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 with various teams to modernize and scale the customer experience while ensuring high standards of craft and usability.

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
