Senior Product Designer, Design Systems

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of two comprehensive design systems—institutional and consumer—encompassing components, design tokens, theming, patterns, and Figma libraries across both web and mobile platforms.

• Assist the marketing team's design system as necessary to uphold brand consistency and facilitate seamless design-to-code workflows.

• Establish the visual language, motion principles, and interaction specifics for both design systems.

• Create and deliver system primitives, atoms, molecules, organisms, and page templates with refined interaction details, rigorous visual hierarchy, typography, and layout.

• Collaborate closely with UI engineers to align tokens and components with the production component library, ensuring synchronization between Figma and code.

• Define the behavior of the mobile system, focusing on platform-appropriate interactions, responsive/adaptive behavior, and web/native parity rules.

• Guarantee that components comply with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards, covering contrast, focus, keyboard behavior, motion, and screen-reader semantics.

• Develop documentation, usage guidelines, do/don’t examples, and contribution guides for designers, engineers, and AI agents.

• Manage cross-team governance, overseeing contributions, reviews, versioning, deprecation, adoption tracking, and system-change discussions.

• Actively audit products for gaps, inconsistencies, and system drift, prioritizing and leading fixes.

• Utilize AI tools, agents, markdown guideline files, and MCP integrations in daily design-system tasks.

• Promote the adoption and measurable coverage of both design systems across institutional and consumer web and mobile products.

• Maintain consistency between Figma libraries and front-end component libraries.

• Assist product teams in delivering faster with fewer one-off components and shorter design-to-build cycles.

⛳️ Requirements

• At least 6 years of experience in product design, with a minimum of 3 years focused specifically on design systems.

• Proven experience in building and scaling a shared design system across multiple products and platforms, including web and mobile, as well as mobile-specific design systems and interactions.

• Strong proficiency in UI craftsmanship: visual hierarchy, typography, layout, polished interaction details, motion, and visual expression.

• Experience in developing scalable components and design tokens, including theming.

• Solid understanding of how components and tokens are translated into front-end libraries, such as React, React Native, or Swift/Kotlin component libraries.

• Advanced skills in Figma, including variables and modes, auto layout, component properties, and large-scale library management.

• Proven track record of collaborating closely with engineers as a daily partner.

• Strong knowledge of accessibility standards and experience delivering WCAG AA compliant components.

• Experience in writing clear documentation and facilitating governance across teams, including contribution models, review procedures, and adoption strategies.

• Proficiency with AI tools in design or engineering workflows, including agents, markdown guideline files, and MCP integrations.

• Familiarity with design-to-code tools such as Code Connect, token pipelines, or Storybook.

• A systems thinking approach and keen attention to detail.

• A portfolio demonstrating design system work, including components, tokens, documentation, and design rationale.

• Experience with crypto, on-chain, tokenized asset, fintech, exchange, or trading platform products is a plus.

• Experience establishing motion and interaction standards is desirable.

• Working proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a nice advantage.
