Senior Product Designer (Design Systems)

About the role

We are looking for a Design Systems Owner (Idea-to-Code) to shape and mature the DS that underpins RightShip's platform - and to reinvent how that system moves from idea to working code. A great system is the hygiene base of this role: components, tokens, colour, typography, patterns, nesting, responsiveness - the tools our product designers rely on daily. But your work on those won't stop in Figma. The real mandate is the idea-to-code workstream: getting the system into the codebase, so AI can use it to generate prototypes during Discovery, and so that design delivers working Angular front-end to engineering rather than specs and handover. You own the DS and what good UX looks like; you partner with our head of front-end engineering, crafting the right solution together. Together you blur the line between design and engineering - A design problem is an engineering problem, and vice versa. This is a senior individual contributor role with impact to all squads. There's no off-theshelf answer to what we're doing, so this role is part R&D for design and process - finding out what works, then refining and iterating constantly. If that ambiguity excites you, this is your role. In short: we need a "systemic tinkerer" with strong design craft, comfortable in code, energised by making the whole team faster - from Discovery with PMs and customers, to front-end creation with engineering.

Responsibilities

• The design system (the foundation)
• Define and evolve the system across tokens, components, patterns, nesting, responsiveness, and interaction standards in collaboration with our product designers in Singapore and London
• Design scalable components for data-dense, workflow-heavy applications - fit for everything our designers build, from data display, lists and inputs to conversational, AI-driven, and human-in-the-loop interfaces
• Audit our products to surface real use cases and patterns, and turn them into reusable definitions
• Idea-to-code (the differentiator)
• Partner with engineering to bring the system into code (Angular), keeping Figma and code in tight parity - contributing and co-crafting, not handing over
• Make components easy to generate, nest, and reuse for both rapid prototyping and production
• Establish the system so AI can consume it to prototype during Discovery, moving design's output toward working front-end and shrinking the gap between intent
• and implementation
• Productivity, AI & ways of working
• Treat the workflow itself as a product: measure it, iterate on it, make us measurably faster
• Continuously screen and trial new AI tools - the capabilitie
