We enjoyed reading about your work, but we have chosen to continue with candidates whose experience is closer to our current needs.

About the job

Ironbridge Data makes dashboards for operations teams. We are growing our design team and looking for a Design Systems Designer.

About the role

You will own the design system end to end: components, tokens, documentation and the way other teams contribute to it. This is a hybrid role: two or three days a week in Birmingham.

What you will do

  • Design and maintain the component library in Figma, in step with the coded components
  • Define design tokens for colour, type, spacing and motion across web and mobile
  • Write clear usage guidance and examples, and run office hours for product designers
  • Review contributions and keep the system accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA)

About you

  • Several years of product design, with real ownership of a design system
  • Strong Figma skills: variables, variants, auto layout, component properties
  • You can talk to engineers about how components are built and versioned
  • A good eye for detail and patience for the unglamorous work of consistency

What we offer

  • A salary of £64k to £74k, depending on experience
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Private health cover
  • A home-office budget
