Principal Designer – Design Systems

Full-time · Hybrid (4 days on-site) · Reports to Head of Product Design

About OLOID

OLOID builds passwordless identity and access management for frontline workforces. These are the people on factory floors, in hospitals, in retail stores, and in warehouses who need secure access that is fast and simple. Our products run on Android, iOS, web, and Windows, and they are used by enterprise customers across industries.

The role

We’re looking for a Principal Designer to own OLOID’s design system across every platform we ship on. You’ll maintain it, grow it, and build it so it scales. You’ll also make it the foundation for how we use AI to generate design iterations: a system structured well enough that AI tools can produce on-brand, on-spec work from it.

This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Head of Product Design, based in Bengaluru with a hybrid setup: 4 days a week on-site.

What you’ll do

• Own the OLOID design system end to end: foundations, tokens, components, patterns, and documentation.
• Create and evolve components that work across Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Balance one consistent OLOID experience against each platform’s native conventions (Material, Human Interface Guidelines, Fluent).
• Structure the system so AI tools can use it. That means well-named tokens, clear component specifications, and documentation that tools can read, so AI can generate design iterations and code that stay true to the system.
• Build and refine AI-assisted workflows that speed up exploration and iteration for the design team.
• Work closely with engineering so that what’s in Figma matches what ships, including token pipelines, component parity, and handoff standards.
• Audit products for consistency and accessibility, and set the standards others design against.
• Drive adoption across the design team and help them get the most out of the system.

What we’re looking for

• A formal design education (design degree or equivalent).
• 7–10 years of experience in UI design, with a strong visual and interaction craft portfolio.
• At least 2 years of hands-on work building or maintaining a design system, not just using one.
• Experience designing across multiple platforms. Mobile plus web is essential; Windows or desktop is a strong plus.
• Deep Figma expertise: variables, modes, component properties, and library management.
• Real, practical experience using AI in your design workflow, and curiosity about where it’s heading.
• A solid working understanding of how design tokens and components translate into code.
• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA).
• Clear written documentation. In this role, your documentation is part of the product.

Nice to have

• Enterprise SaaS or B2B product experience.
• Experience with token tooling or design-to-code workflows (e.g., Figma MCP, Style Dictionary).
• Design experience for frontline, industrial, or shared-device users.

Your portfolio

Your portfolio should include at least one design system you have built or maintained: what you inherited, what you changed, and what impact it had. Please add a link to your portfolio in your resume or cover letter.
