## About the Role

* MUST HAVE: Direct experience with IBM's Carbon Design System.
 * MUST HAVE: Demonstrated experience building, extending, or maintaining a substantial design system in Figma.
 * MUST HAVE: Advanced proficiency with Figma components, component properties, variants, variables, modes, styles, libraries, and prototyping.

Project Scope and Deliverables

## Description

The contractor will audit and complete the existing Figma design system. Deliverables include:

 * Audit the current library and recommend a prioritized completion plan.
 * Finalize the variable and token structure and apply it consistently across the library.
 * Complete Meijer styling for the in-scope Carbon components using current Figma best practices.
 * Configure properties, variants, responsive behavior, and interactive states so designers can use components without detaching instances.
 * Strengthen the Data Table to support Meijer's data-heavy internal applications.
 * Create approximately three to five custom components, including navigation and card elements, based on gaps confirmed during the audit.
 * Collaborate with the Design System Developer to align Figma assets, tokens, naming, states, and coded components.
 * Publish the completed library and recommend a process for requesting, reviewing, and accepting future contributions.

If time permits after completing the approved light theme, the contractor may also establish or extend the variables and tokens required for a dark theme.
