  • Expert communicator who can explain system decisions simply and get buy-in across teams
  • Self-motivated attitude with the ability to work in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous work environment
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability

Minimum Qualifications:

  • BS/BA degree or equivalent years of work experience
  • A strong portfolio showcasing your work, including design systems work
  • 5+ years of experience designing mobile applications, including 2+ years building, maintaining, or contributing to a design system
  • Experience designing for iOS and Android platform conventions
  • Experience working with engineers on component specs and how they’re implemented in code
