You'll join at a pivotal moment where we're raising the bar on quality, speed, and innovation.

RESPONSIBILITIES Own the Design System: Lead the strategy, architecture, and evolution of our design system. You'll define component libraries, design tokens, interaction patterns, and documentation that enable teams to build cohesive, high-quality experiences at scale. Build Production-Ready Components: Go beyond static designs to create functional, accessible components. You'll work closely with engineering to ensure design system assets translate seamlessly into code, maintaining fidelity from Figma to production. Establish Patterns and Guidelines: Define and document UX patterns, accessibility standards, and best practices that guide how teams design and build across the platform. You'll create resources that empower designers and developers to work faster without sacrificing quality. Drive Adoption and Enablement: Champion the design system across the organization. You'll partner with product teams to ensure adoption, gather feedback, and continuously improve the system based on real-world usage. Design for Emerging Capabilities: As we integrate AI and agentic features into Zeta Developer Platform, you'll help define patterns for new interaction models—ensuring these capabilities feel native to the system rather than bolted on. Lead with Vision and Accountability: Drive design system strategy with clear ownership and decision-making authority. You'll operate with high autonomy, identifying opportunities for improvement, and taking full accountability for the system's success.
