About the role

  • Evolve the Design System: Define visual language, interaction patterns, and component standards leveraging Figma libraries, design tokens, and variable-based theming for multi-platform scalability.
  • Implement a sophisticated token architecture: Drive adoption of semantic tokens for style foundations to ensure consistency across web and native environments.
  • Collaborate with engineering: Partner with developers to integrate tokens into codebases and ensure parity between design and production using tools like Figma Rest API and Storybook.
  • Maintain robust documentation: Create clear, accessible guidelines for components, patterns, and usage principles in Figma.

  • Mentor and foster design system culture: Host office hours, tutorials, and workshops to teach best practices for implementing the Design System in their workflows and designs.
  • Foster design education and community building: Create learning resources, internal documentation, and lead initiatives that promote a culture of design excellence across the organization.
  • Advocate for design maturity: Present new component logic, advise on native and custom patterns to stakeholders, socialize updates, and mentor designers on system best practices.
  • Stay ahead of trends: Continuously research emerging tools (e.g., AI-assisted design, variable fonts, advanced prototyping, MCP servers) to keep the system future-ready.

Requirements
