Principal Product Designer

Your Responsibilities:

• Using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor), audit existing component libraries and live product experiences — mapping gaps, drift, and inconsistencies — to generate a data-backed plan to unify and streamline the system.
• Own and drive Kin's token architecture across color, typography, spacing, and motion, structured as primitive, semantic, and component tokens, as the single source of truth for design and code.
• Establish and maintain Figma-to-code parity, partnering with engineering on the pipeline from design tokens to implemented, documented components.

What You’ll Bring:

• A track record of taking a design system from audit through architecture to adoption — you treat the system as a product, not a deliverable.
• Deep fluency in token architecture and mastery of Figma as a systems tool — variables, libraries, and modes.
• Proven ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate manual tasks, automate documentation, and speed up the design-to-code feedback loop.

How We Support You:

• Competitive salary and company equity through RSUs, plus eligibility for additional annual compensation through Kin Leadership Incentive Plan.
• Multiple medical plan options, dental and vision coverage, company-funded HSA contributions, and 401(k) with match up to 4%.
• Flexible PTO (most employees take 15–20 days per year), paid parental leave (up to 14 weeks for birthing parents, 8 weeks for non-birthing parents), and professional development budgets.
