AI skillsThis role asks for AI & agentic skills, exactly what we teach at Into Design Systems

What you'll do

  • Design scalable, repeatable interaction patterns, UX flows and frameworks that go beyond component and token libraries
  • Build patterns that work across dense product experiences and the growing mobile design system
  • Develop AI-driven systems that define, measure and check design quality against shared standards
  • Create AI prototyping tools and code-based checks that help teams produce high-quality implementations
  • Own platform-wide initiatives from identifying a problem and setting strategy through hands-on prototyping and delivery
  • Work closely with engineers, product managers and designers to improve craft and the platform's design language
  • Raise the quality of work across teams while remaining an active practitioner

What they're looking for

  • 8-20 years of product design or design systems experience, with approximately 12 years a strong fit for the role's scope
  • Prior Staff, Principal or Lead-level responsibility and the ability to combine vision and strategy with hands-on individual contributor work
  • Experience designing systems, repeatable interaction patterns and UX frameworks for complex B2B platforms, horizontal architectures or developer tools
  • Practical use of AI-assisted coding and prototyping tools such as Cursor, Claude Code or Codex; comfort working close to code rather than relying only on static design files
  • Strong visual, interaction and user experience craft, including accessibility expertise
  • A portfolio showing pattern-level work beyond basic component or token libraries, with clear ownership, trade-offs and outcomes
  • Autonomy, pace and the ability to identify problems, bring partners together and drive solutions without heavy process
  • Experience at companies known for strong consumer or mobile design
