Role overview

Clear Street Active is a new retail trading platform building its design team from scratch. This is a critical early hire to help set the design foundation as the company builds fast. The role is rooted in design systems but won't stay there — you'll be involved in product decisions alongside PMs and engineers from day one.

Responsibilities

Own the design system: token architecture, Figma Variables, component library, Code Connect mappings, documentation
Be the connection between design and engineering. When things drift, catch it and work with engineering to fix it before it becomes a problem.
Set accessibility and quality standards and hold to them
Work with PMs and product designers when a systems decision has product implications
Use AI tooling as part of how you work. Claude Code, Cursor, whatever closes gaps and moves things faster.

Requirements

Has built or substantially rebuilt a design system, not just contributed to one. Those are different jobs.
Fluent in Figma Variables, design tokens, and the Figma-to-code bridge, whether that's Code Connect, Token Studio, or something equivalent
Has opinions about token naming, semantic structure, and governance, and can explain them clearly to an engineer or a PM
Uses AI tooling to actually close gaps, not just as an experiment
Some familiarity with investing or trading, from work or personal use
Comfortable in the product layer. Understands the users at the end of the decisions being made.
Can work without much oversight
