We’re looking for a Senior Design Systems Designer to join our growing design systems team. At this level, you’re not just maintaining the system, you’re driving its vision, raising the bar for craft, and becoming a force multiplier for every designer and engineer at Genius AI.
As we scale, invest in AI across our product, and undergo a company-wide rebrand in partnership with Porto Rocha, the design system is more critical than ever. We’re looking for someone who can take real ownership, operate with minimal oversight, influence cross-functional partners, and help shape where design systems goes at Genius AI over the next several years.
This role is remote in the Greater Toronto Area.
Own the vision and execution of our design system, defining standards, driving adoption, and evolving the system as the product scales
