  • System governance: Help audit existing components for consistency, accessibility (WCAG standards), and adherence to established design tokens and principles
  • Design & development collaboration: Work closely with Product Designers and Front-End Engineers to ensure design system components are implemented accurately and are scalable in code
  • Guideline Creation: Write clear, concise usage guidelines, accessibility notes, and best practices for components to empower product teams across the organization
  • Tooling & process improvement: Assist in identifying and documenting opportunities to improve the workflow between design and engineering using Phi
  • User feedback & research: Gather internal feedback from product teams on the usability of the design system and propose practical solutions for system improvement.

Requirements

  • Actively pursuing a Graduate level degree in Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Graphic Design or similar field graduating in December 2026 or June 2027
  • Located within the U.S. and able to work full-time in our San Francisco HQ (40 hours per week) between June 2026 - August / September 2026

  • Your portfolio must demonstrate a deep understanding of systematic design thinking, component logic, and the relationship between design and engineering
  • Specifically, showcase your proficiency with modern design tools (like Figma), including the use of Auto Layout, Variables/Tokens, and nesting/composition that enable component scalability
  • Describe your design process for solving problems with system constraints in mind, such as optimizing for accessibility (WCAG standards) or creating clear, reusable documentation/guidelines
  • We are interested in use cases that show how you organize files, structure components, and approach a problem from a framework perspective, not just the final visual output.

What we offer

  • Equity
  • Generous health benefits
  • Flexible time off policy
  • Paid bonding time for all new parents
  • Traditional and Roth 401k
