As Product Designer Embedded in a squad alongside engineers, a PM, and researchers, you'll take full ownership of key product areas-from early concepts to high-fidelity delivery-on both mobile and web., * Proven experience as a product designer at a consumer-focused tech company. * Strong UX and visual design skills, with a sharp eye for mobile and responsive web experiences. * Comfortable working autonomously and collaboratively in cross-functional, remote-friendly teams. * A portfolio showcasing product work is required-applications without one will not be considered. ## Description We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to own two complementary responsibilities: leading the refactor and governance of our Design System, and-once the foundations are set-contributing as an embedded Product Designer within a squad. Phase 1 (:6 months): Fully dedicated to the Design System-building robust, scalable foundations, defining governance, and aligning the system with product and engineering needs. Phase 2 (ongoing): Embedded in a product squad, contributing to delivery and discovery, while maintaining stewardship of the Design System. As Design System Lead You will transform One Box's Design System into a scalable, enforceable product infrastructure that reduces rework, protects brand and UX consistency, and accelerates delivery across teams and devices (web, mobile, and digital kiosks). What you'll own: * Audit and refactor existing components, tokens, and patterns into a coherent, scalable architecture (tokens, spacing, typography, color, motion). * Build a multi-brand theming system that supports current and future brands. * Define and implement the governance model: decision rights, intake process, contribution workflows, versioning, and release cadence. * Partner with a dedicated DS Engineering team to ensure Figma-code parity and eliminate one-off UI implementations. * Structure system primitives for AI-assisted prototyping, keeping AI-generated concepts system-compliant. * Drive adoption across squads through documentation, training, and health metrics., * Lead design projects end-to-end, from discovery to final specs, with a focus on activation, retention, and engagement. * Rapidly produce concepts and prototypes, balancing exploration with execution. * Translate user insights, technical constraints, and business needs into well-crafted, data-informed solutions. * Collaborate closely with engineers, PMs, and researchers, incorporating their perspectives into your work. ## Related Videos - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Semantic HTML means it's semantic, right?
