Design System Website UX: Contribute to user experience and content structure of the Parula design system website; ensure standards and guidance are discoverable, consistent, and accessible.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with teams contributing to front-end frameworks, icons and graphics, design tokens, accessibility, and brand/marketing to ensure system-wide alignment and high-quality delivery.
Qualifications
- STEM Degree (e.g., Engineering,Learning Technology, Cognitive Sciences, Human Computer Interaction, or other relevant degree)
Proficiency with Figma or similar design tools (e.g. Adobe Creative Cloud, Sketch), including library management, auto layout, components, and variables
Strong organizational, communication, and documentation skills
Understanding of design systems, component-driven design, and accessibility fundamentals
Experience contributing to or managing design system websites a plus (e.g., WordPress, Storybook, Zeroheight)
Experience with basic development, automation flows, and AI prompt development a plus
Experience (especially administrative) in productivity tools such as Jira, Confluence, and SharePoint a plus
Required Qualifications
