TL;DR · Senior Design Technologist, Design Systems

The Senior Design Technologist, Design Systems, joins the CNN Digital Product Design Team to bridge the gap between design, engineering, and emerging AI capabilities. This role involves building and maintaining scalable, multi-platform design systems while identifying ways to use AI to transform workflows, such as automating component scaffolding, token generation, and content population. You will develop reusable UI components, maintain design tokens, and ensure consistency between Figma artifacts and production code. Key responsibilities include creating internal tools, scripts, and pipelines to optimize design-to-code workflows. Required skills include expert proficiency in Figma, front-end development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and experience with IDEs like Cursor or Claude. You will solve complex problems regarding system architecture, accessibility, and the responsible integration of generative AI into global media experiences.

What you'll do

  • Translate design intent into scalable, system-driven UI components and architecture.
  • Integrate AI into design system workflows for token generation, component scaffolding, and automation.
  • Build and maintain a multi-platform design system with reusable libraries and documentation.
  • Ensure consistency between design artifacts in Figma and production code.
  • Develop internal tools, scripts, and plugins to optimize design-to-code workflows.
  • Champion accessibility standards and responsible AI practices, including bias mitigation and transparency.
  • Partner with engineering to ensure performant, accessible, and high-quality UI implementations.
  • Conduct audits of UI quality and AI-assisted outputs for usability and accuracy.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience in a relevant role such as a design technologist, UX/UI engineer, or product designer.
  • Experience in enterprise, platforms, and/or internal tools (preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to incorporate AI into design workflows to test ideas and communicate solutions.
  • Expert proficiency with Figma, including variable maintenance, components, styles, and shared libraries.
  • Experience creating and maintaining component libraries.
  • Strong front-end development skills in a major framework including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Deep understanding of design systems, component architecture, and design tokens.
  • Proficiency using an IDE such as Cursor or Claude.
  • Familiarity with current AI capabilities including generative AI, LLMs, and multimodal systems.
  • Understanding of prompt design, structured outputs, or API-based AI integrations.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with experience collaborating with cross-functional partners.
