Product Designer, Design Systems (Contract)

About the role

This is a 3-month contract role (35-40 hrs/week) to accelerate the maturity of Noom's design system. You'll build a token structure that works cleanly across platforms, prepare our design system for AI tools, and close the gap between what's designed in Figma and what's actually built in code.

Responsibilities

• Build and scale design systems in Figma at a senior/staff level, including components, variants, and token architecture
• Bring deep expertise in platform design standards (Material Design, Apple HIG, Liquid Glass) and know when to deviate
• Design token and component structures that translate cleanly into code
• Work with engineers on Code Connect, linking Figma components to their code counterparts
• Advisory on structuring our design system so AI tools can use it reliably (docs, MD/JSON files)
• Mentor designers on semantic tokens and proper component-building
• Advise on a governance model for versioning, contributing, and retiring system updates
• Guide how a brand refresh rolls through the token layer without rebuilding every component
