Senior UI/UX Designer - Evinova

Here, the answers aren't always available. So, you'll need to bring a fearless, self-starter mindset to navigate uncharted territories. You'll harness your ceaseless energy to discover and make the necessary connections with colleagues to shape the future and achieve maximum impact., We are hiring a Senior UI/UX Designer to join the Futures Team and lead the next evolution of the Evinova Design System. They will play a critical role in orchestrating an AI-first design system to serve as the foundation for rapid prototyping and high-velocity product development across the organization.

This role sits at the intersection of design and technology, requiring a technical-minded approach to design. You will operate in close partnership with Design Engineering to close the gap between creative intent and technical implementation, moving beyond static libraries to create canonical, code-aligned components that power both human and AI-driven workflows.

You will be responsible for structuring design tokens, component prop surfaces, and patterns that are intelligible to generative AI and agentic models. You will influence system-level decisions, ensuring parity between Figma and our codebase, and establishing the structural rigor required to support next-generation tooling and design automation.

We're looking for:

• Designers who lead through practical example and influence: someone who can evangelize design system best practices across teams, build shared ownership with engineering and product, and co-lead cross-discipline governance to drive adoption at scale

• Systems thinkers who prioritize coherence, abstraction, and reuse, and who are comfortable designing component models and composition patterns rather than isolated screens

• Technically minded designers who are excited and willing to engage with code-first approaches, understand how component APIs and design tokens work in implementation, and can structure Figma libraries to mirror the architecture of a real codebase

• Self-directed individuals who can identify structural gaps in processes and standards, propose governance improvements, and drive work forward with minimal oversight

• Designers who are curious and proactive about integrating generative and agentic AI into their workflow, not necessarily technical experts, but people who see AI enablement and automation as a design system concern, not just an engineering one.

This role plays a foundational part in shaping how the Evinova Design System operates, how design and engineering collaborate, and how we establish the governance structures needed to support scale, speed, and quality., * Lead cross-functional alignment between Design, Engineering, and Product teams to establish shared standards, resolve systemic conflicts, and achieve consensus on architectural decisions.

• Drive the evolution of Figma libraries to align with code-first component architecture, emphasizing composability and parity with the implemented system.

• Enable AI-assisted workflows by structuring the design system so it can support generative layouts, design-to-code translation, and rapid prototyping tools.

• Refactor components and patterns to improve reuse, composability, and automation across multiple products.

• Integrate WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility requirements directly into component foundations so compliance is inherited by default.

• Produce canonical usage examples, documentation, and release notes that support both human understanding and machine-readable context for AI tooling.

• Perform design QA across Storybook and live environments to validate visual fidelity against Figma and create detailed, actionable issues for engineering.

• Enable adoption of design system standards across product teams through working sessions, guidance, and validation of architectural decisions in real implementation contexts.

• Drive system adoption by supporting designers in effective usage and capturing feedback to inform roadmap priorities and future improvements., Your wellbeing means a lot to us, and we're here to support you through all of life's ups and downs. That's why we offer an unpaid leave policy, annual leave, reduced-hours timetables and a host of benefits, including a retirement plan, long service award, and health and travel insurance.

Ready to make an impact in your career? If you're passionate, growth-orientated and a true team player, we'll help you succeed. Here are some of the skills and capabilities we look for., Seize ownership and excel with autonomy to enjoy the constant rush of ground-breaking discovery. Your ability to anticipate sudden shifts and adapt swiftly will prove critical as you make your mark in an environment that rewards initiative and resilience., * Excellent leadership, collaboration, and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams

• Expert Figma skills and familiarity with design tokens, branching, and variables

• Extensive hands-on experience in UX, UI, interaction design, and information architecture, with demonstrated strength in systems thinking and designing end-to-end experiences for complex, data- and workflow-driven digital products

• Deep experience building, evolving, and applying design systems in close collaboration with engineering to drive consistency, scalability, and delivery efficiency across products

• Demonstrated ability to align design artefacts with implementation models such as component APIs, slots, and composition patterns

• Demonstrated experience delivering WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliant products, embedding accessibility and inclusive design into everyday design practice

• Strong ability to synthesize quantitative and qualitative inputs, frame ambiguous problems, and make informed design decisions within technical, data, and regulatory constraints

• Comfortable working independently, navigating ambiguity, and owning complex design problems in B2B or B2B2C software environments

• Based in the Mississauga or Greater Toronto Area, with willingness to collaborate in office and travel as needed

• Ability to operate at pace and navigate changes in scope and approach based on shifting market signals and customer demand

We also value:

• Experience in healthcare and/or digital health sectors

• Experience designing AI-native recommendation or simulation products in collaboration with data science and engineering partners

• Familiarity with clinical trials and the drug development lifecycle

• A non-linear career path and diverse life experiences that enrich your perspective as a designer

• A second language (and every additional language is a plus)
