The posting states most teams work from the office full time with flexibility when needed, and lists an annual salary range of $140,800.00 to $227,700.00.
✦ AI skillsThis role asks for AI & agentic skills, exactly what we teach at Into Design SystemsWhat you'll do
- Modernize and scale the design system, component architecture, UI patterns, and data visualization libraries.
- Actively use AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude, Vibe Coding, MCP integrations) to generate component code and ship directly to Storybook for engineering review and merge.
- Drive full alignment between Figma variables, design tokens, and production code.
- Define component architecture (variants, props, and slots) in Storybook so that design system assets are code-native, multi-themed, and production-ready.
- Lead training, establish guardrails, and build "vibe coding" workflows that enable designers to move from Figma to code-assisted prototyping.
- Make confident architectural decisions that solve ~99% of use cases and experiment with out-of-the-box patterns to eliminate dev handoff friction.
- Lead comprehensive, automated documentation across Figma, Storybook, and shared developer tooling to ensure a single authoritative source of truth.
- Contribute directly to key platform feature workflows to stay grounded in user personas, technology constraints, and real-world system application.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of product / design systems experience planning, building, and scaling enterprise-grade design systems used by multi-product engineering organizations.
- Daily hands-on experience using AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) to turn design concepts into code, automate workflows, and build functional prototypes.
- Comfort taking ownership of components in Storybook and using AI to write clean UI code (React, TypeScript, CSS/HTML) for engineering review, without needing to be a manual syntax expert.
- Exceptional visual and interaction craft with a bias for action and the ability to make strong architectural calls, balance system purity with pragmatism, and lead through rapid experimentation.
- A portfolio featuring deep, end-to-end case studies that clearly articulate the problem solved, the strategic trade-offs, the AI-assisted execution process, and the systemic business impact.
- Demonstrated experience coaching, guiding, or upskilling design peers through process transformations and new tooling adoption.
