Job description

We build decision intelligence software that helps the world's biggest companies make better decisions with AI, replacing spreadsheets and slide decks with a mobile-first app that pushes actionable insights directly to decision-makers.

As a Senior Designer - Design Systems, you'll own and evolve the design system that makes that possible - the foundation that lets us be both fast and beautiful, and makes Aily feel like Aily. You'll shape the components, patterns, and guidelines that enable our team to move fast while maintaining consumer-grade quality across everything we ship.

You'll be deeply involved in product work - identifying where we need new patterns, designing them, and ensuring they're implemented correctly. You'll balance system consistency with the creative flexibility our designers need to solve novel problems.

What You'll Do

  • Own and evolve Aily's design system - components, patterns, tokens, and documentation
  • Partner with engineering to ensure design-to-code fidelity and maintainability
  • Work with product designers to understand emerging needs and create reusable solutions
  • Define and maintain quality standards across the product
  • Make strategic decisions about when to create new patterns vs. extend existing ones
  • Champion consistency while leaving room for innovation
  • Enable the team to ship faster by providing the right building blocks
  • Shape how our design system supports AI-native interactions and AI powered collaboration within the team

Requirements

  • 5+ years of product design experience, with significant focus on design systems

  • Deep understanding of component architecture and systematic design thinking

  • Experience collaborating closely with front-end engineers

  • Ability to balance perfectionism with pragmatism - shipping matters

  • Proactivity about integrating AI tools into our workflow

  • Bachelor's degree in a creative discipline or human-computer interaction

  • Fluent English
