Who we, the design system team, are

Hi, I’m Johan, the Design System Lead. Together with my team of skilled and passionate designers and engineers, we build and maintain Electrolux Group’s design system SHAPE. We help hundreds of engineers and designers at the company build more cohesive, on-brand products faster, with accessibility at heart. We’re looking forward to welcoming someone who wants to help shape this work with us.

Our design system is multibrand, so we can support all different brands of the Electrolux Group. We do also support dark and light mode, which is important not only because dark mode is popular, but also accessible. On the tech side we currently support Web (React), Mobile (SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose) and Appliances (Flutter, LVGL). Supporting Appliances means that our buttons are displayed on ovens and washing machines too,that’s pretty cool.

In our team we like to work together, across responsibilities and disciplines. Designers and engineers collaborate across Mobile, Web and Appliance. Though we are all located in Stockholm today, we represent six different nationalities, mostly males but not all. Some have kids, others like to climb, do their own tattoos or food, both cooking and eating. We have one team member who is crazy about his car; it shines. And we would love to add even more interests, backgrounds, and perspectives to the team. We are not looking for someone who simply fits in, but someone who can add to who we are and help us see the work in new ways.

All about the role:

You will join a cross-functional design system team that supports Web, Mobile, and Appliance experiences through SHAPE, a design system with strong adoption across Electrolux Group. Together, we support hundreds of internal designers and engineers who build consumer products used by millions of people.

You will drive the engineering side of Web, from setting strategies, creating design system assets to help increase adoption and collaborate with Mobile and Appliance engineers on the team.

• Lead and deliver the frontend part of the design system
• Help improve the design system by supporting other engineers in their work and strengthening collaboration across teams
• Create usable design system assets that meet and go beyond accessibility standards and continuously improve them in line with design system best practices and guidelines
• Help align the design system with company goals by improving efficiency, consistency, and scalability across product teams and brands
• Participate in conversations and workshops with stakeholders, users, and contributors to ensure system scalability and strong relationships
• Explore and apply AI-assisted development workflows to help the team work more effectively, improve quality, strengthen documentation, and create a better developer experience

A Typical Day

• Design experiences from concept to implementation, including high-quality mobile UX, with attention to hierarchy, accessibility, layout, and navigation.
• Use data, insights, and research to inform design decisions and continuously improve the user experience across touchpoints.
• Bring concepts to life with low- and high-fidelity prototypes (and know when a simple sketch will suffice).
• Drive collaboration across the design process and broader organization by leading co-creation sessions, workshops, and structured design reviews, building alignment, shared ownership, and effective decision-making across cross-functional teams.
• Work with and evolve the Electrolux Group design system and pattern library.
• Build strong relationships with designers of different disciplines across the global Electrolux organization.

Who You Are?

• You have frontend engineering experience and hands-on experience working on a design system team, delivering and maintaining shared assets such as components, design tokens, patterns, guidelines, and documentation
• You know how to work with cross-functional teams to implement designs effectively and support consistent product experiences
• You have an eye for detail and enjoy working closely with designers to translate design intent into code, both visually and functionally
• You understand frontend engineering principles and component architecture, and apply good practices in code quality, accessibility, and agile development
• You communicate clearly and respectfully, sharing information and ideas with confidence while contributing to constructive problem-solving with engineers and cross-disciplinary partners
• You have strong React skills and are comfortable using AI as a natural part of your daily work
• Experience maintaining open-source libraries or shared internal tools used by multiple teams or developers is an advantage

If this role sounds exciting but you don’t meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you. We value different paths, experiences, and perspectives, and we’re interested in what you can bring to the team.

Please share which design system(s) you have worked on, your role in them, and examples of your contributions when you apply.

Where you’ll be:

This is a full-time position, based at our office in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

You will be part of a dynamic international team where English is the natural language.

Benefit highlights:

• Flexible work hours and a hybrid work environment
• Discounts on our award-winning Electrolux products and services
• Family-friendly benefits
• Extensive learning opportunities and a flexible career path

As part of Electrolux, we will continuously invest in you and your development. There are no barriers to where your career could take you.
