• Advocate for design maturity:
  Present new component logic, advise on native and custom patterns to stakeholders, socialize updates, and mentor designers on system best practices.
• Stay ahead of trends:
  Continuously research emerging tools (e.g., AI‑assisted design, variable fonts, advanced prototyping, MCP servers) to keep the system future‑ready.

• Bachelor’s in Design, HCI, or equivalent experience.
• 5 years minimum in digital product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing design system principles across responsive web and native apps.
• Expertise in Figma:
