Senior Product Designer - Barcelona Hybrid

Sounds awesome, right? Now, let's make sure you're a good fit for the role.

We're looking for someone who has:

• 4+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time spent working on or contributing to design systems.
• A portfolio showing design systems work-whether building components, creating documentation, or establishing patterns. We want to see how you think about systematic design problems.
• Strong Figma skills, including experience with component architecture, variants, auto-layout, and variables. You know how to build things that scale and that other designers can actually use.
• Experience with design tokens and an understanding of how they enable theming, consistency, and multi-brand support.
• Solid understanding of design fundamentals-typography, spacing, color, and interaction patterns. You can explain why something should be a certain way, not just how to build it.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and how they apply to component design. Accessibility should be built in, not bolted on.
• Strong documentation skills. You can write clearly and create guidelines that people actually read and follow.
• Ability to work independently and manage your own priorities. You're proactive about communicating and don't need constant check-ins to stay on track.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Design, HCI, or related field.

• Understanding of how design systems connect to code (CSS, React component APIs, etc.)
• Experience with design system versioning and contribution workflows
• Familiarity with multi-brand or white-label design system challenges
• Experience working with distributed or fully remote teams
• Background in news media, publishing, or content-heavy products
• Knowledge of design system tooling beyond Figma (Storybook, Zeroheight, etc.)
• AI Tooling Proficiency: Leverage one or more AI tools to optimize and augment day-to-day work, including drafting, analysis, research, or process automation. Provide recommendations on effective AI use and identify opportunities to streamline workflows.

This role focuses on the core of the system: building components, maintaining our Figma libraries, and creating documentation that helps other designers use the system effectively.

You'll work with the Design Systems; this includes building new components and refining existing ones. The work requires someone who's detail-oriented, thinks systematically, and understands how design systems scale.

As a Senior Product Designer, you will:

• Build and refine components: You'll create new components based on product team needs and improve existing ones to handle edge cases, accessibility requirements, and multi-brand applications.

• Maintain and organize our Figma libraries, ensuring they're structured clearly, documented well, and easy for other designers to use. You'll keep things tidy as the system grows and evolves.

• Create clear, useful documentation that helps designers understand when and how to use components correctly. Good documentation means fewer questions and more consistent implementation across teams.

• Work with design tokens and Figma variables to ensure the system supports theming, multi-brand needs, and maintainability at scale.

• Help bridge Index and product-area extensions, ensuring patterns flow appropriately between the core system and the specialized libraries that build on it.

• Partner with engineering on design-to-code alignment when needed, helping ensure what's in Figma matches what gets built.

• Work independently while staying connected to the core team. You'll manage your own work, communicate proactively about progress and blockers, and stay aligned on priorities through async collaboration.

• Maintain high craft standards in everything you contribute. Design systems work is detail work-precision and consistency matter.
