Job summary

Invoca is modernising its platform with Rapport, a scalable design system that underpins all products across agent studio, AI signals, and analytics. As a product designer on the design system team, you'll shape tokens, foundations, components, and patterns to create consistent, high-quality experiences at scale.

You'll collaborate closely with engineering and design leadership, drive machine-readable design docs, and advocate accessible, cohesive design across the Invoca portfolio, empowering

Qualifications

• You're an exceptional product designer with deep systems thinking and a strong attention to detail on visual craft.
• You've worked on mature design systems and understand that the hardest part isn't creating components - it's the architectural decisions and creating a coherent language, establishing principles, patterns and helping an organization use them well.
• You're equally comfortable in Figma, GitHub and a design-system discussion with engineers, and a strategic conversation with product leadership.
• You have expert-level visual and product design craft, with a sophisticated understanding of color, typography, spacing, composition, iconography, interaction, and motion - and how they work together as a unified visual language.

Responsibilities

• Define and evolve Invoca's visual language. Establish the system-level decisions around color, typography, spacing, iconography, motion, and interaction that make our experiences feel intentional, cohesive, and distinctly Invoca.
• Own the design architecture of Rapport. Evolve tokens, foundations, components, patterns, and their relationships so the system can scale across Invoca's product ecosystem.
• Make consequential system decisions. Define naming conventions, semantic relationships, abstraction levels, and the balance between flexibility and constraint.
• Establish design principles and tenets for design system usage that give designers and cross-functional teams a clear framework for making high-quality decisions without requiring alignment on every detail.
• Raise the visual quality bar across the platform. Act as a final eye for system-level visual and interaction quality and helping teams understand not just what to use, but why.
• Evolve Rapport for AI-native experiences. Define patterns and foundations that support intelligent, adaptive, generative, and agentic product experiences rather than simply extending traditional component libraries.
• Make the system machine-readable. Partner with Design Engineering to structure tokens, patterns, documentation, and metadata so Rapport can be effectively consumed by AI coding tools, MCP integrations, and generative UI workflows.
• Partner with Engineering on implementation fidelity. Understand the technical realities behind tokens, components, theming, and front-end architecture while advocating credibly for design intent.
• Partner with the Head of Design and Product Designers across Invoca. Help teams build with Rapport effectively, identifying friction and gaps, and using those signals to continuously improve the system.
• Shape design system governance. Create contribution models, review processes, and quality standards that enable teams to contribute without allowing consistency and token drift to accumulate.
• Help connect the system to the broader customer experience. Ensure Rapport evolves around how customers actually experience Invoca, not simply around an inventory of UI components.
• Champion accessibility, consistency, and usability as foundational qualities of the system rather than downstream checks.
• Influence the future of product design at Invoca by demonstrating how a modern design system can become an accelerator for designers, engineers, and AI - not simply a shared library.
