healf - Design Systems Designer (Contract)
Requirements
• Experience building a design system for a mobile app specifically. • Exporting tokens to code (Style Dictionary, Tailwind, Token Studio), and some awareness of Code Connect. • Storybook familiarity — a bonus, since the app developer owns the code side. • We ask a great deal of the people who work here. We expect full ownership and a genuine commitment to give this chapter everything you have. • In return, we will give you the same: everything we have, invested in your growth, your wellbeing, and the defining skills of the next decade. • We have built the fastest-growing company in Europe with a team small enough that every person in it shapes the outcome. That is still true today. The next person we hire will change the trajectory of the company. • IF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF YOUR CAREER IS AHEAD OF YOU, THIS IS THE PLACE TO DO IT.
Responsibilities
• Go through the existing app screens and pull out the patterns worth keeping. • Build the system in Figma from scratch: tokens, components, patterns. • Cover the full set of states — default, hover, focus, active, disabled, error, empty, loading. • Work with our designers and developers to align the system with what's already in production: naming conventions, structure, tokens. • Write the documentation: when to use each component and when not to, do's and don'ts, specs, and accessibility notes — contrast, focus, scaling — documented per component. • Leave behind a maintenance and contribution guide so the system keeps working after you're gone, and onboard the current design team to it. • WHAT YOU'LL DELIVER • A published, componentised Figma library with a documented set of tokens. • Component documentation that designers and the app developer can actually work from. • A short handover guide, plus a walkthrough for the team. • Real design-systems experience — a shipped system, built within a working team, in your portfolio. Not just screens. • Strong Figma craft: variables and tokens, components with variants and properties, auto-layout, published libraries, Dev Mode. • A good visual eye. We need systems thinking and taste — one without the other won't cut it, and the bar is a premium consumer health product, not an internal tool. • Solid documentation habits. • Comfortable working AI-assisted.
Benefits
• We're in the middle of building Wellbeing Intelligence, our native app, and the design team has started componentising as they go. That's the right instinct, but it's happening alongside shipping — which means the system is growing unevenly, and nobody owns it end to end. • That's this role. Come in, take the patterns that already exist across the app, and build them into a system that's rigorous enough for engineers to build on and flexible enough for designers to move fast with. You'll work alongside a colleague in Applied AI who'll automate the parts of the process that don't need a human, so your time goes into the judgement calls: what's a real pattern versus a one-off, what the system should enforce versus leave open, and what "on-brand for a premium health product" actually looks like at the component level. • It's a short, high-leverage engagement. You're not here to babysit the system — you're here to build it properly once, document it so it survives contact with a growing team, and hand it over clean. • Short-term contract, 1-3 months. Starts at 1 month, with an option to extend if there's more work to do. • Hours: full-time • Remote, flexible
