Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Overview
- We re looking for a detail-obsessed designer who turns UI designs into production-ready Figma files that developers love to work with and that are cleanly structured for Locofy (Auto Layout, components, naming, responsive behavior).
- This role is about design system hygiene, structure, consistency, and handoff quality more than concepting.
- Convert existing Figma screens into
- developer-ready, production-grade files
- (pixel-perfect, consistent, structured).
- Ensure all layouts are built with
- proper Auto Layout
- (including nested layouts, spacing, padding, constraints) suitable for
- Locofy conversion
- .
- Build and maintain reusable
- components + variants
- , properties, and consistent usage across screens.
- Apply and enforce
- design system standards
- (typography scale, spacing system, colors, radii, shadows, grids).
- Set up responsive behavior using
- constraints and layout rules
- (desktop/tablet/mobile patterns where relevant).
- Prepare clean handoff documentation inside Figma:
- sectioning, page structure, annotations
- interaction notes and edge-case notes (hover/active/disabled/loading/empty states)
- Standardize:
- naming conventions (layers, frames, components)
- ken-like styles (text styles, color styles, effects)
- icon usage and sizing rules
- Coordinate with UI/UX designers and developers to ensure feasibility and consistency.
- Run
- handoff QA
- : check for missing states, inconsistent spacing, wrong constraints, broken components, or non-standard usage.
Locofy And Auto Layout Requirements (Core)
- Use Auto Layout everywhere it makes sense (buttons, cards, lists, nav, form rows, modals, tables).
- Correct use of hug / fill / fixed, min sizes where needed, and predictable resizing behavior.
- Proper frame nesting and structure for clean code generation.
- Components structured to be reusable and scalable (no one-off messy frames).
- Avoid layout hacks (random absolute positioning, inconsistent padding, misaligned constraints).
- Ability to support developers with assets / usecases / errors states etc.
Deliverables You Own
- Dev-ready Figma files
- with clean structure and consistent styling
- Locofy-ready frames
- where conversion is expected
- Component libraries / mini design systems where applicable
- Handoff notes + interaction/state coverage
- Support for Development team
- Strong production-level Figma skills:
- Auto Layout mastery
- Components, variants, properties
- Styles, variables/tokens (where applicable)
- Constraints & responsive setup
- Excellent attention to detail and consistency (spacing, alignment, typography).
- Solid understanding of
- frontend realities
- (responsive layouts, reusable patterns, component-based thinking).
- Ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality; comfortable handling many screens.
- Nice to Have
- Experience using Locofy (or similar tools like Anima) and understanding common conversion pitfalls.
- Familiarity with design systems (Atomic Design, token-based systems).
- Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS layout concepts (flexbox, grid) to mirror best practices in Figma.
Working Style
- You re systematic: checklists, standards, repeatable structure.
- You communicate clearly with devs and proactively resolve ambiguity.
- You care about handoff quality as a craft.
- Success Metrics (How We ll Judge the Role)
- Developers can build faster with fewer questions.
- Locofy conversions require minimal rework.
- Components are reusable, consistent, and scalable.
- Design files are clean, organized, and easy to navigate.
