Design System Designer

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Design System team, working across our Real Estate products

You’ll play a key role in evolving our design system, helping designers and engineers across the business design and build with greater consistency, quality and pace

You’ll work day to day within a small, dedicated pod, spanning web and app

But the system serves designers across multiple tribes, each shipping their own product work

You’ll work within our contribution model, helping teams outside the pod propose, adopt and evolve components without fragmenting the system

We’re looking for someone with strong craft, attention to detail, and curiosity about systems thinking and AI-assisted workflows

You’ll help create a coherent product experience across our brands while developing your own design systems practice

• Design and evolve reusable components, patterns and foundations within our design system, reducing duplication and improving consistency across tribes
• Define component behaviour, states and variants, working directly with engineering to ship them
• Run and improve the contribution model: the process and standards that let designers outside the core pod propose and ship components without breaking system coherence
• Support design work from problem framing through to documentation and handover, using research and feedback from teams to inform decisions
• Create clear documentation and specifications covering variants, edge cases and usage guidance
• Collaborate closely with engineers on token strategy and the practical link between [REDACTED] and production code
• Resolve conflicts between a tribe’s local need and the system’s long-term coherence
• Work with product design teams to identify gaps and embed stronger systems thinking across products

AI-enabled Design Systems:

• Use AI-assisted tooling as part of your daily workflow, from research through to prototyping and component definition
• Contribute to making the system well-structured for AI-assisted workflows, including tokens, documentation and reusable patterns
• Know when to override AI output with your own design judgment, and be able to explain why

Benefits

• Range of development programs and resources designed to help you thrive in a way that suits you
• Unlimited therapy and coaching sessions through our [REDACTED] partnership
• ‘Speak Up’ (87% of our employees say they feel able to speak openly and not shy away from difficult conversations)
• Quarterly engagement surveys
• Hybrid working set-up (differs for each role)
