Senior Product Designer, Design Systems

Ondo Finance is looking for a Senior Product Designer to own, hands-on, the design systems behind everything we ship. You'll own two outright, institutional and consumer, and support the marketing team's system so brand and design-to-code stay tight. Our products move real money, so precision and accessibility are the floor, not the ceiling: we want institutional and consumer users alike to feel the craft, which makes visual expression and motion core to the system. You'll join a small, senior team that runs on high ownership and low ego, and this is a building role: you'll be in Figma and alongside engineers every day, shipping the components and tokens yourself while setting the direction for the systems you own.

• Both design systems, institutional and consumer, fully adopted across their web and mobile products, with measurable coverage (share of screens built from system components) rising quarter over quarter.


• Figma libraries and the front-end component library in parity: tokens, variants, and states match one-to-one, with drift caught and resolved as part of normal release cadence.


• Every system component meets WCAG AA, with accessibility criteria documented and verified before release, and the systems carry a visual and motion language that users notice and teams can reuse.


• Product teams ship faster: fewer one-off components, shorter design-to-build cycles, and a clear contribution path that teams actually use.


• Documentation and governance that scale beyond the design team: engineers, PMs, and AI agents can build correctly from the system without a designer in the loop.

• Own two design systems end to end, institutional and consumer: components, design tokens, theming, patterns, and the Figma libraries behind them, across web and mobile. Support the marketing team's design system as needed so brand practice stays consistent and design-to-code stays smooth.


• Define the expressive layer of both systems: visual language, motion principles, and the interaction details that make institutional and consumer products feel considered and alive, not merely correct.


• Design and ship the full stack of the system, from primitives and atoms through molecules and organisms to page templates, with polished interaction details and the visual hierarchy, typography, and layout rigor that trading and financial interfaces demand.


• Partner closely with UI engineers so that tokens and components map cleanly to the production component library, and so Figma and code stay in sync.


• Define how the system works on mobile: platform-appropriate interactions, responsive and adaptive behavior, and parity rules between web and native surfaces.


• Hold the system to WCAG 2.2 AA: color contrast, focus and keyboard behavior, motion, and screen-reader semantics baked into components rather than bolted on.


• Write clear, usable documentation (usage guidelines, do/don't examples, contribution guides) that designers, engineers, and AI agents can all work from.


• Run governance across teams: contribution and review process, versioning and deprecation, adoption tracking, and the forums where product teams propose and resolve system changes.


• Audit the system proactively to find gaps, inconsistencies, and drift across products, then prioritize and drive the fixes without waiting to be asked.


• Use AI tooling as part of daily work: agents, markdown guideline files, and MCP integrations that connect the design system to design and engineering workflows.
