Product Designer - Design Systems

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Co-own the Design Language System and drive its evolution and adoption to ensure high-quality, consistent product experiences
• Collaborate closely with designers, engineers, researchers, and cross-functional stakeholders to improve how teams design and build day-to-day
• Design, build, and document components, patterns, libraries, and guidelines that enable scalable and consistent experiences
• Define and implement frameworks, processes, and governance models to maximize effective usage of the Design System
• Partner with designers and engineers to identify gaps, solve system-level challenges, and scale the system for long-term sustainability
• Act as a strong advocate for design systems, driving awareness and adoption across the organization
• Leverage AI-powered tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, and similar) to prototype, automate workflows, and accelerate design system development
• Bridge design and engineering by building lightweight tools, scripts, or prototypes that improve efficiency and system adoption
• Explore and integrate emerging AI workflows to enhance how design systems are created, maintained, and scaled
• Identify and implement opportunities to reduce manual effort through automation, improving speed, quality, and consistency
• SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES FOR SUCCESS:
• Proven ability to collaborate deeply with Design, Engineering, and cross-functional partners to build impactful design systems and tooling
• Strong design craft with a keen eye for detail and a solid foundation in typography, composition, color, layout, and interaction design
• Systems thinking mindset — ability to design holistically rather than focusing on one-off solutions
• High proficiency in Figma, with working knowledge of Git and modern front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript or similar frameworks)
• Inclination toward design engineering, with the ability to translate design concepts into functional prototypes or code
• Proactive approach to leveraging AI as a core skill for building, problem-solving, and accelerating workflows
• Hands-on experience or strong interest in AI-assisted tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) and modern development workflows
• Comfort experimenting with emerging technologies and continuously evolving ways of working
• Ability to build lightweight tools, automations, or plugins to improve team efficiency and workflows
• Understanding of accessibility and inclusive design principles; experience building tools or plugins is a plus
• PREFERRED EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:
• 3-6 years of relevant Product Design experience, with a proven, solid, up-to-date technical understanding of best practices, developments, trends, limits & constraints of mobile and web software development
• 2+ year(s) experience of architecting / building / implementing / documenting / maintaining Design Systems at scale
