Product Designer (Design Systems)

125k – 160kNew York, NYProduct DesignOnsite4+ YOE
Summary

Owns and builds design system from scratch for fintech platform, partnering with engineers for clean implementation. Requires 4+ years experience with Figma, tokens, and frontend familiarity; strong systems thinking shown in portfolio.

About the role

What you’ll do

  • Own the Tabs design system end-to-end: components, patterns, tokens, and documentation
  • Lead token strategy: semantic structure, theming, density, and extensibility across products
  • Work closely with frontend engineers to ensure components are implemented accurately and the system is integrated into real development workflows
  • Audit existing product UI to identify inconsistencies and systematise solutions rather than one-off fixes
  • Define and maintain documentation standards so the system is usable without hand-holding
  • Validate components against real product contexts, identifying gaps and edge cases before they become production problems
  • Contribute to accessibility standards and encode them into the system itself, not just guidelines
  • Establish a contribution model so engineers and future designers can add to the system without breaking it

What we’re looking for

  • 4+ years as a Product or UI Designer with demonstrable design systems experience
  • Deep Figma expertise, components, variants, auto-layout, and library management at scale
  • Hands-on experience building or significantly evolving a design system, not just consuming one
  • Strong token pipeline experience: CSS variables, semantic token architectures, and tooling like Tokens Studio
  • Familiarity with frontend technologies, comfortable reading component code, understanding implementation constraints, and reviewing work in Storybook or equivalent
  • Strong design fundamentals: visual hierarchy, interaction patterns, responsive systems, and information density
  • Able to work with engineers as a peer, discussing implementation tradeoffs rather than just handing over specs
  • Portfolio that shows systems thinking: component libraries, token structures, documentation, or contribution frameworks. Not just polished screens

Nice to have

  • Experience in B2B SaaS or data-heavy products where UI complexity is high
  • Exposure to fintech or accounting tools
  • Coding experience, HTML/CSS, familiarity with React component libraries, or beyond
