Requirements
- 12+ years of professional product design experience, including several years owning and scaling design systems, with hands-on expertise in tokens, component architecture, libraries, and governance.
- Strong engineering fluency, including comfort working with TypeScript/React codebases, Storybook, and technical architecture discussions with engineers.
- Proven experience leading a production design-system migration or re-platforming initiative, including the ability to determine what should ship, what should be deferred, and why.
- Demonstrated experience designing AI-driven or agentic product experiences and a practical understanding of how AI is changing product design.
- Professional experience using AI-assisted tools, such as Claude Code, with the judgment to review, test, and validate AI-generated output before release.
- Proven ability to lead through influence in flat, complex, or ambiguous environments, establishing operating models and direction rather than simply following existing processes.
- Strong communication, collaboration, critical-thinking, and decision-making skills, with the ability to work effectively across design and engineering.
- Commitment to inclusive collaboration, candid communication, thoughtful critique, and creating an environment where people from diverse backgrounds can thrive.
Responsibilities
- Own the design system as a product, including design tokens, component libraries, documentation, code components, architecture, and adoption across converging product surfaces.
- Lead the migration of the component architecture to a modern stack, partnering with engineering to define scope, prioritize work, and deliver production-quality components.
- Establish durable governance covering versioning, contributions, releases, design-to-engineering handoffs, and shared definitions of done.
- Develop an AI-forward design practice by creating patterns, guidelines, tooling, and workflows for agentic product experiences.
- Design and ship AI-powered product experiences while ensuring patterns are reusable and scalable across the broader platform.
- Work directly in design and code, including production-stack prototyping, component implementation reviews, and technical architecture discussions.
- Use AI-assisted development and design tools such as Claude Code, critically reviewing and validating generated outputs before they reach production.
- Raise the quality bar across the senior design organization through critique, pairing, mentorship, and visible hands-on craft.
