The Role

We’re looking for a strategic, craft-obsessed, and highly collaborative Head of Brand Design to lead and scale Hex’s brand as we build a generational company in the data and analytics space. Design matters deeply at Hex. We’ve built a strong brand foundation over the past few years. It’s cohesive, respected, and has range. But we’re not iconic yet. The opportunity is to take what exists and push it into something truly distinctive.

This role sits at the intersection of brand, product, and go-to-market. You’ll own and define the long-term brand vision at Hex across all touch points. You will be an integral voice in an innovative and forward-looking design culture where creative excellence is valued at the highest levels of leadership.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll set the direction and raise the bar, while empowering a growing team to ship work they are proud of.

About the role

Hex is looking for a thoughtful, systems-minded Design Engineer to lead and own the next evolution of our product design system (named Spellbook). This role sits within the Design org and partners closely with Product Engineering to build a cohesive, scalable, and high-quality UI foundation.

You will architect, implement, and maintain the primitives that power Hex’s product. This includes components, tokens, documentation, accessibility standards, and advanced interaction patterns. You’ll work closely with designers and engineers to ensure our product experience is crafted with care, consistency, and long-term maintainability in mind.

• Own and lead the design system. Define the roadmap, establish component standards, improve system ergonomics, and shepherd contributions across teams. You’ll be the point person for how our atoms and molecules get built.
• Build for scale and quality. Translate design patterns into robust, accessible components. Develop and maintain tokens, documentation, and tooling to ensure adoption and ease of use.
• Raise the bar through collaboration. Partner deeply with designers and engineers to improve UI quality, visual polish, and cross-product consistency. This includes advocating, educating, and teaching across the org on best practices.
• Prototype and explore. Create prototypes that demonstrate advanced interactions, help validate UX patterns, and influence product direction.

About you

You would be a great fit if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in front-end engineering or design engineering, ideally on a product or design system team
• A strong eye for design, with deep care for layout, motion, affordances, and visual polish
• Expertise in modern front-end technologies, especially Typescript, React, component-driven architectures, and accessibility best practices
• Experience building or maintaining design systems, tokens, components, documentation, governance models
• A portfolio showing UI engineering craft, component thinking, and prototyping ability
• A systems mindset: you think in primitives and abstractions, not one-off solutions
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate rationale and influence cross-functionally
• A collaborative, open-minded approach and comfort working with partners across levels
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality, without losing momentum
• Bonus: experience going deep on major and minor frontend performance problems
