Design System Designer

North is a digital product studio from Barcelona. We partner with bold companies to innovate new services and build digital products. Our values are: show your passion, act as an owner, think rigorously, figure it out & hold the line ⚡

As a Design System Designer at North, you’ll play a key role in building, evolving, and maintaining scalable design systems. You’ll work closely with designers, product managers, and developers to ensure consistency, efficiency, and high-quality user experiences. We’re looking for someone who cares deeply about structure, scalability, and craft, and who enjoys creating the foundations that enable teams to design better and faster.

As a Design System Designer at North, you will…

• Lead the creation, documentation, and evolution of design systems.


• Define and maintain UI components, patterns, and guidelines to ensure consistency and scalability.


• Collaborate closely with developers to ensure seamless implementation of the design system.


• Audit and improve existing design systems, identifying gaps and opportunities.


• Advocate for design system adoption and best practices.


• Create and maintain libraries in Figma, ensuring they are structured, usable, and up to date.


• Balance system thinking with product needs, enabling flexibility without compromising consistency.

Ideally, you’ll bring…

• 3+ years of experience in digital product design, with a strong focus on design systems.


• Proven experience creating or maintaining design systems in real-world products.


• Deep understanding of UI design, components, tokens, and scalable systems.


• Strong proficiency in Figma (libraries, variables, auto layout, etc.).


• Experience collaborating with developers and understanding of front-end constraints (HTML/CSS basics is a plus).


• Strong attention to detail and obsession with consistency and quality.


• Clear communication skills (Spanish) and ability to document and explain system decisions.


• A structured, systems-thinking mindset combined with a pragmatic approach.

But ‘what’s in it for me’, I hear you ask?

• Ideally, you are based in Madrid or in a location with easy and fast access to the city, as occasional in-person collaboration may be required.


• Macbook Pro 13” or similar.


• 22 paid vacation days plus of course Spanish public holidays.


• Your birthday as an extra paid vacation day.


• Legendary social events & parties to let off some steam.

North is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. You’re welcome on the team no matter where you’re from, who you like, what you look like, or if you prefer Figma over Sketch. We hire based on your qualifications and demonstrated ability to perform job responsibilities. Our designs are for everyone, and so is our workplace.
