Product Designer, Design Systems (Hybrid)

About the role

Clara is a Latin American payment platform with around 400 employees, and it is hiring a Product Designer to own Prism, its design system. This is a hands-on builder role reporting to the Head of Design: you define what the design system should be and make it happen, prototyping in code, opening pull requests and running evaluations without waiting on others.

Key responsibilities

• Own Prism's design on web and mobile: foundations, tokens, components and patterns, working with the engineers who maintain the library.
• Turn Clara's design principles into guidance on when to use each pattern, for which users and why, for people and AI agents.
• Define the mobile pattern layer, deciding where to follow the platform and where Clara diverges.
• Extend the agentic layer: skills, context files and agent workflows so anyone can go from idea to on-system UI and pull requests.
• Set quality standards with evals and automated checks for components and AI-generated output, covering accessibility, visual regression and token compliance.
• Use models to benchmark Prism against other systems and close the gaps.
• Manage contribution, versioning and releases with engineering, and decide what becomes a system pattern, what stays local and what gets deprecated.
• Measure adoption and speed, and remove what slows product teams down.

Required profile

• 5+ years in product design, including building a design system and driving its adoption, with both architecture and results shown.
• Senior judgment on system decisions and ability to explain trade-offs.
• Strong design craft and deep knowledge of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design, with experience defining patterns for native apps.
• Built AI tooling others rely on: agents, skills, evals or multi-step workflows.
• Operations mindset: process, metrics, governance and documentation.
• Professional English, able to present work, run sessions and write documentation in English.

Nice to have

• Fintech or B2B experience with complex, data-heavy UI.
• Multi-brand or multi-market systems, including localization.
• Migration from one component library to another.
• Basic Swift or Kotlin to prototype and review implementation.
• CI, GitHub Actions or visual regression tooling.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and stock options (ESOP) from day one.
• An annual learning budget and accelerated development paths.
• A hybrid setup, with time spent in the office naturally and most days during ramp-up or when asked.
