Job summary

Blacksmith Agency is seeking a UI Designer, Design Systems to build and maintain our Figma design system across client sites. You will create tokens, variables and modes, and maintain component libraries that scale beyond homepages.

You will own handoff docs so developers can implement the system without questions. This in-house, full-time role requires a designer who has built a complete system in Figma, can walk stakeholders through it, and can present on calls with our US team.

Qualifications

4+ years as a product, UI or design systems designer, ideally on an in-house team.
A design system you personally built in Figma with variables, modes and tokens, and can walk us through in detail.
Experience handing a system to developers and keeping Figma and code in step.
Strong spoken English. You will present and defend your system on live calls with a US team.
Full-time availability overlapping US business hours.

Responsibilities

Token architecture in Figma: variables, modes and semantic naming, from primitives to semantic to component level.
Component libraries that hold up across an entire site, not just a homepage.
Handoff and documentation that let a developer or a build pipeline execute the system without questions.
Several client brands at once, each distinct, with the same structure underneath.
