We are seeking a Product Designer to join our design system team, focused on enabling world-class digital experiences through scalable, flexible, and user-centered systems. This designer will play a key role in evolving the design system to support mobile app redesign initiatives.
The role requires expert-level Figma skills—building, maintaining, and innovating with precision—along with a strong understanding of how design systems connect across mobile and web platforms. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing for iOS and Android apps, thrives with a systems-oriented mindset, and collaborates effectively with engineering teams. Development literacy is a plus, as this position works closely with developers to ensure seamless translation from design to code.
This position reports to the Product Design Manager and combines hands-on system building with strategic thinking, enabling designers across the organization to work faster, smarter, and more consistently.
Figma Mastery: Build and maintain component libraries, tokens, variables, and workflows. Push Figma to its limits to create reliable, scalable assets.
System Governance: Define contribution, maintenance, and versioning models to keep the system stable, trusted, and evolving.
Cross-Platform Design: Ensure patterns and components translate seamlessly across iOS, Android, and web.
Engineering Collaboration: Partner closely with developers to align tokens, variables, and troubleshoot implementation challenges.
Innovation & Evolution: Anticipate and integrate emerging Figma capabilities, plugins, and industry best practices.
Research Partnership: Collaborate with UX research to validate new components, patterns, and accessibility standards.
Enablement & Training: Lead workshops, onboarding sessions, and office hours to support adoption across design and engineering teams.
Consistency & Brand Alignment: Ensure evolving brand identity is reflected across design system assets and digital products.
Facilitate workshops, brainstorms, and critiques to inform UX direction.
Support usability testing, A/B testing, analytics reviews, and competitive audits.
Assess and improve the usability of new and existing features.
Advocate for accessibility, consistency, and usability standards.
Proactively identify roadblocks and drive solutions with minimal oversight.
Help onboard new team members, model best practices, and contribute to team rituals.
Stay informed on eCommerce trends, mobile UX best practices, and industry behaviors.
5–7 years in UX/UI or product design roles, with at least 2 years in design systems.
Strong portfolio showcasing system-level thinking and mobile app design (iOS & Android).
BS/BA in Design, HCI, or related field preferred.
Expert-level Figma skills (complex components, libraries, variables, workflows).
Familiarity with front-end concepts (HTML, CSS, JavaScript frameworks, design tokens, component-driven development).
Proven ability to collaborate with developers, product managers, and cross-functional teams.
Strong communication skills to articulate design intent and system rationale.
Experience with research-informed design and accessibility standards.
Strong organizational, time management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to lead projects independently.
Passion for design systems and driving impact at scale.
