Senior Product Designer - Design System

About the Team
Design is the foundation of Typeform. Our product is built on a bold and big idea, and we honor this innovation today. We favor bold choices, through experiences and our technology, to push our customers’ experience forward and stay relevant in a fast-moving landscape

When you join Typeform's Product Design team, you'll become a member of a dedicated, down-to-earth, and intelligent group of individuals who work remotely from various locations in the UK and Europe. We think it's kind of special, and see Typeform as the living, breathing company we are, rather than just a logo and a typeface.

About the Role

• Strategic Thinking: Scale the design system in line with long-term product and business goals.
• Ownership: Take responsibility for the design system's success, ensuring consistency and high standards.

What You Already Bring to the Table:

• English Proficiency: Convey information clearly, concisely, and engagingly.
• Deep Understanding of Design Systems: Experience in building, maintaining, and evolving reusable components and patterns.
• Familiarity with Design Tokens: Knowledge of how to use design tokens to implement design systems at scale.
• Expertise in UI/UX Design: Focus on creating intuitive, accessible, and engaging user experiences.
• Collaboration with Developers: Work closely with front-end developers to ensure seamless implementation of design components.
• Figma Mastery: Proficient in creating and documenting design components using Figma.
