Design System Designer

About the Position

Mayflower is a technology company that is revolutionizing the entertainment industry by providing high-quality live streaming experiences. We believe that by enhancing live entertainment, we can better address global challenges together.

We are seeking a Design System Designer to contribute to the evolution of our design system across product and engineering teams. This role combines systems thinking with hands-on design of design system components, working closely with product designers and frontend engineers to ensure consistency and quality.

Join our team and help shape the future of live entertainment!

Responsibilities

• Work on evolving and maintaining our existing UI foundation in Figma, Storybook, and code.
• Design and refine core UI components (inputs, buttons, form elements, patterns) as part of the design system.
• Refine and extend a scalable token architecture (primitive → semantic → component) with support for theming.
• Improve alignment between Figma, frontend implementation, and Storybook to ensure consistency across the product.
• Contribute to and improve the design-to-code workflow using Figma Variables, Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Support migration of components toward a token-based structure, starting with the most impactful areas.
• Help shape and maintain contribution guidelines and system standards for design and engineering teams.
• Contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing to make the system easy to understand and use.
• Explore and support AI-assisted workflows, including structured and machine-readable design system practices.

Requirements

You’ll thrive here if you have

• 4+ years of experience in design systems, design engineering, or related roles.
• Strong Figma expertise (Variables, Auto Layout, Component Properties, shared libraries).
• Good understanding of frontend development (CSS custom properties, SCSS, basic JavaScript) and ability to collaborate effectively with engineers.
• Hands-on experience with Storybook (writing stories, documenting states and variants).
• Familiarity with token tooling such as Style Dictionary, Tokens Studio, or equivalent.
• Strong systems thinking - able to see patterns, dependencies, and long-term implications across design and code.
• Practical mindset focused on building solutions that teams can realistically adopt and maintain.

Who you are

• Think in systems, patterns, and trade-offs rather than isolated UI tasks.
• Comfortable making decisions about when to introduce new components versus extending existing ones.
• Value pragmatic solutions that improve long-term maintainability over short-term visual fixes.
• Work naturally in cross-functional environments with both designers and engineers.
• Care about clarity, consistency, and usability of design systems as a shared foundation.

We Offer

• Full remote work.
• Competitive compensation with a service contract.
• Transparent performance reviews twice a year, with bonus opportunities and salary adjustments.
• An annual allowance for home office improvements, sports activities, equipment upgrades, and more-tailor it to what benefits you most.
• Investment in your development: paid language courses, access to various learning platforms, and a mindfulness benefit, including psychological support with 50% coverage.
• Career growth in a fast-scaling project with opportunities to influence technical decisions.
• A culture of recognition: our peer reward program celebrates contributions from across the team.
