Design Better Podcast; United States; Remote; USD 169,000 - 214,000; Full time

Job summary

You’ll shape the design language, establish scalable foundations, and lead cross-functional efforts to deliver consistent, high-quality Growth experiences.

We value collaboration, strong craft, and a proactive approach to turning complex design problems into reusable patterns.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience designing consumer-facing digital products across web and mobile.
• A portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual, interaction, and product craft, including hands-on design system work.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, and comfort operating autonomously and carrying work from early concept through polished execution.

Responsibilities

• Find where designers lose time between intent and launch, and design the system changes, agents, and workflows that remove it
• Set a high standard for craft and taste across Growth, and turn it into a clear, opinionated framework for when and how designers and agents should use each pattern, including the right default
• Own and evolve the foundations Growth is built on, including components, variants, tokens, layout, responsive behavior, and content and legal patterns, in partnership with our Design Systems team
• Establish a shared source of truth: a master Figma file of approved components, screens, and flows, connected to code through machine-readable specs that declare tokens, states, and edge cases
• Take point on building agents and skills that use the system to turn a request like "a renewal modal offering 14 days free" into on-brand, legally approved, production-ready design
• Translate design judgment into evals and review agents that check work before it ships, such as an agent that reviews designs against approved legal and content patterns, and use what they catch to improve the system
• Drive design-to-code efforts with Engineering, so agents can turn approved designs into shippable code that engineers review rather than rebuild
• Stay close to Growth work across incentives and lifecycle, spotting promising patterns and turning them into reusable, documented foundations every designer can adopt
