Senior Product Designer - Design Systems - Remote - EMEA

NOTE:
This is a FULLY remote role, but the candidate must be within EMEA to collaborate with their team, peers, and internal customers. You do not have to be in the specific country or city shown in this listing, but please only apply if you are physically based within EMEA.

As the foundational owner of our design system, you will work with other designers and engineers to establish components, patterns, and documentation that form the backbone of our platform. You will also aid in the integration of AI to enhance our workflows, drive consistency, and unlock new creative possibilities. A key part of this mission is to forge a stronger partnership between our design and front-end engineering teams, creating a future where design has greater ownership over the system's implementation.

While you architect this future, you will remain a hands-on member of our product design team, contributing to and owning key features end to end. This ensures our design system is built on a practical foundation and is perfectly aligned with the real-world needs of our product and users.

• Continue the development of our design system: Lead and own the strategy, roadmap and development for our design system, currently in Figma. Collaborate across teams to support implementation. Evolve our design system by integrating AI-tooling (e.g. Claude Code), skills and agents to improve design output. Additionally, stay on the cutting edge of AI advancements, ensuring the system scales and adapts to future needs.
• Forge the Bridge Between Design and Engineering: Develop and implement new collaborative workflows to bring our design and front-end teams closer. You will define the strategy for the design team to contribute to the design system, now to Figma, and, looking ahead, to production.
• Develop and Document: Design, build, and maintain a comprehensive library of reusable components, patterns, and guidelines. Create clear, accessible documentation that will empower our teams to build efficiently and consistently.
• Drive Adoption and Consistency: Be the primary advocate for the new design system, providing the training and support necessary to embed it across the organization.
• Contribute to and own product features: Actively participate in the end-to-end product development lifecycle, applying your skills in user research, wire framing, prototyping, and high-fidelity design to deliver new features. In some cases supporting other designers and in other cases owning the feature end to end.
• Innovate and influence: Champion and pioneer the integration of AI into our design practice by researching and piloting new tools and methodologies. You will guide and inspire the team, fostering a culture of curiosity and systems thinking, and demonstrate the value of AI from initial research through to final production.

• Extensive
  
  Experience:
  
  A minimum of 6+ years in product design, with a proven track record of creating and scaling design systems from an early stage.
• A Strong Portfolio: A portfolio that showcases your expertise in both design systems and product design, demonstrating a deep understanding of user-centered design principles and systems thinking.
• A Passion for Emerging Technology: A genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for the application of AI in the design process. While you don't need to be an AI expert, you should be eager to learn, experiment, and lead in this space.
• Technical Acumen: A strong understanding of front-end technologies (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React) and a history of successful collaboration with engineers. Experience with component-based architecture is a significant plus.
• Visionary Leadership: The ability to define a clear vision for a new initiative, influence stakeholders, and guide teams through change.
• Exceptional Communication: The ability to clearly articulate complex design concepts and advocate for the long-term strategic value of investing in a design system and AI.

If you are a builder at heart and are excited by the challenge of creating a world-class design system while leading a team into the future of AI-powered design, we would love to hear from you.
