Contract Designer, Spectrum Android

About the role

Design, our nearly 300-person product design group, is looking for a contract designer to join the Spectrum team and focus on our Android platform. Spectrum is ****'s design system, and it powers experiences across Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud. As ****'s mobile footprint grows, we need a designer who can help ensure Spectrum feels genuinely at home on Android, honoring Material guidelines where it matters while staying true to ****'s identity.

Responsibilities

• Design and refine Spectrum components for Android, balancing Material Design conventions with ****'s cross-platform design language.
• Work closely with engineering to scope components, refine implementation strategies, and craft specs that translate directly into Jetpack Compose.
• Collaborate with Spectrum designers working on iOS, web, and desktop to align patterns across platforms while respecting what makes each one unique.
• Contribute to documentation and usage guidance so product teams building ****'s Android apps can adopt components confidently.

Requirements

• Must have 5+ years of product design experience with significant time spent designing for Android.
• Fluency in Material Design and a clear point of view on when to follow it, when to extend it, and when to diverge.
• Experience designing components and patterns as part of a design system, not just screens or features.
• Strong collaboration skills with engineering partners, including familiarity with how Android components are built (Jetpack Compose experience a plus).
• Clear written and verbal communication, so you can explain a design decision to a designer, an engineer, and a PM, and each one walks away with what they need.
• Able to ramp quickly and work independently within an established system.

Qualifications

• Prior experience contributing to a public or large-scale design system.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards on Android (TalkBack, touch targets, motion preferences).
• Experience designing across multiple platforms (iOS, web) in addition to Android.
• Background working with creative or productivity tools.
