User Interface Designer /Figma Expert

Are you a UI specialist? Do you love making components and being interaction focused? Are looking to specialise in a career in UI design?

We’re looking for someone with a passion for creating great, intuitive user interface components to work within our design systems team. As part of the design system team, you will work with other UI designers to help maintain, create, and organise new components into our design libraries.
