Product Design Systems Designer (Remote, Alajuela)

Blacksmith Agency – Design – Full‑time – Remote (Latin America)

About the role

Blacksmith Agency builds websites and marketing programs for clients across the US. As a Product Design Systems Designer you own how client design systems get built. You take a brand and reference sites, then extract the pattern into a working system—tokens, variables, modes, and core components—a build pipeline can execute without asking you questions. This is a senior, systems‑first seat focused on standing up new systems quickly and correctly across several client brands.

Responsibilities

• Build token architecture in Figma using variables, modes, and semantic naming that our pipeline can read predictably.
• Ship core component libraries that hold up across an entire site, not just a homepage.
• Document the system so a developer or an automated pipeline can execute it without questions.
• Work across several client brands simultaneously, each looking distinctly different, while maintaining the same structural rigor.

Requirements

• 4+ years designing for the web with real design‑system work in your portfolio.
• Fluency in Figma variables, component properties, auto layout, and variants—actual architecture, not just tidy files.
• A portfolio showing varied client work with consistent underlying rigor.
• Strong English proficiency and ability to overlap with US business hours.
