Design Technology Manager

Woolworths Group

This role is for a Senior Design Technologist who will bridge the gap between design and engineering to improve product development. The position involves shaping the company's enterprise design system, creating tools to help designers, exploring AI-driven patterns, and establishing best practices for efficiency and quality. The day-to-day will include leading the transition to new component systems, developing custom tooling like Figma plugins, and prototyping new design patterns using AI and accessibility principles. You'll also evaluate and integrate AI tools into production workflows and collaborate closely with engineering teams on component architecture. Mentoring team members and promoting design-technology standards across the organization will also be key. To be successful, you'll need proven experience at the intersection of design and engineering, with a strong background in shipping code and building internal design tools. Expertise in Figma, including component architecture and plugin development, is essential, as is a solid understanding of React, JavaScript, and mobile development. Experience scaling design systems and knowledge of web accessibility standards are also important. If you're looking to blend your design and technical skills in a dynamic environment, this could be a great fit.
