Staff / Principal Product Designer, Design Systems

Rho
New York, NY
Job Description
Role Overview

We're looking for a Staff or Principal Product Designer to own our design system, the governed, in code foundation that everything we ship stands on. This role is not about maintaining a Figma library and filing tickets, but defining the frontend layer of a financial operating system that companies trust with their money.

What You Will Do

You'll partner with our frontend guild, engineers, and the design team as equals, deciding what a component is, how it behaves, how it moves, what it enables, and where it must not bend. You'll set the craft bar for the entire org and build the system that makes hitting that bar the path of least resistance.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You've been doing this for a while, with at least 7 years of product design experience, and have real design systems ownership at scale. You believe in designing in code, have genuine taste, and own your craft, not inheriting it.

Requirements

  • 7 years of product design experience
  • Real design systems ownership at scale
  • Designs in code or is hungry to
  • Genuine taste and a serious bar for design
  • Owns your craft, doesn't inherit it
  • Builds systems, not screens
  • Ships, then sharpens
  • Has low ego and high standards at the same time
  • Gets the domain, or is dying to

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • Equity in the company
  • Opportunity to work on a complex, systems-level project
  • Collaborative and dynamic work environment
  • Opportunity to work with a talented team of engineers and designers
