Job description

Our client is seeking seeking a multidisciplinary designer who can seamlessly toggle between the left brain (Systems) and the right brain (Visuals).

What You'll Be Doing:

• Building components that can handle extreme data variations without breaking.
• Using Figma Variables (Modes) to "skin" our white label products for different clients (e.g., swapping from a [Client A] theme to a [Client B] theme instantly).
• Creating high fidelity prototypes that feel like real software to validate concepts with users.
• Preparing files using "Dev Mode" features to ensure developers receive clean JSON/CSS specs.
• Using Generative AI tools (Midjourney, Firefly) to rapidly create bespoke textures, icons, and imagery.

Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in Product Design or Visual Systems Design.
• Strong portfolio showing both rigorous system architecture AND beautiful visual execution.
• Experience designing complex dashboards, data visualizations, or SaaS products.
• Familiarity with "Dev Mode" and how design translates to code (HTML/CSS awareness).
• Experience working in an agile environment with rapid iteration cycles.
