- Design, maintain, and evolve our component library and design tokens (color, typography, spacing)
- Partner with engineering to ensure components are built to spec and stay in sync across Figma and in-app implementation
- Establish and document usage guidelines, accessibility standards, and contribution processes so other teams can adopt and extend the system confidently

- Own end-to-end UX for one of our primary banking workflows, from discovery through shipped iteration
- Partner with product managers to ensure product features align with both user needs and strategic business initiatives
- Collaborate with product designers to give regular feedback on in-app design iteration

## Requirements

- Strong proficiency in Figma (variables, component architecture, auto-layout)
- Experience with design token pipelines and tooling (Style Dictionary, Token Studio)
- Familiarity with native mobile design fundamentals for iOS and Android (Swift UI / Jetpack Compose patterns)
- Knowledge of AI best practices in design system maintenance
- Experience with accessibility standards (WCAG)
- Excellent cross-functional communication and documentation skills

## Nice to Have

- Experience using AI-assisted design workflows day to day (AI prototyping tools, refining designs with LLM-based assistants, or AI design audits)
- Familiarity with design-to-code workflows and tooling such as Figma Code Connect, MCP-based integrations, or agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc)
- Responsive web design
- UI / visual design
- Fintech product work

This role has a base salary range of $135,000 - $172,000. Compensation is determined based on experience, skill level, and qualifications, which are assessed during the interview process.
