## Summary

This role bridges design and engineering to build and evolve Waypoint, Cohere's design system, keeping Figma libraries and production components in sync while preparing the system to serve AI models as a third audience. You'll own both sides of the system—from component structure in Figma to shipping code to npm—rather than specializing in one discipline.

## Skills named

Figma, npm, Tailwind CSS

## Required

- Fluency in both Figma and production code
- Ownership of Figma library structure, variants, and documentation
- Building and maintaining core Waypoint components
- Managing token synchronization between Figma and code representations
- Partnering with designers and engineers to translate patterns into system components
- Creating documentation and guidance for system adoption
- Participating in system architecture decisions

## Nice to have

- Experience with design-to-code sync tooling (Figma plugins, token pipelines, MCP workflows)
- Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and component implementation
- Experience packaging and versioning component libraries for multiple teams
- Multi-platform design systems work (iOS/SwiftUI, Android/Jetpack Compose, Style Dictionary)
- Background in AI-native products or interest in AI's impact on design systems
