Standardization: Document and govern cross-functional visual standards—including typography, color theory, spacing, iconography, and motion—to ensure a balance between brand expression and accessibility.
Component Development: Build and document a library of reusable UI components (modals, charts, tables, inputs, etc.) with clearly defined interaction states and technical specifications.
Engineering Collaboration: Partner closely with developers to ensure design-to-code parity, participating in handoff processes, QA, and the implementation of React-based component libraries.
Marketing Support: Develop modular systems for social media, email campaigns, webinars, and pitch decks to ensure brand consistency across all touchpoints.
Interaction Design: Create sophisticated motion patterns and micro-interactions that enhance usability and bring the platform’s brand to life.
Audit & Governance: Perform regular audits of existing experiences to identify and rectify inconsistencies in design usage and accessibility.
Strategic Contribution: Participate in design critiques and contribute to the system roadmap based on emerging product features and industry best practices.
Experience: 5+ years of experience in Product, UX, or Interaction Design, with at least 3 years dedicated specifically to building and maintaining design systems.
Technical Mastery: Deep proficiency in Figma, including advanced features like tokens, variables, auto layout, and variants.
Systems Thinking: A proven ability to think modularly and create scalable solutions for complex, data-heavy interfaces.
Communication: Exceptional skills in articulating design decisions and collaborating across engineering, product, and marketing departments.
Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), Google’s Material Design, and accessibility standards (WCAG).
Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to bridge the gap between branding and functional product design.
