Shape an AI-ready design system at the intersection of product design and engineering.

Project description

We are looking for a Product Designer with strong Design Systems experience and technical fluency. While this is primarily a design role, it operates at the intersection of design and engineering, with work spanning Figma, code, documentation and component logic.

A key focus is evolving the design system for AI and agentic use. This includes clear component contracts, meaningful token structures, machine-readable documentation and guidance that can be reliably understood by designers, engineers and AI agents.

YOUR MISSION:

  • Define and track design system health metrics, including adoption, reuse, design-code alignment and drift, and use these insights to prioritize improvements

  • Translate design system decisions into clear guidance for designers, engineers and AI agents

  • Identify and close gaps between Figma, documentation and code, treating all three as connected parts of the same source of truth

  • Validate components and patterns in real product contexts to identify implementation issues or incorrect usage

  • Prototype interactions in code where needed to test decisions and uncover edge cases

  • Use AI to support design system workflows, including audits, documentation, validation and reducing manual maintenance

  • Enable Product teams with agent-ready design systems to support automated workflows and processes

Project requirements

YOUR TECHNICAL EXPERTISE:

  • Strong experience with design systems across components, patterns, documentation and governance

  • Practical knowledge of HTML, CSS, responsive behaviour, component constraints and front-end implementation concepts

  • Ability to prototype realistic interactions and edge cases without operating as a full-time engineer

  • Confidence reviewing design-code alignment and identifying where implementation differs from design system intent

  • Hands-on experience using AI tools in design or documentation workflows

  • Working understanding of how AI agents consume structured documentation and tokens

  • Comfort defining and reporting on metrics and using data to shape priorities

YOUR PERSONALITY:

  • Strong collaboration skills across design, engineering, product and platform teams

THE FACTS:

  • Project start: asap

  • Hourly rate: depending on skill set and experience

  • Workload: Part-time, 2–3 days

  • Duration: Long-term / rolling, with no specific project timeline

  • Location: Fully remote

  • Project language: English
