Cherry is a fintech platform that provides point-of-sale financing and payment plans for healthcare and veterinary practices, dental clinics, medspas, plastic surgery and dermatology providers. It lets consumers apply in about 60 seconds with an industry-leading approval rate, offers instant funding to practices, and handles repayments directly so providers receive payment within 2-3 business days. Cherry markets zero-interest short-term options (Pay-in-4), longer-term 0% APR promotions for qualifying treatments, reduced merchant fees, and customer support and marketing resources to help practices increase case acceptance and cash flow.

📋 Description

• Own the full design system: component library, React codebase, interaction patterns, tokens, and documentation • Write, ship, and maintain production React code with strong code hygiene, testing practices, and clear architecture • Define the interaction and visual design language for Cherry's component library: the standard every surface is held to • Encode quality standards into the system itself: components, tokens, and rules that make the right choice the easy choice • Work with AI tooling (Claude, Cursor, Codex) to embed design rules into development workflows, so quality guidance is available at the moment decisions are made • Partner with Cherry's AI Enablement team to build internal tools that extend the design system's reach • Partner closely with our front-end engineering team in Turkey on component architecture, implementation, and code review • Serve the product design team as their primary design system partner, guiding usage and enabling confident contribution • Work with the broader engineering org to ensure components are easy to adopt, well-documented, and production-ready • Own the strategy for how Cherry's design system evolves as AI becomes part of every designer's and engineer's workflow • Define the roadmap for components, pattern evolution, and process, with an eye toward what design systems look like in 2-3 years • Advocate for the long-term health of the system, balancing team requests with architectural integrity

🎯 Requirements

• 5-8+ years of experience spanning product design and front-end engineering, with demonstrated strength in both • Deep proficiency in React, with strong opinions on component architecture, testing, and code quality • Expert-level skills in design tools, including component design, variants, tokens, and design system management • A sharp eye for visual and interaction design: spacing, motion, hierarchy, and the details that separate polished from almost-polished • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex • Experience building and maintaining a design system used by multiple teams in production • The ability to communicate across disciplines, fluent with designers, engineers, and product leaders alike.
