Job Description

The role:

SoFi’s Creative Studio is looking for a forward-thinking Design Systems + AI Workflow Specialist to bridge the gap between traditional production, advanced AI tools, and design systems. In this role, you will directly support Art Directors and Interactive Designers by leveraging cutting-edge AI features within Figma to scale our visual libraries, automate workflows, and build out robust components. This is not a traditional production designer/ad-resizing role; it is a high-utility contractor position centered on rapid prototyping, asset generation, and systemic design. You will play a pivotal role in streamlining our asset pipeline while maintaining technical precision and visual quality across our marketing channels.

What you’ll do:

• Design System Development: Utilize Figma Agents and automated workflows to build, maintain, and expand our comprehensive design system.
• Component & Template Creation: Construct and organize scalable design templates and flexible UI components within Figma to empower interactive design teams.
• AI-Driven Asset Generation: Leverage Figma Weave and Figma Motion to generate, iterate, and animate visual assets at scale for our centralized image library.
• Creative Collaboration: Partner closely with Art Directors and Interactive Designers to rapidly prototype visual concepts and translate creative direction into production-ready assets.
• Workflow Optimization: Experiment with enterprise-approved generative AI tools and plugins to streamline the asset pipeline and eliminate repetitive design tasks.
• Brand & Quality Alignment: Maintain visual consistency and adhere to brand guidelines across all systematically generated deliverables.

What you’ll need

• Experience Level: 4+ years of relevant experience in design systems, system architecture, or digital asset creation within an agency or in-house studio setting.

• AI Tool Integration: Proven experience using generative design tools, specifically Figma Weave, Figma Motion, and Figma Agents (or equivalent AI design assistants).
• Systemic Thinking: A strong understanding of design systems and how to scale visual assets systematically.
• Collaborative Mindset: Ability to take creative direction from Art Directors and execute it with high technical precision in a fast-paced environment.
• Portfolio Proof: A portfolio showcasing visual asset generation, motion/interactive elements, and clean, organized Figma file structures.

• Background in product design.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including After Effects for motion graphics or Substance for 3D asset creation.
