About the role

  • Own the Design System
  • Lead the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Replit’s design system.
  • Define and evolve core components, patterns, tokens, and interaction standards used across the product.
  • Ensure the system supports a wide range of surfaces, from core product UI to Agent flows, enterprise templates, and customer-integrated design systems.
  • Partner with product designers and engineers to ensure new features are built on system primitives.
  • Design for extensibility: support custom stacks, enterprise design systems, and customer-specific theming without fragmentation.
  • Improve discoverability, clarity, and usability of system-driven UI across key entry points.
  • Collaborate closely with design engineers on implementation details, tradeoffs, and system architecture.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of product design experience, with deep ownership of a design system at scale.
  • Strong systems thinker: you see patterns, abstractions, and long-term implications.
  • Experience collaborating closely with engineers on component APIs, implementation details, and constraints.
  • Comfort operating at multiple levels—from high-level principles to pixel- and interaction-level decisions.
