Project Description:

We are looking for a Design Systems Lead for our client, one of the world's largest natural resource companies. The role will focus on establishing and evolving a unified design system across an enterprise-grade Commodity Trading & Risk Management (CTRM) platform built on multiple micro-frontends.

The platform (COMET) requires a single accountable expert to define, govern, and scale a consistent UI layer across teams. The successful candidate will ensure that design and implementation remain fully aligned by owning the end-to-end design system lifecycle, from Figma design standards to front-end component implementation.

This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role with no direct reports, requiring strong expertise in both UX systems design and front-end engineering practices. The individual will act as the key authority for UI consistency, reuse, and design governance across multiple development teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve the enterprise design system including components, patterns, and design tokens

• Define and manage versioning, documentation standards, contribution model, and deprecation lifecycle for UI assets

• Improve and maintain the design token pipeline and ensure seamless design-to-code synchronization

• Expand and govern Storybook as the canonical component library for the platform

• Implement and enforce visual regression testing for UI consistency across releases

• Define and enforce UI Definition of Done, ensuring reuse of existing components and tokens

• Run intake, triage, and governance process ensuring teams prioritize reuse over duplication

• Enforce design system compliance through code reviews, linting rules, and onboarding standards

• Monitor, analyze, and report adoption metrics and UI drift to UX/UI Lead and Front-End Lead

• Collaborate closely with design, engineering, and platform teams to ensure alignment between UX vision and implementation

Mandatory Skills Description:

• Proven experience building and/or operating an enterprise-scale design system

• Strong hands-on experience with Figma in a design system context

• Deep knowledge of design tokens, token architecture, and design-to-code pipelines

• Practical experience with Storybook and component library governance

• Experience implementing or working with visual regression testing frameworks

• Strong expertise in CSS/SCSS and scalable UI architecture patterns

• Solid understanding of modern front-end engineering practices (micro-frontends is a plus)

• Experience working in large-scale, multi-team enterprise environments

• Ability to operate as a senior individual contributor with strong ownership mindset

• Strong communication skills and ability to drive adoption across engineering teams

• English: C1 Advanced

Nice-to-Have Skills Description:

• Experience in data-dense enterprise applications (e.g., trading, finance, analytics platforms)

• Hands-on engineering background in front-end development

• Exposure to Angular-based enterprise applications

• Experience working in or around micro-frontend architectures

• Knowledge or exposure to backend systems in enterprise environments

• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows or "agentic AI" tooling for engineering productivity
