This role blends deep expertise in visual design, interaction patterns, and cross-functional collaboration to build scalable UI component libraries that evolve with user needs and technology.
Responsibilities
Design System Development
- Build and maintain robust design system libraries across platforms (Web, iOS, Android), including foundational design layers.
- Manage a comprehensive set of 100+ UI components, ensuring consistency in variants, interaction states, and accessibility.
- Evaluate new component requests and collaborate with designers and engineers to ensure alignment with usability and brand standards.
- Translate component proposals into complete sets of states, layouts, and accessibility specifications.
- Partner with engineering teams to ensure design parity, performance, and accessibility in implementation.
Documentation & Enablement
- Create and maintain clear, scalable documentation that serves as the single source of truth for design system components.
- Explain complex interaction models and component logic in a way that's accessible to designers and developers of all levels.
- Continuously iterate documentation based on feedback, updates, and evolving standards.
- Align design documentation with engineering frameworks and naming conventions.
System Optimization & Evolution
- Modernize design libraries using advanced Figma features (e.g., component properties, design tokens, variables, auto-layout).
- Develop and maintain design tokens to support rapid updates, theming, and scalability.
- Reconfigure libraries to align with emerging UX/UI patterns and next-gen design system structures.
- Govern shared resources, extension kits, and community libraries to drive adoption and consistency across teams.
Qualifications
Core Skills
- Proven experience in building and scaling multi-platform design systems (Web, iOS, Android).
- Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including component creation, variant management, and auto-layout.
- Strong understanding of modular design, system architecture, and scalable content structures.
- Deep knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design practices.
- Ability to document and extrapolate component logic, states, and usage patterns with clarity.
- Commitment to visual consistency and brand alignment across digital experiences.
- Understanding of interaction design and how components fit into broader user flows.
- Skilled in cross-functional collaboration with product designers, engineers, and accessibility experts.
- Strong communication and influencing skills to drive consensus and adoption.
Preferred Experience
- 5+ years in UX/UI design, design systems, or digital product design.
- Experience leading or contributing to enterprise-level design systems.
- Familiarity with design-to-development handoff tools (e.g., Figma, Storybook, ZeroHeight).
- Experience working with front-end frameworks (React, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose).
