Kin Insurance is a digital insurance company that offers homeowners, landlord, condo, mobile home, high-value home, flood, and auto insurance, along with mortgage products such as home loans, refinancing, home equity loans, and HELOCs. Kin emphasizes affordable, easy online quoting and policy management, claims support, and customer service, operating directly to consumers across multiple U. S. states.

📋 Description

• Using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor), audit existing component libraries and live product experiences — mapping gaps, drift, and inconsistencies — to generate a data-backed plan to unify and streamline the system. • Own and drive Kin's token architecture across color, typography, spacing, and motion, structured as primitive, semantic, and component tokens, as the single source of truth for design and code. • Experience designing token systems that scale across different contexts -- internal tools, customer-facing apps, or multi-brand surfaces -- with an architecture that can flex without fragmenting. • Establish and maintain Figma-to-code parity, partnering with engineering on the pipeline from design tokens to implemented, documented components. • Introduce new components and patterns thoughtfully as Kin moves into new product domains, ensuring the system grows with intention rather than sprawl. • Define the contribution model and governance — versioning, changelogs, intake, and quality bars — and implement automated guardrails that let teams extend the system without fragmentation. • Build the single source of truth that replaces disparate tools as the canonical reference for Kin's design patterns. • Advocate for accessibility in components so teams inherit it by default, using automated testing and AI-assisted audits to proactively identify compliance gaps. • Partner across Product, Engineering, and embedded domain designers to make the system the easiest path to a cohesive, on-brand experience across every surface.

🎯 Requirements

• A track record of taking a design system from audit through architecture to adoption — you treat the system as a product, not a deliverable. • Significant visual and product design experience, commonly 7+ years, with a meaningful stretch focused specifically on design systems work. • Deep fluency in token architecture (primitive / semantic / component) and mastery of Figma as a systems tool — variables, libraries, and modes. • Proven ability to leverage AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate manual tasks, automate documentation, and speed up the design-to-code feedback loop. • The ability to influence without authority — you set direction and bring partners along across a federated org without relying on positional power. • Comfort operating in ambiguity and 0-to-1 spaces, where the structure doesn't exist yet and you're the one building it. • Bonus if you have: • - Experience in insurance, fintech, or other complex, regulated, high-consideration product domains. • - Familiarity with the design-to-code toolchain — Storybook/Chromatic, a token transformer like Style Dictionary, and how tokens land in a real front-end stack (Angular, Rails, etc.). • - Comfort reading or contributing to component code.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and company equity through Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), granted as part of our standard compensation package and based on role and level • This role is eligible to earn additional compensation annually through participation in our Kin Leadership Incentive Plan • 401(k) with company match up to 4% of eligible earnings • Multiple medical plan options, plus dental and vision coverage • Company-funded HSA contributions (based on medical plan selection) • Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability • Employee referral bonuses • A variety of supplemental benefit options, including long-term disability, critical illness, accident, legal, and pet insurance • Access to mental health support and confidential counseling resources • Flexible PTO for exempt employees (most employees take 15–20 days per year), plus 8 company-observed holidays • Paid parental leave, including up to 14 weeks at 100% pay for birthing parents and 8 weeks at 100% pay for non-birthing parents • Career mobility and internal growth opportunities across the organization • Professional development budgets for certifications, conferences, and learning available, subject to management approval
