This isn't a maintenance role. You're establishing the standards 's next stage of product complexity gets built on.
- We need someone who can hold the full system in their head and still catch a four-pixel misalignment without missing a beat, with real conviction about brand and visual quality baked into every call. You'll work side by side with frontend and platform engineering leadership to design, ship, and iterate on the components, patterns, and tokens the product runs on, and you'll have the mandate to grow a team around this practice as Cornerstone's footprint expands.
- How fast our teams can build, how consistently the product behaves, and how much trust our users place in high-stakes permitting, licensing, and inspection workflows all trace back to this foundation.

- Set a multi-year direction for the design system and turn it into a roadmap that design, engineering, and product leadership can develop in concert.
- Design, prototype, and ship production-ready components hand in hand with a dedic
- Define how contribution, governance, and deprecation work in an AI-native working environment; balance shipping speed against system integrity; and adjust the model as the org grows.
- Bake accessibility, responsiveness, and performance into every part of the system from day one.
- Create the documentation, onboarding materials, and reference resources that make Cornerstone the quickest route to shipping well.
- Advocate for the system & guild in planning, design reviews, and roadmap conversations, and hold firm when speed and integrity are in tension.
- Mentor others in design systems craft as the practice grows, shaping what that craft looks like at for years ahead.
- Build real expertise in construction permitting, licensing, and inspections, leading with curiosity even if pre-construction is new territory for you.
Требования
- A portfolio with real point of view, not just system diagrams: craft, quality, accessibility, and visual cohesion are all a must.
- 10+ years in product design, with meaningful ownership of a design system across a multi-product environment; brand or visual design background is a plus.
- Strong command of component architecture, design tokens, and what it takes for a system to total adoption across teams and surfaces.
- A history of working shoulder to shoulder with frontend engineers to ship production-grade systems, not just handing off specs and moving on.
- A track record of setting & reinforcing accessibility standards.
- Clear communication about system tradeoffs, whether you're talking to designers, engineers, or executives.
- Mastery of Figma, Notion, and Linear; actively experimenting with the next best tool to add to our stack.
