Lead Product Designer - Design System

<p><strong>About us:</strong></p> <p>We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins.</p> <p>Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement.</p> <p>We’re building stablecoin-native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd.</p> <p>Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital. </p> <p>We’re a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.</p> <p>In 2025, we secured strategic investment from Visa, following our $50 million Series B with Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. With the backing of these leading investors, we’re accelerating our growth – and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the future of financial services.</p> <p>We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces three years running (most recently in 2025) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.</p> <p><strong>About this role in the team:</strong></p> <p>Design at BVNK is split into two areas — Customer Value Stream and Core Platform. The design system serves both, along with front-end, backend, and the PMs prototyping with it. We're hiring a <strong>Lead Product Designer </strong>to own it.</p> <p>The system already works. It's built on atomic principles, with React components, Storybook examples, and usage guidance in Zeroheight. The job is to tighten the patterns, improve the documentation, and enable cohesive builds for people who don't need to know what a design system is,  including the growing number of designers and PMs building directly in repos with Claude. Designing a system that AI can consume cleanly, so generated work lands close to production instead of drifting, is a meaningful part of this.</p> <p>You'll sit in the Core Platform pod and report to the Head of Design, pairing with Principal Designer - Core Platform and Principal Front-end engineers on the strategic direction of the system. The system supports around fifty people across design, front-end, backend, and product. </p> <p>The work is to scale the system and advocate for it across the org as the consumer base grows.</p> <h4><strong>Key Areas of Responsibilities:</strong
