Job summary

Blacksmith Agency seeks a Design Systems Lead to own how client design systems are built. You will extract patterns from brands and reference sites into a working system of tokens, variables, modes, and core components for a scalable build pipeline.

This senior, systems-first role ships design tokens and component libraries across multiple client brands, maintaining rigorous consistency while enabling fast delivery. Strong English and collaboration with US hours are expected.

Qualifications

4+ years designing for the web, with real design system work in your portfolio.
Fluency in Figma variables, component properties, auto layout, and variants.
A portfolio where the work looks different from client to client but the rigor underneath is the same.
Strong English and overlap with US business hours.

Responsibilities

Build token architecture in Figma using variables, modes, and semantic naming our pipeline can read predictably.
Ship core component libraries that hold up across an entire site, not just a homepage.
Document the system so a developer or an automated pipeline can execute it without questions.
Work across several client brands at once, each looking distinctly different, with the same structural rigor.
