Job summary

Blacksmith Agency builds websites for clients across the US. As Design Systems Designer at Blacksmith, you build the Figma design systems our team ships every client site from: tokens, variables, modes and component libraries that developers build from without asking you questions.

This is a full-time, in-house seat on our team, and it has to be your only job. If you run freelance clients, a studio or agency side work, or plan to keep them, this role is not a fit.

Qualifications

• 4+ years as a product, UI or design systems designer.
• A design system you personally built in Figma with variables, modes and tokens.
• Experience handing a system to developers and keeping Figma and code in step.
• Strong spoken English for live calls with a US team.
• Full-time availability overlapping US business hours.

Responsibilities

• Token architecture in Figma: variables, modes and semantic naming, from primitives to semantic to component level.
• Component libraries that hold up across an entire site, not just a homepage.
• Handoff and documentation that let a developer or a build pipeline execute the system without questions.
• Several client brands at once, each distinct, with the same structure underneath.
