NewDesign System Designer
Apply on RentmanRentman is a B2B SaaS scale-up building an operations management platform for event and media production teams, used in 70+ countries, based in Utrecht with a second office in Toronto and 100+ team members. The role is to bring design ownership to a code-first design system: defining Rentman's visual language, building a Figma-and-code-aligned component system, and acting as the team's strongest visual and UI designer to raise the craft bar.
AI skillsThis role asks for AI & agentic skills, exactly what we teach at Into Design SystemsWhat you'll do
- Define Rentman's visual language (hierarchy, density, tone, when-to guidance) and document it so teams can apply it without you in the room.
- Build and maintain the Figma component library to the Definition of Done: in Figma and in Storybook/Angular at parity, token-driven, documented, and passing WCAG AA.
- Document the system in two layers: human guidelines and rationale, plus machine-readable usage rules that AI design and development tools can apply reliably.
- Establish the patterns and templates layer for priority flows so teams compose instead of reinventing.
- Run governance: the contribution process, changelog, deprecations, and design reviews with a clear turnaround.
- Partner daily with the Design System Developer as a small, autonomous two-person team, and act as the design team's visual-craft anchor via crit and review, with product teams as primary stakeholders.
What they're looking for
- Top-of-team UI and visual craft, backed by a strong portfolio; be the most visually skilled designer on the team from day one.
- Expert in Figma (variants, tokens/variables, auto-layout), with real hands-on experience building a design system.
- WCAG AA fluency and a genuine understanding of what makes software interfaces good and how to build them.
- Understanding of what makes a design system consumable by AI tooling: why publishing token data is the easy part, and encoding usage rules is the hard part.
- Experience managing multiple stakeholders (product owners, developers, designers) and a healthy relationship with critique (giving and receiving it).
- Prior experience as the sole or founding design owner of a design system.
- Experience introducing governance and contribution models for design systems, ideally in a B2B SaaS or complex, power-user product.
- Hands-on experience shipping an agent-facing design-system surface (e.g. an MCP server, component manifest, or llms.txt-style export), or exposure to Angular front-end conventions.
