Design Systems Engineer – Remote (Montevideo)

About the role

Blacksmith Agency builds websites and marketing programs for US clients. As a Design Systems Engineer you own the creation of client design systems, turning brand guidelines and reference sites into reusable token architectures, variables, modes, and core components. Precision and speed are essential.

Key responsibilities

• Build token architecture in Figma using variables, modes, and semantic naming that our pipeline can read predictably.
• Ship core component libraries that remain consistent across entire sites, not just homepages.
• Document the system so developers or automated pipelines can execute it without questions.
• Work across multiple client brands simultaneously, maintaining distinct visual identities while applying the same structural rigor.

Required profile

• 4+ years designing for the web with real design‑system work showcased in a portfolio.
• Fluency in Figma variables, component properties, auto‑layout, and variants, delivering actual architecture rather than tidy files.
• A portfolio demonstrating varied client work while maintaining consistent underlying rigor.
• Strong English skills and availability that overlaps with US business hours.
