📋 Description

• Design and build Cambly's design system as a project: a structured, variable-based token architecture (color, spacing, type, and more) and a documented component library that builds on top of it • Modernize our existing design system into one that includes clear rules for when and how to use each component • Write specs and documentation precise enough that our designers, our engineers, and our AI coding agents can all implement correctly with minimal ambiguity • Be part of a small, fast-moving design team where your work frees up our product designers to focus on high-craft areas of Lexicon that need it most.

🎯 Requirements

• Mid-to-senior-level, hands-on design systems expert, with a track record of building and maintaining design systems with tokens, theming, and component libraries in Figma using a variable-based token architecture and provide continuous recommendations that enhance overall velocity and quality • A systems and codification mindset: able to translate design intent into precise, unambiguous rules and documentation that designers, engineers, and AI coding agents can all use. • A strong, well-rounded digital product designer at core — someone whose anchor is design systems work, but who is also a qualified product designer able to contribute beyond systems alone. • Experience (and deep curiosity) working with AI as part of the core development flow. • Self-directed and comfortable operating without a fully perfected process or handoff; this is a fast-moving, still-forming team. • Proven ability to communicate clearly and collaborate with both design and engineering stakeholders. • iOS design experience. • Genuine interest in Cambly's team and mission — there's a real possibility of this expanding into a bigger or longer-term role.
