UI Designer (Design System)

📍 Job Overview

Job Title: UI Designer (Design System)

Company: Dexcom

Location: Vilnius, Lithuania

Job Type: FULL_TIME

Category: UI/UX Design & Design Systems

Date Posted: 2026-06-11

Experience Level: 2-5 years

Remote Status: Hybrid

🚀 Role Summary

• Design and enhance UI components, ensuring alignment with the overall design language and accessibility standards.

• Refine the Dexcom design system language, visual design documentation, and specifications for consistent user experiences across digital products.

• Collaborate extensively with R&D and UI app design teams to translate requirements into intuitive and visually appealing interfaces.

• Leverage expertise in Figma, Auto Layout, component properties, and design tokens to build and maintain organized design system libraries.

• Drive the adoption and evolution of the design system, impacting all digital products within the Dexcom ecosystem.

📝 Enhancement Note: While the role is for a UI Designer, the emphasis on "Design System" and its integration across multiple products and platforms (iOS, Android, Web, Flutter) positions this as a specialized role with significant impact on product consistency and development efficiency, aligning with GTM (Go-To-Market) operations by ensuring a unified brand and user experience. The mention of "Design Operations" also hints at process improvement within the design function.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and enhance UI components within the Dexcom design system, ensuring adherence to established design language and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.x AA).

• Consistently refine the design system's visual language, documentation, and specifications for clarity and usability by development teams.

• Apply mastery of formal design elements (color, layout, typography, iconography, etc.) to create visually compelling and user-friendly interfaces.

• Collaborate closely with Research & Development (R&D) to provide comprehensive visual design specifications and ensure accurate implementation across iOS, Android, and Web applications.

• Partner with the UI app design team to translate product requirements into intuitive interface designs that seamlessly integrate with the existing design system logic.

• Guide and mentor other stakeholders in making visual design decisions for mobile/wearable interfaces, ensuring compliance with design system guidelines.

• Contribute to the expansion and evolution of the design system, potentially incorporating AI tools to improve design efficiency and automation.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities clearly outline a role focused on the foundational elements of product design consistency. For operations professionals, understanding how a robust design system directly impacts GTM readiness, product launch speed, and brand integrity is crucial. The emphasis on "ensuring designs are implemented as intended" speaks to quality control within the product development lifecycle.

🎓 Skills & Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's degree typically required.

Experience: Minimum of 2-5 years of related experience in UI design, with a strong focus on design systems.
