Blacksmith Agency builds websites and marketing programs for US clients and is hiring a Design Systems Designer to own how client design systems get built. You take a brand and a few reference sites, then extract the pattern into a working system: tokens, variables, modes and core components a build pipeline can execute without asking questions. A senior, systems-first seat standing up new systems across several client brands at once, remote from Latin America.
What you\'ll do
- Build token architecture in Figma using variables, modes and semantic naming the build pipeline can read predictably
- Ship core component libraries that hold up across an entire site, not just a homepage
- Document the system so a developer or an automated pipeline can execute it without questions
- Work across several client brands at once, each looking distinctly different, with the same structural rigor
What they\'re looking for
- 4+ years designing for the web, with real design system work in the portfolio
- Fluency in Figma variables, component properties, auto layout and variants: actual architecture, not just tidy files
- A portfolio where the work looks different from client to client but the rigor underneath is the same
- Strong English and overlap with US business hours
