Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Middle Product Designer (Design Systems) - **Company:** GR8 TECHNOLOGIES LLC - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Experienced - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Adobe Analytics, Computer Literacy, Mobile Application Software, Responsive Web Design, Systems Architecture, Management of Software Versions, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, Web Platforms, Website Wireframe, Figma - **Published:** August 19, 2026 - **Apply:** https://arc.dev/remote-jobs/j/redirect/pdl80v9hnk ## About the Role * Ukrainian/Russian proficiency is required. * 3+ years of experience as a Product Designer, with at least 1 year dedicated to building and maintaining a production design system used by other teams. * Expert-level mastery of Figma, including advanced component architecture, sets, variable layers, design tokens, and multi-brand theming. * Strong technical literacy-ability to read HTML/CSS/JSX or Storybook pages and hold constructive technical conversations with front-end developers. * Practical understanding of responsive design best practices across various breakpoints and platform constraints. * Familiarity with WCAG AA accessibility standards (focus states, contrast ratios, keyboard navigation). * Proven ability to conduct usability research, iterate on prototypes, and define requirements based on team briefs. * Exceptional communication skills to articulate system decisions, facilitate cross-team alignment, and manage feature requests diplomatically. Nice-to-have * Hands-on experience working in or closely alongside a dedicated Design Ops function. * Familiarity with visual design principles and brand consistency across marketing and product touchpoints. * Track record of establishing deprecation strategies and managing large-scale UI kit migrations. ## Description This role exists to own and advance the core design system that powers all our web and mobile app platforms. You'll help us build a productive, minimal, and human product experience by maintaining scalable design libraries, aligning token architecture with front-end code, and keeping our design ecosystem grounded in real product problems. What you'll drive: System Architecture & Tokens * Build and maintain components, widgets, and primitives in Figma using advanced variants, properties, auto layout, and constraints. * Own the variable and token architecture across primitive, semantic, and component layers, including multi-brand theme modes. * Audit the library regularly to manage versioning, plan deprecations, and systematically reduce design debt. Developer Alignment & Implementation * Partner with front-end developers during implementation, reviewing built components to ensure code accurately matches Figma designs. * Align component properties, states, and naming conventions directly between Figma libraries and front-end code (e.g., Storybook). * Define and document design patterns, usage guidelines, and responsive behavior rules to ensure seamless multi-breakpoint execution. Adoption, Enablement & Operations * Support product and graphic designers in adopting the system through onboarding, usage reviews, and component gap analysis. * Establish clear processes for collecting system requests, evaluating new pattern proposals, and resolving library friction. * Communicate the reasoning behind system decisions transparently, keeping all internal stakeholders aligned around core standards. Product Design & Research * Design end-to-end features, flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes to solve real product problems and keep the system grounded. * Validate design hypotheses alongside UX Researchers and Product Managers using usability tests, interviews, and user feedback. * Enforce WCAG AA accessibility fundamentals (contrast, focus states, keyboard navigation, hit areas) across all digital platforms. ## Related Videos - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) - [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) - [3x Performance: A Humbling Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100165-3x-performance-a-humbling-journey) - [Project Fugu: Extending the web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/832-project-fugu-extending-the-web) - [Design Systems and how to develop consistent and scalable products with them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/639-design-systems-and-how-to-develop-consistent-and-scalable-products-with-them) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) ## Related Articles - [10 Essential Figma Plugins for Frontend Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/262-10-essential-figma-plugins-for-frontend-developers-in-2023) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Declarative Design and a fresh take on collaboration with developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/595-declarative-design-and-a-fresh-take-on-collaboration-with-developers) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Are design and development really just the same thing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/520-are-design-and-development-really-just-the-same-thing) - [Top 7 CSS Frameworks in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/362-top-7-css-frameworks-in-2025)
