Why Join the Warner Bros. Discovery Team?

Delivering one of the largest and most iconic content libraries in streaming to millions of consumers around the globe is no easy feat. It requires high levels of collaboration, a willingness to take risks, and a passion to tackle some of the most complex design challenges. That’s why at Warner Bros. Discovery, we cultivate an environment for our employees to thrive, whether it’s designing all our tech from scratch to continuously innovate, working at the exciting pace of a startup, or utilizing our flexible working hours to enhance collaboration with teams across the world. We think big and we hire people who do the same: designers who love owning a problem and creating their own elegant solutions, and those who are willing to try, fail, learn, and try again because that’s how we truly build the future.

We try to expose early career designers to a wide range of projects, to help them get a sense for where their interests lie. We then pair them with a range of senior designers so that they can learn from a mix of experiences. Attributes we look for in all our hires across the team are ownership and leadership. Proactively taking ownership, having a bias for action, curious and always asking why.

The Role

As a Senior Designer specializing in Design Systems, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining a cohesive design system that ensures consistency across our streaming apps. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and other designers, to develop and implement design standards and guidelines. You lead the creation and management of well-thought design components—adding visual nuances utilizing color, hierarchy, animation, and interaction to create thoughtful elements that can build upon each other. You understand technology and are always looking for the latest and greatest trends across all the digital products that touch your life and inspire your design choices. You enjoy the challenge of making everything that comes from your hands to be beautiful and inspiring.

Job Responsibilities

+ Develop and maintain a comprehensive design system, including UI components, patterns, fundamentals, and documentation.

+ Collaborate with product teams to ensure the design system meets the needs of various projects and platforms.

+ Conduct user research and usability testing to inform design decisions and improve the design system.

+ Mentor and provide guidance to designers on best practices and design principles.

+ Work closely with engineers to ensure the design system is implemented accurately and efficiently.

+ Stay up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies to continuously improve the design system.

Qualifications

+ 5+ years of experience in UI/UX design, with a focus on design systems, 1+ for globally renowned brands.

+ Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and prototyping tools.

+ Strong understanding of front-end development and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams.

+ Excellent communication and presentation skills.

+ Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

+ Knowledge of accessibility standards and best practices.

+ Experience creating and evolving a design system for multiple platforms

+ In-house is preferable but we will consider the right candidates coming from the agency side.

+ Portfolio of visually stunning original and breakthrough work with demonstrated documentation of those experiences. Strong focus on interaction design and an understanding that UX and UI are two sides of the same coin.

+ Strong understanding of the latest developments in digital technology, responsive/adaptive web design, prototyping, native apps, and emerging platforms.

+ Knowledge of modern product design best practices, such as agile development and lean design methodologies. Experience that shows being a strong problem-solver, storyteller and design facilitator.
