About The Role
The company’s design system underpins every product experience across the super app, including rides, food, groceries, payments and beyond. We’re looking for a Design System Lead to own its evolution through its next chapter: one where the system serves not only designers and engineers, but AI agents that consume, generate and assemble design. This is a hands-on senior IC role for someone who is both a rigorous systems designer and a capable AI tool-builder. You’ll govern the token architecture, component library, and documentation that keep a multi-vertical platform coherent, and you’ll use AI to make the system faster to maintain, easier to adopt, and smarter to build with.

What You’ll Do
- Own the lifecycle of Design System’s tokens, components, and patterns: from inception through shipping, iteration, and deprecation.
- Define and enforce standards for color, type, spacing, and interaction across platforms (iOS, Android, web) and locales, including RTL/Arabic.
- Champion accessibility (WCAG) as a system-level guarantee and manage the backlog with product and engineering partners.
- Structure tokens and components so agentic design-to-code and prompt-to-design workflows produce on-system output.
- Build and maintain Code Connect mappings, MCP integrations, and structured component metadata.
- Articulate the system’s value in efficiency and quality to stakeholders ranging from ICs to executives.
What You'll Need
- 5+ years experience in product design, with at least 3 years dedicated to design systems at scale (ideally, multi-brand or super-app environments).
- Advanced knowledge of variables, token architecture, component APIs, library management, and branching.
- Demonstrated experience building real workflows with LLMs and agentic tools (e.g., Figma Plugin API, MCP-based integrations, or prompt design).
- Excellent English writing and presentation skills.
Bonus Points
- Experience with RTL/Arabic-first products or the Middle East market.
- Experience with production design-to-code pipelines (Code Connect, token transformation).
