Remote Design Systems Architect – Senior, Web Brands

Blacksmith Agency; Mexico; On-site; MXN 450,000 - 700,000; Full time

Job summary

Blacksmith Agency seeks a Design Systems Lead to own how client design systems are built. You take a brand and reference sites, extract the pattern into a working system—tokens, variables, modes, and core components a build pipeline can execute without questions. Precision is the job.

This is a senior, systems-first seat. Not one-off pages, not maintenance. You stand up new systems fast and get them right the first time, across several client brands at once.

Qualifications

• 4+ years designing for the web with design system work in portfolio.
• Fluency in Figma variables, components, auto layout and variants.
• Portfolio showing client-to-client design with underlying design system rigor.
• 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.
