Senior Product Design Engineer
VirtuousGrowing global generosity by helping nonprofits better connect with and inspire their supporters.
• The design system. You own it end to end: tokens, primitives, components, patterns, and documentation, in code and not just in Figma. You own how it gets distributed and consumed, and the process for updating and maintaining. • The operating model. You decide how a team ships a pattern the system does not have yet without fragmenting everything, and how that pattern gets promoted into the core once it proves out. Stable primitives that move carefully, product patterns that move quickly, and a real path between them. • Adoption. You treat engineers as your users. The system wins when building on it is faster than building around it, so you instrument coverage, watch for drift, and drive system adoption. • Production interface work. You are in the codebase every week building real surface work, not adjacent to it. What you learn shipping is what makes the system good, and it is how you feel the lag before anyone has to report it. • The AI guardrail. You make the system the thing that keeps generated interfaces on brand. When an engineer or an agent builds a screen, the system should make the right thing the easy thing. That means the system has to be legible to a model, not just to a person. • Accessibility and the craft bar. You build accessibility into the system so what we ship is also accessible. • The bridge from design to production. You work with product designers to turn validated patterns into system defaults, and you close the gap between what was designed and what actually shipped. • Documentation and enablement. You make the system obvious. Nobody adopts what they have to reverse engineer. • Metrics. You influence the numbers that prove the system works: component coverage across surfaces, adoption, efficiency, and throughput.
