We re building Zeta Developer Platform , our next-generation Marketing Operating System launching in 2026, and we need a Senior Product Designer to own and evolve its design system. This is a foundational role focused on creating the components, patterns, and guidelines that ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency across Zeta Developer Platform and our vertical applications. You ll join at a pivotal moment where we re raising the bar on quality, speed, and innovation.

We re looking for someone who can challenge us in the best way: bringing deep expertise in design systems, component architecture, and cross-functional collaboration to push our thinking forward and help us achieve what hasn t been done before.

This is a foundational role for a product that will define our company s future. You won t just be maintaining a component library—you ll be architecting the design infrastructure for an entire operating system.

• Direct Impact on Zeta Developer Platform Launch:
  Your work is critical to our 2026 success
• High Autonomy:
  Creative freedom and strategic ownership over the design system
• Scale & Complexity:
  Build a system that powers multiple products and use cases
• Emerging Patterns:
  Help define how AI and agentic interactions manifest in our UI
• Room to Shape the Future:
  Influence not just what we build, but how we work as a team

We re evolving how we work to reach the next level:

• Vision over hand-holding leads to more creativity and innovation
• Empowerment and delegation leads to more accountability and ownership
• Strategy and clarity means less management, more impact
• Challenge and growth creates better outcomes through healthy debate

We value people who bring ideas on what we should stop doing, start doing, or change to elevate our team.

• Own the Design System: Lead the strategy, architecture, and evolution of our design system. You ll define component libraries, design tokens, interaction patterns, and documentation that enable teams to build cohesive, high-quality experiences at scale.
• Build Production-Ready Components: Go beyond static designs to create functional, accessible components. You ll work closely with engineering to ensure design system assets translate seamlessly into code, maintaining fidelity from Figma to production.
• Establish Patterns and Guidelines: Define and document UX patterns, accessibility standards, and best practices that guide how teams design and build across the platform. You ll create resources that empower designers and developers to work faster without sacrificing quality.
• Drive Adoption and Enablement: Champion the design system across the organization. You ll partner with product teams to ensure adoption, gather feedback, and continuously improve the system based on real-world usage.
• Design for Emerging Capabilities: As we integrate AI and agentic features into Zeta Developer Platform , you ll help define patterns for new interaction models—ensuring these capabilities feel native to the system rather than bolted on.
• Lead with Vision and Accountability: Drive design system strategy with clear ownership and decision-making authority. You ll operate with high autonomy, identifying opportunities for improvement, and taking full accountability for the system s success.
