, including sequence, logic, simplicity, content, and fit within the broader product experience.
- Strong communication skills across teams and departments.
- Willingness to learn UX principles and apply them thoughtfully in practical, production-minded ways.
- Hands-on experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, and React in production environments. Our current technology stack also includes Java, React 19, Radix Themes, Redux Toolkit, and UI-Router.
What We Offer:
- Competitive compensation paid in USD.
- 20 days of paid time off (PTO) per year.
- Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
- Company-provided equipment.
- A collaborative, inclusive, and multicultural work environment.
- The opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects alongside a talented and supportive team.
