Job Description:
Ever worked on a product where the requirements were dictated to you by stakeholders? Not at Pluralsight. We believe in Human-Centered Design, empowered teams, and the customer breaking the tie. Which means you will be working on a cross-functional team who all share the same focus: learning from our customers and using that knowledge to decide what problems to solve and how to solve them. This is why we look for practitioners who are passionate about understanding people, committed to lifelong learning, and are driven by the love of what they do.
As a Platform UI team, we explore and solve problems at the intersection of design and development. We support design systems, UI development, accessibility, browser performance, and mobile web. As a Platform UI teammate, you will provide shared UI and UX assets in the Pluralsight Design System system which is used across the Pluralsight family of products. Through the value of shared UI/UX, you will increase the usability of our products for our end-users. You will support 40+ cross-functional teams at Pluralsight, improving work efficiency and end-product quality.
Who you're committed to being:

• Entrepreneurial - we discover high-value things that need done and do them; empower ourselves even in the absence of guidance; can work without a project manager
• Communicator - articulate; a great storyteller; have the heart of a teacher
• Thought leader - contribute to interdisciplinary thinking; are a go-to authority among industry colleagues and peers
• Collaborative - we give and take feedback well; determine priorities and solutions together
• Inspired - we are enthused by the charter of the team and seek to contribute to its success
• Explorative - we try new things; track the state of the art; are self-motivated to try new experiments
• Distributed - we are comfortable building long-distance relationships with distributed team members; are a proactive team member

• Advocate for accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
• Create and articulate a compelling vision of the Design System for the next 3-5 years.

• Experience with design systems and strong system-level thinking.
• Proven ability to lead design strategy and execution.
• Solid understanding of accessibility standards and practices.
