What You’ll Do 

• Lead product design engagements from discovery to delivery, creating intuitive, elegant, and scalable experiences. 

• Build and evolve design systems for both internal and client products establishing visual language, interaction patterns, and component libraries using modern Figma best practices (Auto Layout, Component Properties, Variables, Tokens). 

• Integrate AI tools into your design workflow to accelerate ideation, enhance prototyping, and future-proof the product experiences we create. 

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (engagement managers, engineers, , and stakeholders) to define problems, validate solutions, and deliver high-impact work. 

• Mentor designers and contribute to the evolution of our design practice, advocating for quality, consistency, and innovation. 

• Bring a strategic lens to design balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints. 

• Represent DeveloperTown at public events including conferences, panels, and webinars by speaking on topics related to product design, design systems, and the future of digital experiences. 

• Confidently represent DeveloperTown’s design practice in key sales meetings, contributing strategic insight and design expertise. 

What We’re Looking For 

• 8+ years of experience in product design, including at least 2+ years in a senior or principal-level role. 

• A strong portfolio showcasing systems thinking, elegant UI/UX solutions, and real-world product impact. 

• Deep expertise in Figma, including mastery of Auto Layout, Component Properties, Variables, and Tokens. 

• Experience building and maintaining scalable design systems across multiple products or platforms. 

• Comfortable using AI design tools like CoPilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Relume, Github, UIZard or custom GPT’s in your daily workflow. 

• A user-centered mindset with the ability to translate complex problems into intuitive experiences. 

• Exceptional communication and storytelling abilities. You confidently articulate design decisions and the rationale behind them to diverse audiences. 

• Experience working in consulting, agency, or fast-paced product environments is a strong plus. 

Bonus Points 

• Experience designing for regulated industries like healthcare or fintech. 

• Familiarity with front-end frameworks or handoff-friendly tools like Storybook. 

• Thought leadership, speaking, writing, or mentoring in the design community. 

Why You’ll Love It Here 

• A collaborative and transparent culture where design has a seat at the table. 

• Opportunities to shape the future of our design practice—and the products we help build. 

• A team that embraces innovation, experimentation, and the power of good design. 

• Flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to work on meaningful projects across industries.
