Responsibilities
Own a scalable component library and design token framework, keeping Figma and code in sync and driving adoption across product teams
Reduce design-engineering drift by auditing and refactoring the current system, setting UI standards with eng and design leads, and enabling teams to ship consistently
Improve readability and accessibility on constrained hardware by optimizing type, density, focus states, targets, and contrast; define a field‑representative viewport and device matrix with acceptance criteria
Evolve ODS for windowless, low‑luminance environments by proposing a contrast‑safe theme and a semantic token architecture that supports light and low‑luminance/dark modes
Partner with the design org: maintain visibility into in‑flight work, answer ODS questions, and proactively turn emerging patterns into documented components and tokens; run lightweight intake, office hours, and a transparent backlog
Document and educate: keep usage guidelines current, host workshops, and communicate changes and deprecations clearly
Strengthen quality: expand Storybook coverage, add visual regression across themes and constrained viewports, and bake contrast/readability checks into CI
Lead the modernization roadmap, evaluating tools and workflows that advance Onebrief's product vision
Qualification
Required
Deep experience designing and scaling design systems in fast-paced, cross-functional environments
Fluency in Figma (including tokens, libraries, and advanced workflows), Storybook, and modern frontend frameworks
Ability to thrive in ambiguous environments, proactively drive clarity and adoption, and a passion for accessibility and inclusive design
Demonstrated experience shipping themeable, token‑driven UI systems across light and dark or low‑luminance themes, including semantic token design and migration strategies
Expertise in accessibility for low‑vision users on small and legacy screens: contrast, legibility, type scale, spacing, focus and hover states, and input target sizing per WCAG 2.2
Practical experience profiling real‑world hardware constraints and calibrating designs for dim, windowless environments; ability to translate findings into tokens, component specs, and guidelines
Hands‑on with Figma Tokens or equivalent, CSS variables, Style Dictionary or similar pipelines, and Storybook visual regression across themes and breakpoints
Strong collaboration with engineering to implement theme switching and runtime theming, including prefers‑color‑scheme and environment‑specific presets
Proven ability to partner with product and design peers, anticipate pattern needs from in‑flight work, and translate them into reusable, well‑documented ODS components and tokens
Clear, empathetic communication and 'community management' of the system: office hours, async support, change logs, and deprecation guidance
Preferred
Experience with military, government, or highly regulated domains
