About the role
- Audit existing design assets and component usage to identify gaps and redundancies.
- Build a unified, scalable Figma design system, with tokens, variables, and AI-ready structure for future automation.
- Define foundational elements, typography, color, spacing, iconography, accessibility, with documentation for consistent use.
- Prepare the system for localization and internationalization, ensuring components adapt seamlessly to new markets.
- Introduce processes and frameworks that keep the design system aligned as the product evolves quickly.
- Create and maintain a comprehensive product blueprint capturing key user flows (onboarding, payments, navigation, etc.).
- Bring together fragmented files and flows into a single source of truth, establishing a full picture of the current experience.
- Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to identify missing areas and progressively document them.

- Work closely with designers to drive adoption and streamline workflows.
- Provide clear documentation, usage guidelines, and best practices to enable system scalability.
- Structure the design system for AI-enhanced workflows (e.g., Figma Make AI, generative component creation, and tokenized design).
- Identify opportunities for automation and AI integration within design ops, documentation, and localization workflows.
Requirements
- 3–6 years in Product or UX/UI design, with direct experience building or maintaining a design system from zero (0→1).
