## About the role

Own the design system strategy and roadmap: define what the system needs to become, set priorities, establish governance, and build the contribution model that makes it sustainable as the team and product grow. Define the AI enablement strategy for design-to-engineering: determine how AI tools are integrated into the workflow from prototype to production, and build the systems that make the whole team faster and higher-quality.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of experience working across design and front-end engineering, with a portfolio that demonstrates both craft and leadership impact
- Proven experience building and scaling design systems: owning the roadmap, governance, and adoption strategy across a product organization, not just contributing components
- A strong, defensible point of view on what makes a great design system, backed by experience driving adoption across a product organization: not just building it, but getting designers and engineers to actually use it
- Deep front-end engineering skills (TypeScript, React, CSS) alongside genuine design taste. Comfortable reading and writing production code, but leading through judgment rather than throughput
- Experience defining technical strategy for design tooling, developer experience, or design-to-engineering workflows
- Experience thinking through how AI tools change team-level design and engineering workflows, and building systems or processes around that
