Product Designer, Design Systems (Remote, Punta del Este)

About the role

Blacksmith Agency builds websites for clients across the US. As Product Designer, Design Systems, you build the Figma design systems the team ships to every client site: tokens, variables, modes and component libraries that developers use without asking questions. This is a full-time, in-house seat and must be your only job; freelancers, studios or agencies are not a fit.

Key responsibilities

• Own token architecture in Figma: variables, modes and semantic naming, from primitives to components.
• Build component libraries that hold up across an entire site, not just a homepage.
• Provide handoff and documentation so a developer or build pipeline can execute the system without questions.
• Design several client brands at once, each distinct but with the same underlying structure.

Required profile

• 4+ years as a product, UI or design systems designer, ideally on an in-house team.
• A design system you personally built in Figma with variables, modes and tokens, which you can explain in detail.
• Experience handing a system to developers and keeping Figma and code in step.
• Strong spoken English, presenting and defending the system on live calls with a US team.
• Full-time availability overlapping US business hours.

To apply, submit a short application and complete a 6-minute Predictive Index assessment with the same email; qualified candidates then take a 20-minute recorded interview in English about the systems they have built.
