About the role:
As a Product Designer on the Design Systems team at Samsara, you will play a key role in maintaining, evolving, and improving the design system (Kit) that powers Samsara’s web and mobile experiences.

Minimum requirements for the role:
- 4+ years of experience in product design, with at least 2 years working with a design system (either as a contributor or dedicated role).

- Fluent in Figma, including component libraries, tokens, auto-layout, and prototyping.
- Experience collaborating closely with engineers, ensuring high-quality handoffs and implementation.
- A portfolio showcasing design system contributions, component work, and impact on team efficiency or product quality.
