To foster the collaboration this role needs, youll join us at our Santa Clara, CA office at least three days a week as part of our hybrid in-office model.
What You'll Be Doing
Modernize and Scale our Design System with GenAI: Youll be at the forefront of this effort, designing components, actively developing prototyping kits, building custom Figma plug-ins, and creating integrations for GenAI tools-MCP-Figma (like FigmaMake, Cursor, and Polymet) to accelerate workflows and define our future standards of excellence.
Design In-Product: Youll be responsible for transforming mundane workflows into delightful experiences and delivering quality of life features based on customer feedback from concept to final implementation. Proactively conduct usability testing and use data to inform design decisions and continuously improve the user experience.
Qualifications (Additional Job Description)
Your Experience
9+ years of product design experience. Expertise in creating and evolving systems, UI libraries, and token-based architecture using Figma and front-end frameworks.
Experience empowering teams with scalable tooling, contribution models, and governance practices that enable efficiency without slowing progress.
Systems-thinking mindset, connecting design patterns to product goals, workflows, and constraints, with a focus on scalability and practical implementation.
Collaborative approach, driving execution independently while mentoring others and advocating for design quality across functions.
Excellent communication skills, simplifying complex concepts and influencing teams to adopt and improve design systems.
Data-driven, using user feedback to continuously improve product design.
