Sr Product Designer I - US Remote

Design Lead, Design Systems 

Role Summary 

The Anywhere UX team is scaling quickly, and we’re looking for a Design Lead to guide the evolution of our design system. In this role, you’ll help drive consistency, scalability, efficiency, and quality across our products – ensuring designers and engineers have the tools, components, and foundations they need to deliver great experiences quickly and predictably.  

You’ll work hands-on in Figma, collaborating closely with product designers and engineers to refine our system’s structure, improve how design connects to code, and ensure that our design standards scale across a multi-product ecosystem. The role blends craft, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration – ideal for someone who loves getting into the details while helping teams move faster with clarity and confidence.  

 

What you’ll do 

• Advance our design system foundations – evolve and maintain components, patterns, and tokens to support a consistent, scalable design language across products.  

• Collaborate across disciplines – partner with product design and engineering to ensure the system meets both product and technical needs. 

• Bridge design and code – work closely with front-end engineers to improve component quality, naming, and handoff, ensuring parity between design and development. 

• Support contribution and feedback loops – help shape a healthy contribution model that allows teams to propose updates, share learnings, and continuously improve the design system. 

• Document and communicate – maintain clear documentation in tools like Zeroheight and Confluence to enable easy adoption and alignment. 

• Ensure quality and usability – review implementations, gather feedback, and ensure components maintain design integrity, adaptability, and alignment with system standards. 

• Support system governance – help define lightweight processes that keep updates organized and maintain clarity across teams and products.  

• Mentor through influence – support designers in using and contributing to the design system, fostering consistency and thoughtful flexibility in how we design.  

• Explore new tools and workflows – experiment with automation and AI-assisted solutions that enhance documentation, asset creation, and system management. 

 

What you bring 

• 8–12 years of experience in product design, with at least 5 years focused on design systems. 

• 3–5+ years in a senior/lead role with experience mentoring or managing designers, strongly preferred. 

• A portfolio demonstrating strong visual and interaction design, component thinking, and scalable system work.  

• Deep knowledge of Figma – including component architecture, variables, tokens, and shared libraries. 

• Experience working closely with engineering and an understanding of component architecture, design tokens, Storybook (or similar), and how design maps to code.  

• Familiarity with documentation and collaboration tools such as Zeroheight, Jira, Confluence, and GitHub to support clear communication and system alignment.  

• Working knowledge of accessibility best practices and WCAG guidelines, ensuring components and patterns support inclusive experiences.  

• Familiarity with content design principles and the ability to apply clear, concise language within components, patterns, and documentation.  

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence partners and executives.  

• A mindset for continuous improvement, curiosity, and finding smarter ways to scale design quality.
