Product Designer (Design Systems)

Join our small, high-craft team as a Product Designer focused on design systems. You'll work at the intersection of research, invention, and product thinking, creating consumer and B2B experiences used by millions. Your role will involve improving the collaboration between design and engineering, establishing an agent-first design system, and ensuring the quality and usefulness of the system. You'll work across iOS, Android, and web, with a focus on product surfaces.

• Collaborate closely with engineers to design and implement a world-class, agent-first design system that enhances the interaction between humans and AI agents.
• Lead the development and evolution of design components, ensuring they meet high standards of quality, usability, and accessibility, while also being adaptable for both mobile and web platforms.
• Establish and promote workflows, standards, and documentation that facilitate the adoption of the design system across the organization, making it the default choice for teams and agents.
• Fluency with AI in your craft. You’ve built repeatable ways of working with AI/agents and can explain what changed and why
• A systems thinker. You’d rather build the thing ten people use than ship one feature yourself
• Taste you can defend. You can pinpoint what’s off (spacing, motion, interaction states) and explain what’s right for Speak and why
• Accessibility and scale mindset. You think about how the system holds up as it grows across mobile and web
• Autonomy and end-to-end ownership. You thrive with little scaffolding and drive from problem → roadmap → shipped → adopted
• You’ve helped build a design system before. You’ve contributed meaningfully to components/patterns/tokens, governance, adoption, and the messy realities of getting it used
• 6+ years in product design, with real depth in design systems built on tokens, component APIs, and a single source of truth in code (not only a Figma library)
• Clear communication + cross-functional drive. You can write the rule, not just draw the component, and work across teams to drive adoption
• Built a design system engineers actually used — and that outlasted your time on the team
• A point of view on where design-to-code and agent workflows are heading, and what’s still broken
• Experience in language learning, education, or another domain where cross-cultural nuance shapes the product
• Shipped consumer-scale mobile products across many markets/locales
• Comfort building or changing components in code (Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, or web)
