📋 Description

• Define and evolve the multi-platform system (web + mobile) with clear architecture, governance, and scalability principles. • Own the roadmap and prioritization based on product needs, adoption gaps, and system performance. • Partner with Design and Creative leadership to ensure high craft, modern interaction patterns, and resilience to ongoing brand evolution. • Design and implement core system components, defining intuitive, flexible, and scalable APIs, variants, and composition patterns. • Ensure high standards for visual precision, fidelity, accessibility (React Aria), and interaction quality, motion, and state management. • Continuously refine components based on product usage and edge cases. • Implement automated quality systems, including visual regression testing, and continuously audit the system for usability and craft excellence. Act as a cross-functional steward of system quality. • Lead migration of legacy UI and ensure critical product surfaces (e.g., CTAs, checkout flows) are powered by the system, actively increasing adoption across the ecosystem. • Improve Developer Experience (DX) by creating intuitive, well-structured component APIs that balance flexibility and simplicity. • Establish a best-in-class tool-to-code pipeline (Figma, Claude, Builder, etc.) to map design artifacts to production components and prevent drift. • Partner with Engineering on architectural decisions (CI/CD, token systems, distribution infrastructure) and support enforcement mechanisms (linting, token constraints) to maintain system integrity. • Introduce and standardize AI-assisted workflows, structuring components for AI-friendly generation and integrating tools (Builder.io, Gemini, etc.) to improve consistency. • Mentor designers and engineers and create documentation that allows teams to move quickly within a well-governed system. • Identify strategic innovation opportunities, prototype new interaction models/motion systems, and codify successful innovations into the design system.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years in front-end, design, or creative engineering, with strong mobile focus (iOS/Android). • Proven track record building and scaling design systems and component libraries across multiple teams/products. • Expertise in React (Web) and React Native, and modern front-end architecture. • Demonstrated ability to design intuitive component APIs and developer-friendly systems. • Deep understanding of design craft (typography, motion, interaction, visual systems). • Experience driving adoption of shared systems and implementing design-to-code pipelines (tokens, Figma integration). • Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and workflows. • Strong systems thinking and ability to align Design, Engineering, and Creative stakeholders.
