Senior Product Designer, Design Systems

Sentry 🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States of America

Hybrid $170,000 - $200,000 Full-time Senior

The Senior Product Designer will own and evolve the design system, which includes shared components, patterns, and guidelines, ensuring product consistency, accessibility, and building efficiency. This involves partnering with design and engineering to design, specify, and refine system components, auditing patterns, and creating necessary documentation and libraries.

Responsibilities

  • Own the component libraries, variables, and styles that define Sentry's design language — keeping them accurate, well-documented, and in sync with what's built in code
  • Partner directly with design engineers to spec new components, refine existing ones, and ensure design intent translates cleanly into implementation
  • Audit the product for pattern inconsistencies and drive consolidation — defining clear guidance for when to use what
  • Create and maintain documentation, usage guidelines, and Storybook stories that help designers and engineers use the system correctly
  • Build shared tools like lint rules, templates, and contribution workflows that scale consistency without slowing teams down
  • Advocate for the design system across product teams — fielding questions, reviewing component usage, and coaching designers on best practices

Requirements

  • 5+ years designing complex software products, with meaningful experience in a design systems team at a comparable scale
  • Deep fluency with Figma's design systems tooling — components, variants, variables, auto layout, shared libraries, and branching workflows
  • Strong visual and interaction design skills with a sharp eye for spacing, hierarchy, and micro-interactions
  • Experience collaborating closely with frontend engineers on component implementation — you can speak to props, states, and edge cases
  • Comfortable creating and maintaining design documentation, usage guidelines, and contribution processes

Benefits

  • Incentive compensation
  • Equity grants
  • Paid time off
  • Group health insurance coverage
