A Design Technologist in the iOS design systems team acts as the bridge between product designers and iOS engineers, helping build consistent, scalable, and high-quality mobile experiences. This role is ideal for someone who can take design ideas and Figma prototypes and convert them into reusable, production-ready SwiftUI components that power the iOS UI across products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with designers to translate high-fidelity UI designs into interactive, reusable SwiftUI components.
• Build and maintain iOS design-system components, ensuring visual and functional consistency across apps.
• Develop accessible (WCAG 2.1 compliant), performant, and responsive iOS interfaces, with support for internationalization and localization.
• Implement and manage design tokens using tools like Figma Tokens, Token Studio, and Style Dictionary.
• Ensure alignment with Apple Human Interface Guidelines and iOS design conventions.
• Document component usage, contribute to internal design system guidelines, and help enforce UI consistency at scale.
• Work within Agile teams, actively participating in sprints and design-development handoffs.
• Collaborate closely with iOS engineers to define scalable UI architecture and reusable design patterns.
