Product Designer, Design Systems (Contract)

Noom US•Princeton, NY

2d•$100 - $150•Hybrid

About The Position

Noom is seeking a Product Designer, Design Systems for a 3-month contract role (35-40 hrs/week) to accelerate the maturity of Noom's design system. The role involves building a token structure that works cleanly across platforms, preparing the design system for AI tools, and bridging the gap between design in Figma and actual code implementation. This position is ideal for someone interested in shaping the future of health by building the foundational design systems that enable reliable, large-scale design delivery.

Requirements

Played a significant role in shipping, rebuilding, or advancing a large design system.
Deep hands-on experience with agentic design and what design system/brand gaps matter most for AI results.
Judgment on when Figma vs. code should be the source of truth, component by component.
Diagnosed and fixed real Figma-to-production inconsistencies.
Strong judgment on component architecture and token architecture (primitive, semantic, component-level), including light/dark and brand theming.
Experience helping a design team actually adopt a new system, not just document one.

Responsibilities

Build and scale design systems in Figma at a senior/staff level, including components, variants, and token architecture.
Bring deep expertise in platform design standards (Material Design, Apple HIG, Liquid Glass) and know when to deviate.
Design token and component structures that translate cleanly into code.
Work with engineers on Code Connect, linking Figma components to their code counterparts.
Advise on structuring our design system so AI tools can use it reliably (docs, MD/JSON files).
Mentor designers on semantic tokens and proper component-building.
Advise on a governance model for versioning, contributing, and retiring system updates.
Guide how a brand refresh rolls through the token layer without rebuilding every component.
