- Define, maintain, and evolve components, patterns, and interaction standards that serve the full product surface.
- Partner closely with Engineering on system implementation, architecture decisions, and handoff processes.
- Proactively identify gaps by monitoring how the system is used across products, and close those gaps before they become workarounds.

What they're looking for
- 7+ years of experience in UX/product design, with at least 4 years focused on design systems

- Working knowledge of front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS)
- Experience dealing with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and how they inform component design and documentation.
- Strong systems thinking; you naturally see patterns, spot inconsistencies, and design for reuse.
- Demonstrated experience building and scaling a design system, ideally at a product company with multiple teams.
- Ability to balance consistency with flexibility; you know when to standardize and when to leave room for product judgment.
- Comfort working closely with Engineering, including familiarity with how design tokens, component libraries, and handoff tooling work in practice.
