Job description

Responsibilities

• Lead efforts to ensure all components meet Hawkins quality standards, including accessibility, motion, and theming, and are built to scale effectively.
• Own comprehensive, machine‑readable system knowledge (component docs, usage rules, accessibility, tokens, patterns) and keep it production‑ready in partnership with design and engineering.
• Partner with engineering to translate high‑level design guidance into explicit, structured logic (rules, decision trees, contracts) that AI agents and tools can safely consume to generate UI and usable code.
• Define, document, and evolve the design system’s core primitives (layout, interaction, accessibility) and component APIs to keep implementations consistent, testable, and easy to adopt.
• Partner on the design and maintenance of AI‑assisted design tooling (agents, copilots, MCP integrations) that recommend components, generate system‑compliant layouts/tokens, and automate design QA in Figma and related tools.
• Partner with engineers to build and integrate automated refactoring, migration, and system‑aware copilot tools into developer workflows (CI/CD, code review, IDEs) to propagate system changes with minimal disruption.
• Develop design testing frameworks and guardrails to ensure both human‑and AI‑generated usage of the system remains accessible, performant, and on‑brand across domains.
• Expose the system through component APIs, schemas, and LLM‑optimized knowledge bases (metadata, examples, component “recipes”) so AI and product teams can reliably discover and apply system capabilities.
• Monitor design system health (adoption, divergence, duplication, defects, migration effort), including AI usage patterns, and drive iterative improvements based on these signals.
• Champion system thinking and AI‑driven scalability across the organization, aligning design, engineering, and AI strategies and staying current with emerging genAI practices.
• Operate at the intersection of engineering and design, integrating aesthetic, functional, and technical considerations into cohesive solutions.

Qualifications

• 5‑8+ years of experience in system design, with a proven track record of delivering impactful design system solutions at scale.
• A visionary mindset, capable of setting and articulating a clear vision for design systems while influencing teams and stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
• Deep expertise in systems thinking, with the ability to balance high‑level strategy with detailed execution.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with a talent for influencing and inspiring stakeholders across disciplines.
• Strong interaction and visual design skills focused on components and patterns, demonstrated through a portfolio of deep system design experience.
• Production experience with React, modern JS/TS, and CSS (including utility frameworks).
• Experience working with a mature design system or component library (beyond initial greenfield creation).
• Ability to work fluently across Figma and code, reasoning about the mapping between them over time.
• Familiarity with generative AI concepts and a strong interest in shaping how agents and LLM‑powered tools consume and apply a design system in real products.
