You're a systems thinker who looks beyond individual components to improve entire workflows, have an exceptional eye for visual detail, and communicate equally well with designers and engineers. You've shipped high-quality mobile or web applications and can demonstrate both technical execution and thoughtful design systems thinking.
Bonus experience includes React Native, token pipelines, Storybook, Figma plugins, or using AI to improve design workflows. Reports to Head of Design. Bachelor's degree or equivalent required.
