About the Role
We’re seeking a Design Systems Designer with a Native Mobile Design Ops focus to join a growing team of designers and developers supporting a large-scale, enterprise mobile app ecosystem.

-
Develop and maintain Figma components, patterns, and libraries that align with mobile platform standards and design tokens.
-
Partner closely with engineers to ensure accurate component implementation, maintaining fidelity between design and development.
-
Define and enforce governance models, workflows, and version control processes to ensure consistency, scalability, and quality.
-
Contribute to design operations initiatives, optimizing team efficiency and ensuring seamless collaboration across design, engineering, and product.
-
Document system usage, component behavior, and platform differences in Confluence or equivalent tools.
-
Support cross-platform parity efforts while respecting native platform guidelines and release cadences.
Required Skills & Experience
-
Native mobile expertise: Deep understanding of both iOS and Android design paradigms, technical constraints, and app release processes.
-
Design Systems experience: Proven success designing, scaling, and governing complex, enterprise-level native app design systems.
-
Design Ops proficiency: Experience establishing design workflows, versioning strategies, and governance practices for large distributed teams.
-
Tools mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Figma, Jira, and Confluence — particularly within a native app release environment.
-
Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams including product managers, developers, and QA engineers.
-
Exceptional documentation, communication, and organization skills.
Nice to Have
-
Experience with design tokens, component libraries, and mobile accessibility standards.
-
Familiarity with motion design principles and prototyping for native interactions.
-
Prior experience in a large-scale DesignOps or system governance role.
