Design Systems Designer

True Sparrow · Bangalore, India

Contract for 4 months · Remote · Work Timings: 12:30 pm to 9:30 pm IST.

We're looking for a talented, systems-obsessed Design Systems Designer to work on a complex, multi-product design system for one of our key clients. You'll be embedded in a collaborative global team of designers and developers, owning a unified design language that spans multiple products and platforms.

This is a high-impact, client-facing role.

⚡ What You'll Do

• Work with the team to shape a multi-product design system in Figma: component library, style guide, the whole lot
• Design a robust token architecture: global → semantic → component tokens, multi-theme, light/dark modes
• Build complex, production-ready components with well-structured variants, interactive states, and responsive behaviour
• Use Figma Variables and advanced Auto Layout to create flexible, scalable components
• Collaborate daily with a cross-functional global team of designers & developers to keep design–dev handoff smooth and sane
• Run audits, spot inconsistencies, and fix things before anyone else notices they're broken
• Champion the system: become the go-to person for \"how should this component work?\"

What We're Looking For

✅ Required: You should have built a design system, not just used it.

• 3+ years in product design with some focus on building design systems
• Expert-level Figma proficiency: Variables, Variants, Component Properties, Branching, Merging, Auto Layout, all of it
• Deep understanding of design token architecture: naming conventions, tiered tokens (global → semantic → component), multi-brand theming
• Proven experience building complex, multi-state component libraries
• Strong communicator: able to explain design decisions clearly to both designers and engineers

★ Nice to Have

• Token Studio experience. This one's a big plus
• Experience with building design systems spanning 3+ products or brands

Why Join True Sparrow

• Design challenges that span multiple products, platforms, and brands.
• You'll work alongside designers and developers who respect craft and geek out over systems
• Remote-first culture
• Meaningful impact: your system will be the foundation for products used by thousands of people
