Job SummaryThe Platform UX Team is looking for a talented UX designer with expertise in building accessible design systems that can sustain enterprise scale. This is an opportunity to plan, build, maintain, and scale an existing design system which supports a platform with 50+ services, 50+ designers, and 200+ engineers. You'll work with designers, design managers, product managers, and engineers from ideation through implementation to define the best user experience for Fortune 500 companies and national security organizations. You'll be on the front lines, defining how GenAI and design intersect at our company.
You're a collaborative builder who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You love bringing ideas to life, crafting everything from polished demos to high-fidelity components that get your team aligned and excited. You're driven to constantly push your craft, delivering smart, scalable templates, and partnering closely with engineers to ensure high-quality, file-to-production alignment through shared tooling and languages. Success in this role means reducing dev handoff friction by driving alignment between Figma and our production codebase and defining scalable governance models with GenAI.
What You'll Be Doing- Modernize and scale our design system: Design components, UI patterns, and a data visualization library for the UX team to use for their feature work. Use Gen AI or any other tools/plugins to automate your process and create efficiency. Work with engineering to create integrations and leverage MCP (Model Context Protocol). Work with the UX and product team to build a scalable process of vibe coding, leveraging the design system but also keeping scope for innovation.
- Design system documentation: You'll be leading the documentation of the design system in figma, storybook and other tools where necessary.
- Design system evangelist: You will also work on communication and adoption of design systems, building strong advocates in the company.
- Data informed design decisions: You'll deliver quality-of-life designs based on customer feedback from concept to final implementation, using data and usability testing to inform design decisions.
- Figma code parity: Ensure Figma components and their code counterparts remain in sync. You'll define component architecture (variants, props, and slots) which is in alignment with how dev is planning to build them. Use tokens to maintain multiple theme enablement in the UI. UX for product features: You will also have the opportunity to contribute on feature work in the platform to learn about the technology and user persona. Transform mundane workflows into delightful experiences.
Qualifications What You Should Have- 6+ years of Product Design Experience, with a strong portfolio showcasing a deep understanding of design principles.
- Built 2-3 design systems from scratch for midsize to companies to enterprises.
- Expertise in the full design cycle: from concept, research, and scoping to wireframing, prototyping, and user testing.
