What You’ll Do At Above

• Lead the creation of scalable, robust design systems for complex enterprise products.

• A strong portfolio showcasing real, complex design systems (AI-assisted work is a plus).
• Expert in Figma and curious about the new wave of AI design tools.
• Strong system thinking — you know how to structure tokens and data so machines and humans understand them.
• A sharp QA mindset: you use AI to explore, but trust your eye to curate and validate.
• Comfortable explaining complex ideas to designers, developers, and stakeholders.
• Mentor the team on how to use AI responsibly and creatively within design systems.

What Above Offers

• Exciting projects with global clients
• A warm, collaborative culture with personal coaching
• Central Stockholm office
