- Build and maintain components, patterns, and tokens in Purse, partnering closely with engineering to ensure design–code parity across web, mobile, and tablet
- Write and maintain component documentation that serves designers, engineers, and AI tools — including usage rules, anatomy, variants, accessibility, and worked examples
- Run audits, support product designers, and turn recurring needs into systemic improvements, working alongside the Design System Manager to evolve Purse through incremental, high-value milestones

- Strong understanding of design token systems, semantic naming, and theming / multi-brand patterns
- Skilled at running design system audits, spotting inconsistencies in product surfaces, and bringing them back into the system
- Experience writing component documentation that is clear for designers, engineers, and product managers
- Expertise in what makes a design system interpretable and usable by AI: structured content, machine-readable patterns, AI-ready documentation conventions, and how an LLM or codegen agent consumes a design system
- Solid grounding in accessibility (WCAG) and inclusive design practices
- You want to push the design system toward an ambitious vision, and can slice the path into small intermediate milestones that deliver value at every step
