Senior Product Designer (Design Systems)

📍 Job Overview

Job Title: Senior Product Designer (Design Systems)

Company: Torq

Location: Tel Aviv-Yafo, Tel Aviv District, Israel

Job Type: Full-Time

Category: Product Design / Design Systems

Date Posted: May 25, 2026

Experience Level: Senior (5-10 years)

Remote Status: On-site

🚀 Role Summary

• Own and evolve Torq's comprehensive design system, ensuring product-wide visual and interactive consistency.

• Architect and maintain a Figma component library and design tokens, synchronizing them with the production codebase.

• Develop and document the design system for AI coding agent consumption, enabling accurate UI generation and reducing rework.

• Drive best practices in accessibility (WCAG) and ensure components meet rigorous standards.

• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and other stakeholders to champion design system adoption and evolution.

📝 Enhancement Note: While the core function is Product Design with a Design Systems focus, the unique emphasis on AI coding agent readiness positions this role at the intersection of design, engineering, and emerging AI technologies. This requires a candidate who not only excels in traditional design system management but also understands the nuances of structuring design artifacts for machine interpretation.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• End-to-end ownership of the Torq design system, encompassing component library, design tokens, usage guidelines, Storybook, and comprehensive documentation.

• Ensure a high standard of design execution and consistency across all user-facing surfaces of Torq's AI SOC platform.

• Build and meticulously maintain a Figma component library, ensuring seamless synchronization with the production codebase to minimize design-code drift.

• Structure the design system specifically for AI coding agent consumption, defining clear naming conventions, documentation standards, and explicit rules for tokens and components.

• Create and manage foundational AI context files (e.g., CLAUDE.md) detailing color rules, component guidelines, interaction patterns, and precise guardrails for correct component utilization by AI agents.

• Establish robust versioning, deprecation, and contribution processes to ensure the design system evolves in a controlled, predictable, and scalable manner.

• Proactively identify opportunities for design system improvements and advocate for their implementation across product development cycles.

• Collaborate with engineers to understand technical constraints and opportunities, ensuring the design system is both practical and performant.

• Champion the adoption and consistent use of the design system across product and engineering teams through training and ongoing support.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibility to make the design system "AI coding agent-ready" is a significant differentiator. This implies the need for meticulous documentation, strict naming conventions, and a deep understanding of how AI models interpret design specifications. The role requires a proactive approach to defining these AI-specific standards, rather than simply adapting existing ones.

🎓 Skills & Qualifications

Education: [No specific educational requirements mentioned; focus is on experience and demonstrated skills.]

Experience: 5+ years of product design experience, with a minimum of 3 years dedicated to building and managing design systems. Experience in complex, data-dense B2B or enterprise products is highly advantageous.

Required Skills:

• Design Systems Expertise: Proven experience in end-to-end design system ownership, including component libraries, design tokens, style guides, and documentation.

• Figma Proficiency: Deep expertise in Figma, including auto layout, variables, advanced component architecture, and library management.

• UX Fundamentals: Strong understanding of information hierarchy, interaction patterns, usability principles, and user-centered design methodologies.

• Code-Design Translation: Solid grasp of how design systems translate into code, including CSS, design tokens, and component patterns (specifically Vue.js knowledge is a plus).

• Accessibility Standards: Demonstrated ability to build with accessibility in mind, ensuring components meet WCAG standards (correct color contrast, keyboard navigation, focus states, ARIA patterns).

• Documentation & Communication: Proven ability to write precise, actionable documentation for both human designers and AI agents. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• System Thinking: Ability to organize complex systems, documentation, and processes; a strong preference for bringing order to chaos.

• Collaboration & Ownership: Genuine team player with a low ego, open to feedback, and capable of driving alignment and ownership across design and engineering.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with complex, data-dense B
