Responsibilities

- Audit the product for pattern inconsistencies and drive consolidation — defining clear guidance for when to use what
- Create and maintain documentation, usage guidelines, and Storybook stories that help designers and engineers use the system correctly
- Build shared tools like lint rules, templates, and contribution workflows that scale consistency without slowing teams down
- Advocate for the design system across product teams — fielding questions, reviewing component usage, and coaching designers on best practices

- Deep fluency with Figma's design systems tooling — components, variants, variables, auto layout, shared libraries, and branching workflows
- Strong visual and interaction design skills with a sharp eye for spacing, hierarchy, and micro-interactions
- Experience collaborating closely with frontend engineers on component implementation — you can speak to props, states, and edge cases
