Job Description

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer, Design Systems to help shape the foundations that power experiences across our global streaming portfolio.

You’ll help evolve our global design system, creating the components, patterns, frameworks, and tools that enable teams to build cohesive, accessible, and scalable experiences across TV, web, mobile platforms.

This role is anchored in systems thinking and sits at the intersection of product design and engineering. You'll partner closely with Product Design, Product Management, Engineering, and Brand teams to turn product needs into reusable solutions, strengthen the connection between design and code, and make it easier for teams to build high-quality experiences at scale.

We’re looking for someone who sees patterns beyond individual screens, enjoys solving complex platform challenges, and believes a great design system should empower teams rather than constrain them.

What You'll Do:

• Build and evolve our design system. Design scalable components, patterns, and foundations, using thoughtful component architecture, variables, modes, and tokens to support experiences across products and platforms.
• Bridge design and engineering. Partner closely with engineers to translate designs into production-ready components, defining properties, states, behaviors, and specifications while strengthening design-to-development workflows.
• Solve at the system level. Identify patterns across products, standardize where it creates value, reduce unnecessary complexity, and turn individual product needs into flexible solutions that can scale across experiences.
• Drive adoption and enable teams. Create clear documentation, usage guidance, and contribution processes. Partner with teams through design reviews, consultation, and office hours to help them effectively use and contribute back to the system.
• Design with accessibility at the foundation. Incorporate accessibility into components and patterns from the start, applying WCAG standards at the component level and supporting consistent experiences across platforms.
• Improve how the system works. Explore tooling, automation, and emerging technologies that can improve system maintenance, documentation, QA, and design-to-code workflows.
• Shape what’s next. Explore how tooling, automation, and AI-assisted workflows can improve how we build, maintain, document, and use the system.
• Balance today's needs with long-term system health. Help prioritize system evolution based on product needs, adoption, and system health while balancing near-term delivery with the long-term sustainability of the system.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 5+ years of product design experience, with at least 2+ years of direct experience building, scaling, or implementing design systems.
• A portfolio demonstrating design systems work, including your approach to components, patterns, systems thinking, and implementation.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, variants, auto layout, variables, modes, and library management.
• Hands-on experience with design tokens, theming, and scalable component architecture.
• Experience partnering closely with Engineering to translate design system decisions into production components.
• Strong systems-thinking skills and the ability to identify patterns, understand tradeoffs, and translate complex product needs into scalable solutions.
• Strong understanding of interaction design, visual design, and accessibility, including WCAG standards.
• Experience designing systems that support multiple platforms, products, or devices.
• Knowledge of and interest in AI-assisted design and development workflows.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions and tradeoffs across Product, Design, and Engineering.
• Ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity, and move complex initiatives forward across multiple teams.

Hybrid: This position currently has a hybrid schedule, which requires contributing from the office a minimum of four days per week. The Company reserves the right to change in-office requirements at any time.

Salary range: $150,000 - $185,000 (bonus + long-term incentive eligible)
