Perk - Senior Design Systems Designer

• Strong product design experience, including time spent designing and scaling design systems for a fast-growing product on web and mobile. • A deep grasp of typography, colour, layout, motion, and micro-interactions. • Judgement on when the system needs a new component and when an existing one should be used. • Experience designing and maintaining token systems, including naming, theming, documentation, and Figma-to-code workflows, and working knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. • Practical experience designing components for WCAG 2.2 AA standards, including keyboard and screen-reader behaviour. • Experience prototyping with AI tools and with Storybook, Code Connect and MCP tooling, and an understanding of how they connect design systems to code and AI tools. • The ability to take non-designers from the problem to the decision to the outcome and build adoption by persuasion. • A clear opinion of what good looks like, and the ability to make trade-off decisions and defend them. • Experience using customer insight from research, support and sales as well as team data, and taking ownership of business outcomes. • A clear voice in shaping roadmap, sequencing and scope, and the ability to push back, including when the system is being bypassed, without damaging the relationship. • Experience integrating or consolidating design systems. • Familiarity with content and localisation considerations in components. • AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes. • At Perk, we take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work. • For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume.
