Senior / Principal Product Designer

Svitla Systems, Inc. is seeking a Senior or Principal Product Designer for a short-term, part-time remote engagement in the USA. The role will evolve and apply Design Language System foundations for Hybrid product experiences, collaborating with Design, Product, and Engineering to create reusable, accessible, responsive, and production-aligned components and workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Review existing Design Language System work, components, patterns, and relevant product experiences
• Partner with Design and Engineering to understand the Hybrid roadmap and technical approach
• Assess and prioritize components and experience patterns required for near-term Hybrid delivery
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, accessibility concerns, and opportunities for reuse
• Evolve the DLS architecture needed to support Hybrid experiences
• Design and document reusable components and interaction patterns
• Define responsive and cross-platform behaviors and standards
• Establish accessibility and experience standards within components and patterns
• Rationalize existing patterns where practical rather than introducing unnecessary variants
• Partner directly with Engineering as components and patterns move into production
• Align design components with their coded counterparts and resolve design-system issues identified during implementation
• Establish a practical design-to-development workflow that supports ongoing Hybrid delivery
• Apply the emerging DLS to priority Hybrid product work
• Use real-world implementation to validate and refine components, patterns, and standards
• Document design decisions and reusable solutions as the system evolves
• Transfer knowledge and working practices to internal Design and Engineering teams throughout the engagement

Requirements:

• Senior or Principal-level experience in product design
• Deep experience building and scaling design systems connected to production component libraries
• Strong experience working directly with front-end engineers and understanding how design components are implemented in code
• Experience designing responsive and cross-platform experiences
• Experience creating reusable interaction patterns, in addition to visual components
• Experience working within an existing design system and team rather than building everything from scratch
• Strong understanding of accessibility and its application to product experiences and design systems
• Ability to operate independently at a senior or principal level
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across Design, Product, and Engineering
