Senior Product Designer (Design Systems)

• Champion accessibility (WCAG) as a system-level guarantee and manage the backlog with product and engineering partners.

Make the System AI-native

• Structure tokens and components so agentic design-to-code and prompt-to-design workflows produce on-system output.

• Build and maintain Code Connect mappings, MCP integrations, and structured component metadata.

• Implement AI-assisted audits and linting to catch off-system usage and token misuse before they ship.

• Use AI to keep documentation verified and versioned alongside the components it describes.

• Prototype Figma plugins and agent workflows to remove repetitive tasks for the wider design team.

Drive Adoption and Enablement

• Articulate the system’s value in efficiency and quality to stakeholders ranging from ICs to executives.

• Facilitate design system guilds and critiques, and synthesize cross-vertical feedback into prioritized improvements.

• Raise the organization's AI proficiency through workshops and training material.

Partner and Influence

• Work closely with engineering to translate design patterns into deployable components, ensuring technical feasibility.

• Apply judgment to manage component bloat; for example, maintaining separate architectures (like Quick cards) when merging variants creates excessive technical complexity.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to align on design system goals and product strategy.

What You'll Need:

• 5+ years experience in product design, with at least 3 years dedicated to design systems at scale (ideally, multi-brand or super-app environments).

• Advanced knowledge of variables, token architecture, component APIs, library management, and branching.

• Demonstrated experience building real workflows with LLMs and agentic tools (e.g., Figma Plugin API, MCP-based integrations, or prompt design).

• Ability to prototype in JavaScript/TypeScript, JSON, and manage design token pipelines.

• Ability to distinguish semantic intent from value coincidence and manage complexity through unification.

• Excellent English writing and presentation skills.

Bonus Points

• Experience with RTL/Arabic-first products or the Middle East market.

• Experience with production design-to-code pipelines (Code Connect, token transformation).

• Active participation in the AI × design community (open-source contributions, speaking, or writing).
