• Design Systems: Experience working with design systems and component libraries at scale. You understand how to maintain integrity while moving fast.
• A/B Testing & Performance Iteration: Experience testing creative variants, reading results, and iterating. You're curious about what makes work perform, not just what makes it look good.

• Attention to Detail: Exceptional QA habits and a meticulous approach to typography, color, and layout.
• Communication & Self-Direction: Strong verbal and written communication. Able to articulate design decisions clearly and operate with limited oversight.
