Job summary

Iterable is seeking a Senior Product Designer, Design Systems, to shape Aurora, the underpinnings of Iterable’s product experience. You will craft a versioned, verifiable system of design intent that is usable by humans and AI tools, and you’ll drive updates across tokens, themes, and component contracts in close collaboration with engineers.

You’ll partner with frontend teams to connect Figma, React, and documentation, while promoting accessibility and scalable design practices.

Qualifications

6+ years of product design experience, including building or evolving design systems at scale.
A portfolio demonstrating strong craft, interaction quality, accessibility, and systems thinking.
Deep Figma expertise: variables and modes, properties, variants, slots, branching, libraries, and scalable organization.
Experience defining component APIs, anatomy, states, behaviors, composition rules, and usage guidance.
Comfort with schemas, contracts, taxonomies, dependencies, validation, versioning, and change management.
Strong engineering partnership across implementation, testing, accessibility, APIs, and release quality.

Responsibilities

Lead Aurora’s evolution across foundations, components, patterns, and product-specific assemblies.
Define component contracts and structured specs covering anatomy, properties, variants, states, slots, composition, accessibility, and intended use.
Make design intent machine-readable for Figma, code, documentation, prototypes, and AI coding agents, including behaviors Figma cannot express alone.
Partner with engineers to connect Figma, tokens, React, Storybook, prototypes, and documentation through deterministic workflows that minimize drift.
Strengthen Aurora’s token architecture, themes, aliases, states, and core foundations.
Establish audits and quality gates for hardcoded values, invalid combinations, missing states, accessibility gaps, and system divergence.
Help version and communicate system changes through change logs, release notes, impact reports, and architectural decision records.
Explore responsible AI/LLM use of Aurora, then build prototypes, tools, and guidance that help teams apply the system consistently.
Audit product surfaces, improve high-impact inconsistencies, and mentor designers and engineers in systems thinking and AI-ready workflows.
