Requirements
- 7+ years of significant visual and product design experience.
- Substantial experience specifically focused on design systems work, taking systems from audit through architecture to adoption.
- Deep fluency in token architecture (primitive, semantic, and component tokens).
- Mastery of Figma as a systems tool, including variables, libraries, and modes.
- Proven ability to leverage AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate design and documentation workflows.
- Ability to influence without authority across a federated, domain-based organization.
- Comfort operating in 0-to-1 environments where structure does not yet exist.
- Strong understanding of design systems as a product rather than just a deliverable.
Responsibilities
- Audit existing component libraries and live product experiences using AI tools to map gaps and inconsistencies.
- Drive the token architecture (primitive, semantic, and component tokens) as the single source of truth for design and code.
- Establish and maintain Figma-to-code parity by partnering with engineering on token-to-implementation pipelines.
- Define and implement contribution models and governance, including versioning, quality bars, and automated guardrails.
- Introduce new components and patterns thoughtfully to support growth across diverse product domains.
- Advocate for accessibility in components using automated testing and AI-assisted audits.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and domain designers to ensure the system serves as the easiest path to a cohesive, on-brand experience.
