Product Design Systems Designer – Remote

About the role

Blacksmith Agency builds websites and marketing programs for clients across the US.

Precision is the job.

Key responsibilities

• Build token architecture in Figma using variables, modes, and semantic naming that our 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.

Required profile

• 4+ years designing for the web with real design system work in your portfolio.
• Fluency in Figma variables, component properties, auto layout, and variants.
• A portfolio showing distinct client work while maintaining the same underlying rigor.
• Strong English and ability to overlap with US business hours.
