Design Systems Product Designer

We're looking for a senior Product Designer to help set the vision and strategic direction for Instagram Design Systems — the system that ensures craft scales with Instagram. Our system is the connective tissue that ensures quality across every surface. This role sits at the intersection of design craft, systems architecture, platform engineering, and AI-native tooling. You'll drive the strategic direction of how Instagram's design system evolves — identifying new opportunities, shaping the roadmap, and driving initiatives from vision through execution across component design, documentation, and AI knowledge layers. The work spans component libraries, spec-to-code alignment, design tooling, and cross-platform standards (iOS, Android, iPad, foldables) — requiring someone who can set direction for systematic quality end-to-end while navigating the organizational and technical complexity of shipping at Instagram's scale. You'll be a recognized leader not just within design, but across the product group — driving execution, culture, and process on a cross-functional team of designers, engineers, and product managers. You'll influence product design teams across Instagram to drive adoption, shape what's on-system vs. bespoke, and ensure the system flexes to serve both today's UI patterns and tomorrow's AI-generated experiences. The ideal candidate has deep systems thinking, exceptional craft sensibilities, a strong point of view on scalable design architecture, and the ability to identify new opportunities, influence senior stakeholders, and drive initiatives that wouldn't happen without them.
