Design System Specialist

Who are we?

At Flying Bisons, we’re building Europe’s leading Strategic Design & Implementation consultancy — delivering the quality, rigor, and impact you’d expect from top-tier consulting firms, but fully specialized in digital products and transformation. With a rapidly growing presence in the Middle East, we partner with enterprises and governments on their most high-stakes initiatives, shaping platforms and services used by tens of millions of people.

Our work directly influences how millions of people around the globe live, work, and interact with digital services. 

• Public Platforms — defining how 15+ million citizens and 1+ million businesses interact with the labor market in Saudi Arabia.

• Banking & Finance — building digital platforms for the largest banks in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

• Telecommunications — shaping customer experiences for telcos with a combined 150+ million subscribers.

• Education — working with the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia, the largest ministry in the country, on its digital transformation.

• Media — partnering with leading media platforms in Poland and Europe with a total reach of tens of millions.

• Consumer & Retail — from KFC and Hebe to NaTemat and Enel-Med, creating products used daily by millions.

Our uniqueness comes from going beyond design craft. As we wrote in our manifestos — Strategic Design - Manifest and Strategic Design - The Future of Design — design craft is only 10% of success. The other 90% — the Invisible 90% — is about navigating politics, aligning stakeholders, and protecting fragile visions until they reach reality.

That’s why we’re building the discipline of Strategic Design — and we want you to be part of it.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Design System Specialist to own DS work end-to-end: from token architecture and component design, through documentation and handoff, to iterating the system based on product and developer feedback. You’ll work independently across client projects in an agency environment.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain production-grade component libraries and token structures.

• Architect token systems: primitive → semantic → component layers.

• Manage multi-file Figma libraries, modes (light/dark, themes), and library versioning.

• Lead design-to-dev handoff: specs, interaction notes, tokens mapped to code variables.

• Maintain and evolve DS documentation (Zeroheight, Confluence or equivalent).

• Conduct audits of existing systems and propose concrete improvements.

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of hands-on DS work in a commercial or agency setting.

• Expert Figma skills: multi-file libraries, Figma Variables with modes, component architecture at scale.

• Solid command of design token architecture - you can build and explain primitive/semantic/component layers.

• Practical HTML/CSS knowledge - you understand how a token maps to code and can spot handoff issues.

• Accessibility in practice: WCAG AA implementation in components, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels.

• Experience with documentation tools (Zeroheight, Storybook or equivalent).

• English C1 - client-facing documentation and communication.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Tokens Studio or a design-to-code token pipeline.

• Storybook familiarity or ability to read JS/React component code.

• Multi-brand or white-label DS experience.
