Senior Product Designer, Design Systems

Details

Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster by building performance and error monitoring tools. The company embraces a hybrid work model across global hubs, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays as in-office anchor days. This role is focused on owning and evolving Sentry's design system (Scraps): the shared components, patterns, and guidelines that keep the product consistent, accessible, and efficient to build.

Responsibilities

• Own the component libraries, variables, and styles that define Sentry's design language — keeping them accurate, well-documented, and in sync with what's built in code.
• Partner directly with design engineers to spec new components, refine existing ones, and ensure design intent translates cleanly into implementation.
• Audit the product for pattern inconsistencies and drive consolidation — defining clear guidance for when to use what.
• Create and maintain documentation, usage guidelines, and Storybook stories that help designers and engineers use the system correctly.
• Build shared tools like lint rules, templates, and contribution workflows that scale consistency without slowing teams down.
• Advocate for the design system across product teams — fielding questions, reviewing component usage, and coaching designers on best practices.

Requirements

• 5+ years designing complex software products, with meaningful experience on a design systems team at comparable scale.
• Deep fluency with Figma's design systems tooling: components, variants, variables, auto layout, shared libraries, and branching workflows.
• Strong visual and interaction design skills with a sharp eye for spacing, hierarchy, and micro-interactions.
• Experience collaborating closely with frontend engineers on component implementation — able to speak to props, states, and edge cases.
• Comfortable creating and maintaining design documentation, usage guidelines, and contribution processes.
• Able to balance long-term system thinking with the practical needs of product teams shipping on tight timelines.
• Bonus: hands-on experience with HTML/CSS, React, or Storybook; contributions to open-source design systems.

The base salary range Sentry reasonably expects to pay for this position is $170,000 – $200,000.

Eligible candidates will be able to participate in Sentry’s employee benefit plans/programs applicable to the position (including incentive compensation, equity grants, paid time off, and group health insurance coverage).
