Job summary

Blacksmith Agency LLC is seeking a Senior UI Designer, Design Systems to build and maintain the design system across client sites—from tokens and modes to robust component libraries—that developers can ship without questions. You will architect the Figma system so it scales across multiple brands while preserving a single source of truth.

You will own handoff documentation, keep Figma and the production code in sync, and defend the system on live calls with a US-based team.

Qualifications

• 4+ years as a product, UI or design systems designer, ideally on an in-house team.
• A design system you personally built in Figma with variables, modes and tokens, and can walk us through in detail.
• Experience handing a system to developers and keeping Figma and code in step.
• Strong spoken English. You will present and defend your system on live calls with a US team.

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.
