By putting them into action, you’ll help us scale faster, compete harder, and lead the future of global work. What Makes You a Great Fit Design systems are infrastructure. They determine how fast teams move, how consistent the product feels, and how much trust users place in every interaction. We're looking for a designer who understands this deeply — someone who brings both systems-level thinking and exceptional craft to the work. In this role, you'll own and evolve our design system end-to-end: the component library, the token architecture, the documentation, and the workflows that connect design to production. You'll work in close partnership with engineering and product to ensure the system scales across web and mobile surfaces — and that it stays useful, adoptable, and ahead of the curve as our product and tooling landscape evolves. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role. You'll shape the shared language that every product team works from, and influence how designers and engineers across the org build together. How You'll Make an Impact: - Own the architecture, strategy, and evolution of the design system — components, tokens, patterns, and documentation — across web and mobile surfaces - Design and ship production-ready components with a high bar for craft: well-defined states, variants, interaction models, responsiveness, and accessibility baked in from the start - Partner closely with frontend engineering to ensure system decisions translate cleanly into code — with shared ownership of quality, parity, and maintainability - Create clear, opinionated documentation and usage guidance: best practices, anti-patterns, decision frameworks, and contribution standards that teams can act on immediately - Build and maintain governance models that balance system integrity with the speed product teams need - Conduct regular audits to identify inconsistencies, gaps, and opportunities to improve component coverage and design-to-code parity - Lead the evaluation and integration of AI-powered design tooling — including Figma AI, MCP integrations, StoryBook MCP and generative workflows — into how the system is built and consumed - Anticipate shifts in the product, platform, and tooling landscape, and evolve the system proactively towards an agentic workflow. Let’s Connect If You Have: - 7+ years of product design experience, with at least 3 years owning or significantly contributing to a design system at a product company - An outstanding portfolio demonstrating systems-level thinking, component craft, and real impact at scale - Extraordinary visual design taste — a rigorous, opinionated eye for typography, color, spacing, and interaction quality that raises the bar across every surface - Expert-level Figma skills: component architecture, variables, tokens, auto-layout, and the discipline to keep a shared library production-aligned - Comfort working across the design-to-code workflow — you know your way around design tokens, Storybook, and GitHub, and can collaborate closely with engineers on implementation - Strong understanding of front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS, React or equivalent) and how design decisions translate into code - Knowledge of accessibility standards and a commitment to inclusive design baked into every component by default - Strong written communication skills — you write documentation that is clear, opinionated, and easy to act on - Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing senior stakeholders on system strategy and investment Bonus Points - Experience integrating AI tools into design and development workflows — AI-assisted prototyping, automated component generation, design-to-code pipelines - Background building or contributing to open-source design systems - Familiarity with design-to-code automation tools and AI-driven product development workflows - External thought leadership through writing, speaking, or open-source contributions in the design systems space - Experience in enterprise SaaS, fintech, or other complex, data-dense product environments Why This Role Matters A strong design system isn't just a component library — it's a force multiplier. It's what lets teams move faster without sacrificing quality. It's what keeps a product feeling coherent as complexity grows. And in an era where AI tools are increasingly part of the design and development workflow, a well-structured system becomes the foundation everything else is built on.
