About the role

Senior Visual Designer responsible for owning and evolving Grindr's core design system, collaborating with product designers and engineers, and integrating AI tools to accelerate design work in a hybrid role based in San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Responsibilities

  • Own the development, documentation, and ongoing refinement of Grindr's core design system - components, tokens, patterns, and the guidelines that govern how they are used
  • Partner directly with product designers and engineers to ensure the system is adopted consistently and evolves to meet real product needs
  • Identify and resolve design inconsistencies across the core app, driving toward a more coherent and efficient product experience
  • Contribute strong visual design craft to the system - not just structural rigor, but considered, polished execution that raises the quality bar for the whole product
  • Operate with a high degree of autonomy in a lean environment - prioritize effectively, make defensible decisions without heavy process, and move fast without creating debt
  • Lead the charge on integrating our design system with AI tools

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of product or visual design experience, with at least 2-3 years of focused design systems ownership - building or significantly evolving a system, not just contributing to one
  • Demonstrated experience working in smaller or mid-size companies where you built or maintained systems with limited resources and without a dedicated systems team around you
  • Strong visual design skills - typography, color, iconography, spacing, and motion - with a portfolio that shows craft alongside systems thinking
  • Proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, variables, auto layout, and design token management
  • Track record of partnering with engineers to implement design systems in code - comfortable working across the design-to-development handoff
  • Experience documenting systems clearly for audiences with varying levels of design fluency - product designers, engineers, and non-design stakeholders
