• Develop systems that define and measure design quality and automatically check product work against standards.
• Build AI prototyping tools and code-based checks of implementation quality.
• Own broad initiatives from strategy and research through hands-on prototyping and delivery.
• Partner with engineers, product managers and designers to raise craft and evolve the design language.
Requirements
• Typically eight or more years in product design or design systems, with Staff, Principal or Lead-level ownership.
