Blacksmith Agency is hiring a senior, fully remote Design Systems Engineer to turn a client's brand and reference sites into the design system the team builds from. You own token architecture, type scales, spacing, colour roles and core components, structured for a build pipeline to read directly.
What you'll do
- Build tokens in Figma using variables, modes and semantic naming the pipeline can read
- Define type scale, spacing and colour roles from a client brand and reference sites
- Ship core component libraries that hold up across an entire site, not just a homepage
- Document components so a developer or pipeline can execute without questions
- Work across several client brands at once with the same structural rigor
- Stand up new client systems fast and get them right the first time
What we're looking for
- Senior-level, systems-first design experience
- Token architecture skills using Figma variables and modes
- Semantic naming conventions readable by a build pipeline
- Component library design and documentation for developer handoff
- Ability to work across multiple distinct client brands simultaneously
Good to know
- Fully remote across LatAm
- Overlapping US business hours
- Hiring steps: portfolio review, short paid trial project, conversation
