At Cloudera, we empower people to transform complex data into clear and actionable insights. We need an experienced and talented designer to spearhead the evolution of our design system across a suite of enterprise data platform tools used by some of the world's most data-driven organizations. You'll lead efforts to create and maintain a scalable, accessible, and robust design system that empowers our design and engineering teams.

Tasks

  • Own the end-to-end strategy and execution of our design system, ensuring it scales to support multiple enterprise-grade applications and user personas.
  • Partner with product designers, engineers, and product managers to create a shared language through reusable UI components and documentation and uphold implementation quality.
  • Build and maintain a component library in Figma, along with production-ready components in frameworks such as React, with a focus on performance and flexibility.
  • Design patterns that accommodate complex user workflows, large-scale data visualization, customization, and role-based UX.
  • Pioneer the integration and governance of our design system with AI tools (Figma Make, Claude, Cursor), ensuring AI-generated UI accelerates development while strictly adhering to system integrity and design tokens.
  • Architect LLM-optimized documentation and create structured system prompts (e.g., .cursorrules) that empower cross-functional teams to leverage AI assistants effectively and on-brand.
  • Ensure the system meets strict enterprise standards, including accessibility (WCAG 2.1 , ARIA), security needs, internationalization (I18N), and localization (L10N).
  • Conduct regular audits to identify inconsistencies and introduce strategies to measure adoption and usage.
  • Act as a design systems evangelist, driving education and alignment through documentation, onboarding, and cross-functional communication.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to other members of the design team.
