Producing clear documentation, design decisions and artefacts that support iterative releases.
Enhancing the platform’s visual consistency, readability and long‑form content experience across responsive breakpoints.
What you’ll bring

A proven ability to deliver accessible, system‑based UI at scale in close collaboration with engineering teams.
Expert‑level Figma skills, especially for design‑to‑delivery workflows.
Strong experience with design systems, component alignment and cross‑product collaboration.
Exceptional typography craft, particularly for long‑form reading environments.
How success will be measured
Timely delivery of pages and components migrated into the design system.
