About the role
TL;DR
Own and lead the Avantos design system and core product design.
- •As Principal Designer, you'll own the Avantos design system end-to-end and lead design on our core product surface, the Agent Portal.
- •This is a senior individual-contributor craft role, not a people-management one.
- •Key Responsibilities Own the Avantos design system end-to-end: component library, design tokens, pattern language, and the contribution rubric that keeps it coherent as the team grows Set craft direction across the design team through the system, so the bar lives in shared patterns and tenets rather than in one person's head Lead design on the Agent Portal, our most-trafficked surface and the place where the system ships first and gets pressure-tested in real product work Author and evolve our design tenets, partnering with the Head of Design to codify what design means at Avantos Develop the designers around you through critique, mentorship, and modeling rationale-driven thinking Requirements 8+ years of product design experience, with craft leadership that reaches beyond your own projects; you've moved the bar at a company, not just shipped strong individual work Deep expertise in product design fundamentals: interaction, information architecture, visual craft, and the systems thinking that turns a component library into a governing design system A track record of authoring design systems, tenets, or patterns that other designers adopted and built on
