About the Role

We are looking for a systems thinker with strong visual design skills, exceptional attention to detail, and a passion for creating scalable experiences. You thrive on collaboration, bring clarity to complexity, and influence teams through thoughtful solutions. Naturally curious and proactive, you continuously seek opportunities to improve how teams work, stay ahead of emerging trends in design systems, and enable others to create consistent, high-quality user experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain reusable design system foundations, components, patterns, templates, and documentation that enable consistent, accessible, high-quality user experiences.
  • Contribute to evolving the design system into AI infrastructure.
  • Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to identify reusable opportunities and evolve the design system to support emerging product needs.
  • Review and guide design system contributions from product designers, ensuring a high standard of quality.
  • Champion the design system by educating and enabling teams, driving adoption, gathering feedback, and continuously improving the system.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in Product Design, including at least 2 years of dedicated, hands-on experience designing and evolving design systems.
  • Proven experience building and maintaining design systems, with a track record of solving complex design challenges through scalable solutions.
  • Strong visual and UI design skills with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including library management, complex component architecture, and variables.
  • Strong systems thinking with the ability to translate product needs into reusable patterns and scalable solutions.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a proven ability to work effectively across Design, Engineering, and Product teams.
  • Experience collaborating with engineers to bring design system components from concept to implementation. Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, Git, and Visual Studio Code is a plus.
  • Self-motivated, collaborative, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating your design process, problem-solving approach, outcomes, and measurable impact is required.

Nice to Have

  • Experience designing accessible experiences and familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG).
  • Experience with motion design and interaction design.

We believe the best ideas and innovation happen when we are together. Employees in this role will work in the office four days, with the flexibility to work remotely one day (Friday).
