NewStaff Design Engineer, Design Systems
Apply on MiroMiro is hiring a Staff Design Engineer, Design Systems to join its Product Design team and own the design system that governs components, tokens, and patterns. The role is AI-native—agents will generate first drafts of UI using the tokens, components, and patterns you define—and is described as a design-first position with a strong foundation in code. Responsibilities include encoding design quality and taste into rules and prototypes, partnering with engineering, and documenting foundation-level thinking. Locations listed are Copenhagen, London, and Remote Europe.
AI skillsThis role asks for AI & agentic skills, exactly what we teach at Into Design SystemsWhat you'll do
- Define and encode what great design and taste looks like for the design system and push the quality bar forward
- Identify interaction patterns, hierarchy rules, and softer signals (rhythm, restraint, spacing) that keep AI-generated UI from feeling machine-made, and work with engineering to integrate those signals into guardrails that catch violations before ship
- Push token thinking into motion, easing, spatial transitions, and multiplayer states like presence and cursors
- Partner closely with engineering to ensure performance constraints don't flatten the product
- Build patterns, guidelines, and examples to make designers and AI-assisted contributors faster and more confident
- Write and document foundation-level thinking
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or AI-focused roles
- At least 2-3 years operating at a Staff / Principal level with proven ownership of complex initiatives
- Comfort in code sufficient to prototype and validate design ideas, with a design-first focus and a strong foundation in code
- Ability to articulate design judgment (turn taste into rules and explain fine differences such as 1px, easing, contrast)
- End-to-end understanding of product to recognize where patterns break down in real user flows or cause friction in context
- Track record of influence beyond personal output: setting an explicit quality bar and connecting fragmented team work into something coherent
- Craft signals including visual craft and taste, pattern recognition at scale, motion and timing, multiplayer interaction grammar (presence, cursors, conflict, co-authorship), and fluency with AI tools sufficient to prototype ideas without an engineer
- Systems and governance thinking: ability to articulate contribution rules that keep a system coherent as it scales
