We’re looking for a Product Designer to join Culture Amp’s Design Systems team within the Core Services Camp. You’ll help maintain and evolve our design system, Kaizen, enabling product teams to ship cohesive, accessible, and high‑quality experiences efficiently across the platform. You’ll collaborate closely with designers and engineers to deliver reusable components, clear documentation, and pragmatic patterns that balance usability, accessibility, and technical feasibility.
How we workYou’ll be part of a collaborative Unified Systems team in Core Services, partnering across product teams to ensure our design system remains a reliable, scalable foundation. The work blends system stewardship (components, tokens, guidance) with practical enablement so teams can move faster while delivering consistent, accessible experiences.
What you’ll do- Contribute to the design, development, maintenance, and scaling of design system components, foundations, and patterns, with a focus on accessibility, usability, and consistency.
- Create and improve documentation, usage guidelines, and examples that help product teams adopt the system effectively.
- Partner with engineers to ensure high‑quality implementation of components and patterns; participate in reviews to uphold standards and technical excellence.
- Support teams using the system: answering questions, reviewing adoption, and helping teams use components correctly rather than just shipping one-offs.
- Identify inconsistencies, outdated patterns, or accessibility gaps via audits and stress testing, and propose improvements.
- Advocate for and apply accessibility best practices (e.g., WCAG), ensuring components and guidance are inclusive by default.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally to solve real product use cases with feasible, scalable system solutions and provide day‑to‑day enablement.
- Contribute to design system rituals by participating in critiques, shaping team processes, and helping define how the team works.
- Improve tools, processes, and workflows that make contribution and adoption smoother over time.
- Align your work to company and platform objectives, helping embed system‑level thinking into initiatives across teams.
- 3+ years’ experience in design systems, product design, or related roles (SaaS/tech preferred), with examples of shipping reusable UI and guidance.
- High Figma proficiency — variables, component architecture, auto-layout, naming conventions, and library management. Can audit a library and identify structural issues.
- Familiarity with design system tooling beyond Figma, including design tokens, component libraries, and documentation tools like Storybook.
- Working understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, and common JavaScript frameworks) to collaborate effectively with engineering.
- Solid grasp of accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and usability principles.
- Systems thinking with strong attention to detail; you care about scalability and coherence across products.
- Proven ability to work cross‑functionally with designers, engineers, and stakeholders.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills; you document decisions and advocate for guidelines effectively.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted prototyping tools to accelerate design-to-development handoff and reduce implementation ambiguity.
- Data visualisation or complex component experience. Tables, charts, forms, or other high-complexity components that require deep systems thinking to get right.
- Familiarity with contribution models for design systems (governance, change management, release notes).
- Exposure to performance, accessibility testing, or visual regression tooling in collaboration with engineering.
