What you'll do

At Miro, you’ll step into a Staff Design Engineer, Design Systems role where you raise the quality bar for the design system. You won’t just define what great looks like; you’ll turn that judgment into clear rules, patterns, and examples that designers and AI-assisted contributors can actually use. This is a design-first role with code as a strong sidekick: you’ll prototype ideas, test whether they feel right, and partner with engineering to build guardrails that keep AI-generated UI sharp and consistent. You’ll think in motion, spacing, presence, and timing, helping the canvas stay alive, fast, and unmistakably Miro.

Tasks

  •   Hold and raise the quality bar for the design system
  •   Translate interaction patterns, hierarchy rules, and spacing into clear guardrails
  •   Work with engineering to keep AI-generated UI consistent
  •   Apply token thinking to motion, easing, and spatial transitions
  •   Design multiplayer states like presence and cursors
  •   Document patterns, guidelines, and examples
  •   Build prototypes to test ideas quickly

That makes this a place where you can have real impact on a product used by teams all over the world.

  •   Wellbeing benefit for extra support

  •   Comfortable with code to prototype and validate ideas
