Oura is looking for an exceptional and experienced Staff Product Designer, Design Systems to help lead the vision, architecture, and long-term evolution of our design system.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Design leadership to enable feature teams with the tools, patterns, and guidance they need to build consistent, efficient, and delightful user experiences.

What you will do:

• Own the strategy, architecture, and long-term evolution for critical parts of Oura’s design system, including component frameworks, interaction patterns, and visual foundations.
  
  
• Help drive direction for our system evolution, bridging the gap between design and code and leaning into new AI workflows.
• Partner with engineering to establish scalable, production-ready system foundations focused on native platforms.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to design and product leadership on system-level decisions, patterns, and tradeoffs.
• Set standards for governance, contribution models, and adoption, ensuring system quality and consistency across teams.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to improve governance, system performance, accessibility, and developer/design efficiency.
• Evolve core foundations for typography, color, and spacing with optional focus to lean into illustration and iconography.
• Help define and refine end-to-end workflows between design and engineering, including tooling, documentation, and handoff practices.
• Coach and mentor product designers on systems thinking, raising the bar for craft and consistency across the organization.
• Evangelize design systems internally through documentation, reviews, and education, building shared understanding and trust in the system.

This is a hybrid-remote role, with the expectation to work from our San Francisco offices at least half-time.
