Design System Designer
Rentman · Utrecht
What you will do
Define Rentman's visual language (hierarchy, density, tone, when-to guidance) and document it so teams can apply it without you in the room.
Build and maintain the Figma component library to our Definition of Done: in Figma and in Storybook/Angular at parity, token-driven, documented, and passing WCAG AA.
Document the system in two layers: human guidelines and rationale, plus machine-readable usage rules that AI design and development tools can apply reliably.
Establish the patterns and templates layer for our priority flows, so teams compose instead of reinventing.
Run governance: the contribution process, changelog, deprecations, and design reviews with a clear turnaround.
Partner daily with our Design System Developer as a small, autonomous two-person team, and act as the design team's visual-craft anchor via crit and review, while the product teams building Rentman's software remain your most important stakeholders.
What they look for
Top-of-team UI and visual craft, backed by a strong portfolio - you'll be the most visually skilled designer on the team from day one.
Expert in Figma (variants, tokens/variables, auto-layout), with real hands-on experience building a design system.
WCAG AA fluency, and a genuine understanding of what makes software interfaces good, and how to build them.
An understanding of what makes a design system consumable by AI tooling: why publishing token data is the easy part, and encoding usage rules is the hard part.
Experience managing multiple stakeholders (product owners, developers, designers), and a healthy relationship with critique (giving it and receiving it).
