Medior-/Senior Digital Designer

ABOUT THE JOB

Build in Amsterdam is looking for a Medior-/Senior Digital Designer who can split their time between leading design system work and delivering high-quality digital design for large-scale e-commerce projects. You’ll work closely with strategists, UX designers, and developers to ensure our designs scale efficiently, stay on brand, and perform beautifully across platforms.

This role is as much about shaping the way we design as it is about creating exceptional interfaces. You will champion design systems that make our work faster, more consistent, and easier to implement.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design Systems

1. Design and maintain scalable UI components and patterns within a cross-platform design system.
2. Define components, tokens, and usage guidelines that work seamlessly with development workflows.
3. Collaborate with developers to ensure smooth implementation and consistent quality.
4. Contribute to onboarding, documentation, and visual standards that help teams apply the system confidently.
5. Continuously evolve the system based on stakeholder feedback, accessibility standards, and design trends.
6. Educate teams and clients on the value of system-driven design through presentations, workshops, and practical guidance.

Digital Design

1. Translate strategy, UX, and brand into visually compelling interfaces with attention to detail, motion, and clarity.
2. Design high-quality digital experiences for flagship e-commerce projects, from initial concepts to polished UI.
3. Bring fresh ideas and cross-industry inspiration to elevate visual design and system thinking.
4. Collaborate with UX, brand, and development teams to bring designs to life.
5. Ensure pixel-perfect delivery with detailed specs, prototypes, and a strong eye for craft.
6. Be comfortable contributing to product design work for e-commerce platforms when needed, from refining flows to shaping user interactions.
7. Occasionally work on interactive landing pages and campaign experiences, bringing brand stories to life beyond standard e-commerce UI.

IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF YOU HAVE

1. 4–6+ years of experience in digital design, ideally within e-commerce or product design.
2. A proven track record of creating and managing design systems for large-scale digital products.
3. Strong skills in Figma, including components, variants, auto-layout, and documentation workflows.
4. Understanding of development handoff processes and tools.
5. Excellent communication skills — able to clearly explain design rationale to clients and teammates.
6. Proficient in written and spoken English.
7. Comfortable working in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

Bonus: experience with builder.io or similar tools that facilitate automated design-to-development workflows.
