About the Role

We’re seeking a Senior UX Designer, Design Systems to own and evolve the design system that powers our suite of digital tax products. You’ll be responsible for maintaining sharp components, consistent patterns, and a scalable system as the product grows. This is a craft-first individual contributor role for a designer who obsesses over details like token naming, component behavior, and documentation clarity, possessing the UX breadth to understand system impact and technical curiosity to collaborate with engineers.

Responsibilities

Be the go-to authority for our design system, setting and maintaining standards for component building, naming, documentation, and usage.
Educate and support designers on system usage, fostering a culture of understanding and trust.
Identify and prioritize gaps, inconsistencies, and debt within the system for impactful improvements.
Collaborate with Engineering to ensure accurate translation of design system components into code.
Partner with product designers to gather feedback and evolve components and patterns.
Engage with Product and Visual Design to ensure new patterns align with product needs and visual standards.
Serve as a critical partner in design system governance, contributing design and craft perspectives.
Design, build, and maintain a library of reusable Figma components with clear documentation.
Own and maintain the token and variable architecture in Figma for scalability and synchronization with engineering.
Write and maintain clear, practical documentation for components and patterns, including usage guidelines and implementation notes.
Integrate accessibility into the system from the ground up, ensuring compliance with WCAG, ARIA, and contrast ratio standards.

Requirements

5–8 years of product/UX design experience, with significant time spent owning or contributing to an enterprise-level design system.
Proven track record of building, maintaining, and scaling component libraries adopted by product teams.
Financial, enterprise, or B2B background is a plus.
Demonstrated ability with AI tools and processes that accelerate design and research.
Portfolio or work samples demonstrating design system thinking and execution.
Deep Figma expertise in variables, tokens, component properties, auto-layout, and library management.
Solid understanding of how design systems translate into code.
Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and component-based frameworks (React, etc.) is a meaningful plus.
Detail-oriented with a focus on naming conventions, component states, and edge cases.
Systems thinking ability to understand the ripple effect of component decisions across a product suite.
Comfortable at the intersection of design and engineering, able to communicate effectively with both disciplines.
All candidates must include a digital portfolio or link in their application.
