About the Role

We’re hiring an experienced Design Systems Designer to help us formalize and extend the foundation of our visual language and design DNA. You’ll work with Product Designers, Software and Design Engineers, Brand Designers, and more, to shape how our product looks, feels, functions, and scales across multiple products and platforms.

You’ll bring clarity and cohesion to every component, pattern, and motion principle. The system you build will make it easier (and more fun) for everyone to vibe code and design so that creativity flows freely, without ever losing consistency or soul.

This role is for a 6‑month contract, with potential to convert to full‑time, depending on the needs of the team at that time.

What You'll Need

• A systems thinker with an artist’s heart. You see patterns everywhere, but you also care deeply about the artistry behind the pixels. You love bringing structure to creativity without dulling its spark.

• Not “just” a systems designer. You’ll spend the majority of your time on the design system, but we value agility and flexibility, so we expect you to occasionally lead more traditional design projects as well.

• Technically curious. You believe vibe coding is the future of design, and you’re not afraid to peek under the hood to understand how things really work. You’re fluent in Figma components and front‑end languages, allowing you to bridge Figma MCP and FE tokens.

• Craft‑obsessed. You can zoom out to a birds-eye-view, and zoom into the most granular details, from typography minutiae to subtle microinteractions. You know that quality is built through care and precision, and you sweat the small stuff that add up to big differences.

• Collaborative to your core. You work hand-in-hand with other designers, engineers, and brand partners to make sure the system feels magical and practical, and works across the varying needs of the various teams that will leverage it.

• A proactive builder. You thrive in ambiguity; spotting opportunities, proposing improvements, and creating order out of creative chaos.

Nice‑to-haves

• Experience evolving and maintaining a design system used across multiple products and platforms

• Comfort with front‑end concepts (React, design tokens, accessibility, MCP, vibe coding)

• Passion for music, creativity tools, or the intersection of design and AI

• Experience in early-stage, fast-moving product environments

• A knack for turning the abstract into something beautiful and useful
