Sr. Product Designer, Design Systems
About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer, Design Systems to evolve the shared foundations behind our enterprise product experience, including the standards our increasingly agentic products need. You’ll turn recurring experience problems into reusable patterns and codify the intent behind them, helping designers, engineers, and AI-assisted development tools work from the same standards. This systems-and-behavior role spans experience standards, machine-readable specifications, working prototypes, verification, and implementation. You’ll independently own significant system initiatives while partnering with Design Systems leadership and engineering on system strategy, governance, and platform architecture.
Responsibilities
- Turn product problems into system standards.
- Own complex initiatives from problem definition through implementation.
- Decide what becomes a shared pattern, what stays product-specific, and why.
- Use accessibility requirements, product usage, adoption, and implementation friction to determine what the system should standardize, change, or retire.
- Contribute to governance and contribution models that keep those decisions durable.
- Codify and verify standards humans and agents can use.
- Help define the experience requirements and standards that should become consumable by AI-assisted development tools.
- Turn recurring experience decisions, including approval, agent status, recovery, and accessibility requirements, into structured rules, metadata, examples, and tests.
- Partner with Design Systems leadership and engineering to shape the machine-readable contract and how conformance is evaluated.
- Establish reusable agentic patterns.
- Define how delegation works in our products and how the system earns greater autonomy through demonstrated reliability.
- Design complex, stateful interactions that make oversight, intervention, edge cases, and recovery clear and consistent.
- Prototype working behavior.
- Move beyond static screens when behavior is the problem.
- Prototype interactions, states, transitions, and agentic behaviors at the fidelity needed to make sound decisions.
- Partner closely with engineers to ensure the intended experience carries through into production.
- Independently own significant design-system initiatives while partnering with Design Systems leadership and engineering on strategy, governance, platform architecture, and implementation.
- Use technical fluency in service of experience judgment and verification.
- Be comfortable prototyping interactive behavior and working with component architecture, structured specifications, and modern frontend constraints.
- Success in the first-year means recurring experience problems are solved through reusable standards, product teams choose shared patterns because they are the best path, design intent carries clearly into production, and agentic products share a common vocabulary for delegation, oversight, and recovery.
