About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and build Cambly's design system as a project: a structured, variable-based token architecture (color, spacing, type, and more) and a documented component library that builds on top of it
Modernize our existing design system into one that includes clear rules for when and how to use each component
Write specs and documentation precise enough that our designers, our engineers, and our AI coding agents can all implement correctly with minimal ambiguity
Be part of a small, fast-moving design team where your work frees up our product designers to focus on high-craft areas of Lexicon that need it most.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Mid-to-senior-level, hands-on design systems expert, with a track record of building and maintaining design systems with tokens, theming, and component libraries in Figma using a variable-based token architecture and provide continuous recommendations that enhance overall velocity and quality
A systems and codification mindset: able to translate design intent into precise, unambiguous rules and documentation that designers, engineers, and AI coding agents can all use.
A strong, well-rounded digital product designer at core — someone whose anchor is design systems work, but who is also a qualified product designer able to contribute beyond systems alone.
Experience (and deep curiosity) working with AI as part of the core development flow.
Self-directed and comfortable operating without a fully perfected process or handoff; this is a fast-moving, still-forming team.
Proven ability to communicate clearly and collaborate with both design and engineering stakeholders.
iOS design experience.
Genuine interest in Cambly's team and mission — there's a real possibility of this expanding into a bigger or longer-term role.
