User Interface and Design System Lead

As a leading professional in user interface and design systems, you will be responsible for creating and implementing scalable digital design systems.

This role is ideal for experienced designers who can create high-quality UI components and define strategic direction.

The ideal candidate should have deep knowledge of atomic design principles and be able to work closely with product designers, UI developers, product managers, and brand teams to implement the design system across projects.

  • Lead the development and maintenance of a scalable digital design system, including defining its visual language, interaction patterns, and component libraries.
  • Build and refine UI components and patterns as needed, serving as a hands-on design expert.
  • Maintain a scalable, reusable component library (design tokens, style guides) and ensure all new UI components meet established design standards. Establish governance for consistency, document guidelines and best practices, and manage version control.
  • Work closely with Product designers, UI developers, Product managers, and brand teams to implement the design system across projects. Bridge design and development by collaborating with engineers on integrating UI components into code and resolving implementation issues.
  • Adopt and improve the governance model for how the design system is used and evolved.
  • Manage and mentor the UI designer reporting into this role. Provide guidance, set standards for design work, and foster skill development.
Requirements
  • Proven outstanding ability in UI design with a strong eye for aesthetics and detail. Proficient in Figma for creating and maintaining design assets.
  • Hands-on experience building and managing a design system, including creating style guides, component libraries, or design language systems.
  • Good understanding of front-end development (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) and ability to communicate effectively with developers and understand the technical constraints/feasibility of UI components.
  • Knowledge of UI component libraries or design frameworks (e.g., Hero UI, Material Design, Bootstrap) and how to leverage them or similar resources to accelerate design and development.
  • Strategic mindset to define a long-term design system roadmap and evolve the system over time.
