Senior Product Designer, Design Systems
About the role
Sentry is looking for a Senior Product Designer to help own and evolve our design system. This role involves designing, specing, and refining the components of our design system, Scraps. It's not just about designing features; it's about designing the building blocks that make features work better.
Responsibilities
- Own the component libraries, variables, and styles that define Sentry's design language — keeping them accurate, well-documented, and in sync with what's built in code
- Partner directly with design engineers to spec new components, refine existing ones, and ensure design intent translates cleanly into implementation
- Audit the product for pattern inconsistencies and drive consolidation — defining clear guidance for when to use what
- Create and maintain documentation, usage guidelines, and Storybook stories that help designers and engineers use the system correctly
- Build shared tools like lint rules, templates, and contribution workflows that scale consistency without slowing teams down
- Advocate for the design system across product teams — fielding questions, reviewing component usage, and coaching designers on best practices
Qualifications
- 5+ years designing complex software products, with meaningful experience in a design systems team at a comparable scale
- Deep fluency with Figma's design systems tooling — components, variants, variables, auto layout, shared libraries, and branching workflows
- Strong visual and interaction design skills with a sharp eye for spacing, hierarchy, and micro-interactions
- Experience collaborating closely with frontend engineers on component implementation — you can speak to props, states, and edge cases
- Comfortable creating and maintaining design documentation, usage guidelines, and contribution processes
- Able to balance long-term system thinking with the practical needs of product teams shipping on tight timelines
Bonus
- Hands-on experience with HTML/CSS, React, or Storybook; contributions to open-source design systems
