Transformer Design Engineer Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Design Technologist who operates at the intersection of design, engineering, and emerging AI capabilities. This role is responsible for translating design intent into scalable, system‑driven UI while also identifying how AI can augment, accelerate, and transform design system workflows.

As a Senior Design Technologist, Design Systems, you are a member of the world‑class CNN Digital Product Design Team. You build and maintain design systems, apply AI across design and development, and collaborate with product, engineering, research, editorial, analytics, content strategy, and other designers to build reusable libraries that support speed and innovation.

• AI integration in design workflows.
• Bridge design, engineering, and AI.
• Help teams understand feasibility, constraints, and ethical considerations of AI‑powered features.
• Advocate for high‑quality UX in AI‑assisted or AI‑generated interfaces.
• Identify and implement opportunities to integrate AI into design system workflows, such as generating or maintaining design tokens programmatically, automating component creation, documentation, or testing; assisting with layout generation, content population, or variant exploration; ensuring design system artifacts are consumable by AI models; and collaborating with data/ML teams when needed.
• Design system engineering: Build and maintain scalable, reusable UI components aligned with design tokens and system architecture; ensure consistency between design artifacts and production code; contribute to system documentation, usage guidelines, and governance models; partner with engineering to ensure performant, accessible implementations; enable and empower feature teams to collaborate and contribute to design system enhancements.
• Tooling & workflow innovation: Develop internal tools, scripts, plugins, or pipelines to improve efficiency across design and engineering; optimize design‑to‑code workflows using automation and AI augmentation; contribute to experimentation frameworks that enable rapid testing of new ideas.
• Quality, accessibility & responsible AI: Ensure pixel accuracy, responsiveness, and performance across UI implementations; champion accessibility (WCAG) and inclusive design practices; advocate for responsible AI usage, including transparency, bias mitigation, and user trust; conduct audits of both UI quality and AI‑assisted outputs.

• 6+ years in a relevant role such as design technologist, UX/UI engineer, or product designer.
• Enterprise, platforms and/or internal tools experience preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to incorporate AI into the design workflow to test ideas more efficiently and communicate solutions with greater speed and clarity.
• Expert proficiency with Figma, including variable maintenance, components, styles, and shared libraries.
• Experience creating and maintaining component libraries.
• Strong front‑end development skills in a major framework (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
• Deep understanding of design systems, component architecture, and design tokens.
• Proficiency using an IDE such as Cursor or Claude.
• Solid grounding in interaction design, visual design, and UX principles.
• Familiarity with current AI capabilities such as generative AI, LLMs, and multimodal systems.
• Understanding of prompt design, structured outputs, or API‑based AI integrations.
• Ability to evaluate AI outputs for quality, bias, and usability.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and experience collaborating with cross‑functional partners such as Engineering, Program Management, and Product Management.
