Participate in design critiques and continuously refine and iterate on the library, ensuring it meets evolving product needs.The Product Designer will take inspiration from and evolve our current product design to create designs for a comprehensive and reusable component library. The designer should bring strong and prescriptive opinions about UX design as this work will guide the future of internal and external projects.

4+ years of professional experience in product design or UI design with a focus on scalable, component-based systems
A strong portfolio demonstrating the design of cohesive UI systems, pattern libraries, or frameworks (visual examples of component libraries are a plus)
