About the role
Collage is Etsy's design system, and it's how quality ships at scale. Every buyer and seller surface across web, iOS, Android, and Flutter is built from it. As a Staff Product Designer on the Design Systems team within UX Platform, you will help drive growth and architecture of that system: how components are structured, how they compose, how they hold up across four platforms and two different sides of a marketplace, and how they get better over time. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A transparent way of working. You write things down, share reasoning, and open problems up instead of absorbing them. People around you get more capable as a byproduct of how you operate
- Genuine comfort working with engineers. You can read a component implementation, hold a conversation about build constraints, and change your design because of what you learn
- Strong visual craft and a rigorous eye for typography, color, space, and density as system-level decisions, with accessibility standards built into those decisions rather than bolted on afterward
- The ability to operate in ambiguity, frame a poorly-defined problem, align stakeholders in a unified direction, and execute without a clear brief
- Excellent communication and storytelling. You can walk leadership level audiences through why the system is structured the way it is, and walk an engineer through a token migration, with equal clarity
