Sentry is looking for a Senior Product Designer to help own and evolve our design system the shared components patterns and guidelines that keep our product consistent accessible and efficient to build.

Youll work at the intersection of design and engineering partnering closely with our product design and front-end engineers to design spec and refine the components of our design system Scraps. This means thinking carefully about how a select menu behaves across dozens of contexts how a form system should be structured for flexibility and consistency or how to consolidate five slightly different button patterns into one that actually works everywhere.

This isnt a typical product design role. You wont be designing features end-to-end youll be designing the building blocks that make feature work better. Youll audit existing patterns identify inconsistencies define when and how components should be used and create documentation and Figma libraries that help designers and engineers move faster with confidence.

• Own the component libraries variables and styles that define Sentrys design language keeping them accurate well-documented and in sync with whats built in code

• Partner directly with design engineers to spec new components refine existing ones and ensure design intent translates cleanly into implementation

• Audit the product for pattern inconsistencies and drive consolidation defining clear guidance for when to use what

• Create and maintain documentation usage guidelines and Storybook stories that help designers and engineers use the system correctly

• Build shared tools like lint rules templates and contribution workflows that scale consistency without slowing teams down

• Advocate for the design system across product teams fielding questions reviewing component usage and coaching designers on best practices

• Get more satisfaction from making fifty designers and engineers faster than from shipping one feature yourself

• Nerd out over component APIs variant structures and tokenization and naming conventions in Figma

• Love working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers and understand the constraints and possibilities of React CSS and the DOM

• Care deeply about consistency but know when a pattern needs to flex for a specific use case

• Find it rewarding to turn a messy audit into a clean opinionated set of guidelines

• Believe in open source and the idea that good design infrastructure is a public good

• 5 years designing complex software products with meaningful experience in a design systems team at a comparable scale

• Deep fluency with Figmas design systems tooling components variants variables auto layout shared libraries and branching workflows

• Strong visual and interaction design skills with a sharp eye for spacing hierarchy and micro-interactions

• Experience collaborating closely with frontend engineers on component implementation you can speak to props states and edge cases

• Comfortable creating and maintaining design documentation usage guidelines and contribution processes

• Able to balance long-term system thinking with the practical needs of product teams shipping on tight timelines

• Bonus: hands-on experience with HTML/CSS React or Storybook; contributions to open-source design systems
