Were looking for a talented hands-on design systems designer who is passionate about building the infrastructure great products are made of and wants to change the way people learn languages. You will design and build Camblys design system as a project: a structured variable-based token architecture (color spacing type and more) and a documented component library that builds on top of it with structural support for theming. Youll modernize our existing design system into one that includes clear rules for when and how to use each component and write specs and documentation precise enough that our designers our engineers and our AI coding agents can all implement correctly with minimal ambiguity.
