Sr Design System Technologist

T-Mobile T-Mobile · Telecom · Frisco, TX +3

This role builds and evolves an AI-powered design system for digital products, focusing on improving quality, scalability, and consistency through user-centered system design and intelligent automation. The role leverages AI-driven workflows to accelerate component creation, streamline maintenance, and enhance the efficiency of product delivery, while also defining guidelines for AI integration in design and development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Use AI tools to accelerate component generation, streamline documentation and workflows, create interactive prototypes to test and iterate on concepts, and deliver functional component solutions to engineering for faster implementation.
  2. Lead the development and refinement of design tokens, reusable components, UI patterns, and component architecture to ensure cross-platform design-system consistency, governance, and innovative digital experiences across platforms.
  3. Partner with designers, engineers, Experience Design teams, Engineering Enablement Lanes, and the Design System Manager to understand requirements, technical constraints, and implementation workflows while fostering collaboration and streamlining communication between design and engineering teams.
  4. Research, build, and contribute to the initial front-end implementation of complex UI patterns, components, and interactive experiences; collaborate with engineering teams to transform prototypes into functional production-ready solutions across applications and teams.
  5. Drive design system adoption, consistency, innovation, and implementation workflows; build Figma plugins and contribution processes to improve designer and developer efficiency while promoting forward-thinking approaches to digital capabilities and user experiences.

Skills

Required
