Through our subsidiaries, Moniepoint Inc. processes over $250 billion in digital payment transaction value annually. **About This Role** We are looking for a Senior Product Designer (Design System) who thinks at a system level and understands how to create a scalable UI ecosystem that spans multiple products, teams, and platforms. You are not just designing static screens; you are building the foundation of our product user interfaces. In this role, you will take full ownership of our component libraries, interaction models, and cross-platform design consistency. You will act as the bridge between design and engineering, ensuring that our visual assets translate seamlessly into clean, reusable, and accessible production code. **Responsibilities** - UI Craft & Visual Excellence: Maintain an exceptionally high standard for layout, typography, colour, spacing, visual hierarchy, and overall digital finish across all reusable elements. - Component Architecture: Design, build, and maintain robust component libraries (buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, forms, tables, etc.) that scale seamlessly across products. - Interaction & Motion Design: Define interactive behaviors and state transitions (e.g., hover, focus, disabled, loading, and mobile behaviors) to ensure components feel alive and intuitive. - Design Token Management: Structure and maintain design tokens (colours, spacing, typography, border-radius, shadows) to drive consistency between design environments and code. - Figma Library Architecture: Organize complex variants, properties, and components within Figma to empower other product designers to build quickly and accurately. - Engineering Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering teams to navigate technical constraints across Web, React, Flutter, Android, and iOS/Native app environments. - Documentation & Governance: Create clear, comprehensive usage guidelines and documentation outlining when, why, and how components should (and should not) be used. **Experience & Background** - Proven Design System Track Record: Extensive experience building, scaling, and maintaining production-ready design systems rather than just standalone product features. - Cross-Platform Expertise: Deep understanding of the constraints and guidelines governing multiple platforms, including Web, iOS, and Android. - Systems-Thinking Mindset: A portfolio demonstrating how individual design decisions impact multiple products, scale sustainably, and optimize designer/engineer workflows. - Front-End Alignment: Strong familiarity with how developers inspect, build, and consume components in code repositories. **Skills & Competencies** - Expert Figma Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of Figma libraries, auto-layout, components, variants, variables, and library publication. - Accessibility Champion: Solid grasp of accessibility standards (WCAG), contrast requirements, and inclusive design principles. - Technical Literacy: Familiarity with component-driven frameworks (React, Flutter) and Atomic Design methodology. - Communication & Documentation: Excellent writing and presentation skills, with an ability to translate complex design system choices into clear executive-level updates and technical guidelines. **What Success Looks Like in This Role** - High Adoption & Efficiency: Design and engineering teams actively use the system, resulting in significantly accelerated product shipping cycles. - Flawless Cross-Platform Consistency: A unified look, feel, and interactive behavior across all customer-facing touchpoints (Web, Android, iOS). - Best-in-Class Documentation: A central, living source of truth that leaves no ambiguity regarding design tokens, component rules, or brand compliance. - Scalable Architecture: A foundational library that handles future product expansions, rebrands, or theme changes with minimal friction. **Why Join Us** - Competitive compensation, benefits, and career growth opportunities. - Fully remote work culture and support for professional development. **How to apply:** Submit your resume and portfolio showcasing your best work - preferably with fintech or SaaS-related projects. Your portfolio should clearly demonstrate impact, including measurable improvements in user experience, business metrics, or engagement. We want to see end-to-end product thinking, including research, wireframes, prototypes, and final execution.
