NewProduct Design Lead - Design System
Apply on MoniepointMoniepoint Inc. is an African financial ecosystem serving 10 million businesses and individuals, operating as Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer and processing $22 billion monthly while operating profitably. The company is hiring a Product Design Lead - Design System to create a scalable UI ecosystem across multiple products, teams, and platforms. The role involves full ownership of component libraries, interaction models, and cross-platform design consistency and acting as a bridge between design and engineering to ensure visual assets translate into reusable, accessible production code. The company states a fully remote work culture.
What you'll do
- Maintain high standards for layout, typography, colour, spacing, visual hierarchy, and overall digital finish across all reusable elements.
- Design, build, and maintain robust component libraries (buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, forms, tables, etc.) that scale across products.
- Define interactive behaviors and state transitions (hover, focus, disabled, loading, and mobile behaviors) so components feel alive and intuitive.
- Structure and maintain design tokens (colours, spacing, typography, border-radius, shadows) to drive consistency between design environments and code.
- Organize complex variants, properties, and components within Figma to empower other product designers to build quickly and accurately.
- Partner closely with engineering teams to navigate technical constraints across Web, React, Flutter, Android, and iOS/Native environments.
- Create clear, comprehensive usage guidelines and documentation outlining when, why, and how components should (and should not) be used.
What they're looking for
- Extensive experience building, scaling, and maintaining production-ready design systems rather than just standalone product features.
- Deep understanding of the constraints and guidelines governing multiple platforms, including Web, iOS, and Android.
- A portfolio demonstrating how individual design decisions impact multiple products, scale sustainably, and optimize designer/engineer workflows.
- Strong familiarity with how developers inspect, build, and consume components in code repositories.
- Advanced knowledge of Figma libraries, auto-layout, components, variants, variables, and library publication.
- Solid grasp of accessibility standards (WCAG), contrast requirements, and inclusive design principles.
- Familiarity with component-driven frameworks (React, Flutter) and Atomic Design methodology.
- Excellent writing and presentation skills, with an ability to translate complex design system choices into executive-level updates and technical guidelines.
