Preferred: Experience building Figma plugins or linting and guardrail tooling.
Preferred: Track record implementing scalable theming, density, and semantic token strategies across multiple products or platforms.
Preferred: Experience facilitating design sprints, co-creation workshops, or governance reviews.
