Posted Jul 30

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants anywhere in the world.
• Review the current application screens and identify the patterns that should be retained.
• Create the system in Figma from the ground up, including tokens, components, and patterns.
• Ensure all states are covered — default, hover, focus, active, disabled, error, empty, and loading.
• Collaborate with our designers and developers to ensure the system aligns with the existing production elements: naming conventions, structure, and tokens.
• Produce comprehensive documentation detailing when to use each component and when to avoid them, including do's and don'ts, specifications, and accessibility notes such as contrast, focus, and scaling — all documented per component.
• Provide a maintenance and contribution guide to ensure the system remains functional after your departure and assist in onboarding the current design team.
• Proven experience in design systems — a completed system that was developed within a collaborative team environment, showcased in your portfolio. Not merely screens.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma: adept with variables and tokens, components with variants and properties, auto-layout, published libraries, and Dev Mode.
• A keen visual sensibility. We require a combination of systems thinking and aesthetic judgment — lacking either will not meet our standards, as we are focused on premium consumer health products rather than internal tools.
• Strong documentation skills.
• Ability to work comfortably with AI assistance.
• Remote work with flexible hours.
• Short-term contract lasting between 1 to 3 months.
