About this role

Avantos is hiring for a Principal Designer role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of product design experience, with craft leadership that reaches beyond your own projects; you've moved the bar at a company, not just shipped strong individual work
  • Deep expertise in product design fundamentals: interaction, information architecture, visual craft, and the systems thinking that turns a component library into a governing design system
  • A track record of authoring design systems, tenets, or patterns that other designers adopted and built on
  • Mastery of Figma and the judgment to evolve a design system as a living set of patterns, not a frozen kit
  • Fluency prototyping in whatever medium fits the question, increasingly in code and with AI rather than only in a design tool
  • A genuine curiosity, bordering on obsession, about how AI is changing the nature of design, software, and how teams work
  • Comfort operating as a senior IC and craft anchor without needing a manager title; this role leads through craft and the system, not through reports
  • Fluency in B2B SaaS or fintech complexity; financial services experience is welcome but not required
