Staff Product Designer, Design Systems (Remote)

Weedmaps is a global leader in the cannabis industry, dedicated to transparency, education, and community. They are seeking a Staff Product Designer to lead the evolution of their design system, collaborating across teams to modernize the customer experience and ensure high standards of usability and craft.

Responsibilities:

• Define and evolve the multi-platform system (web + mobile) with clear architecture, governance, and scalability principles
• Own the roadmap and prioritization based on product needs, adoption gaps, and system performance
• Partner with Design and Creative leadership to ensure high craft, modern interaction patterns, and resilience to ongoing brand evolution
• Design and implement core system components, defining intuitive, flexible, and scalable APIs, variants, and composition patterns
• Ensure high standards for visual precision, fidelity, accessibility (React Aria), and interaction quality, motion, and state management
• Continuously refine components based on product usage and edge cases
• Implement automated quality systems, including visual regression testing, and continuously audit the system for usability and craft excellence. Act as a cross-functional steward of system quality
• Lead migration of legacy UI and ensure critical product surfaces (e.g., CTAs, checkout flows) are powered by the system, actively increasing adoption across the ecosystem
• Establish a best-in-class tool-to-code pipeline (Figma, Claude, Builder, etc.) to map design artifacts to production components and prevent drift
• Partner with Engineering on architectural decisions (CI/CD, token systems, distribution infrastructure) and support enforcement mechanisms (linting, token constraints) to maintain system integrity
• Introduce and standardize AI-assisted workflows, in partnership with Engineering , to structuring components for AI-friendly generation and integrating tools (Builder.io, Claude, etc.) to improve consistency
• Mentor designers and engineers and create documentation that allows teams to move quickly within a well-governed system
• Identify strategic innovation opportunities, prototype new interaction models/motion systems, and codify successful innovations into the design system

Requirements:

• 7+ years in front-end, design, or creative engineering, with strong mobile focus (iOS/Android)
• Proven track record building and scaling design systems and component libraries across multiple teams/products
• Knowledge of React (Web) and React Native, and modern front-end architecture
• Deep understanding of design craft (typography, motion, interaction, visual systems)
• Experience driving adoption of shared systems and implementing design-to-code pipelines (tokens, Figma integration)
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and workflows
• Strong systems thinking and ability to align Design, Engineering, and Creative stakeholders
• Experience working on marketplace, e-commerce, or consumer platforms
• Familiarity with Storybook, visual regression tools, and token management systems
• Experience translating brand systems into scalable product UI
• Exposure to AI-native development environments and workflows
• Passion for building systems that balance craft, scalability, and speed
