About This Role
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer (Design System) who thinks at a system level and understands how to create a scalable UI ecosystem that spans multiple products, teams, and platforms. You are not just designing static screens; you are building the foundation of our product user interfaces. In this role, you will take full ownership of our component libraries, interaction models, and cross-platform design consistency. You will act as the bridge between design and engineering, ensuring that our visual assets translate seamlessly into clean, reusable, and accessible production code.
Responsibilities
• UI Craft & Visual Excellence: Maintain an exceptionally high standard for layout, typography, colour, spacing, visual hierarchy, and overall digital finish across all reusable elements.
• Component Architecture: Design, build, and maintain robust component libraries (buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, forms, tables, etc.) that scale seamlessly across products.
• Interaction & Motion Design: Define interactive behaviors and state transitions (e.g., hover, focus, disabled, loading, and mobile behaviors) to ensure components feel alive and intuitive.
• Design Token Management: Structure and maintain design tokens (colours, spacing, typography, border-radius, shadows) to drive consistency between design environments and code.
• Figma Library Architecture: Organize complex variants, properties, and components within Figma to empower other product designers to build quickly and accurately.
• Engineering Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering teams to navigate technical constraints across Web, React, Flutter, Android, and iOS/Native app environments.
• Documentation & Governance: Create clear, comprehensive usage guidelines and documentation outlining when, why, and how components should (and should not) be used.
Experience & Background
• Proven Design System Track Record: Extensive experience building, scaling, and maintaining production-ready design systems rather than just standalone product features.
• Cross-Platform Expertise: Deep understanding of the constraints and guidelines governing multiple platforms, including Web, iOS, and Android.
• Systems-Thinking Mindset: A portfolio demonstrating how individual design decisions impact multiple products, scale sustainably, and optimize designer/engineer workflows.
• Front-End Alignment: Strong familiarity with how developers inspect, build, and consume components in code repositories.
