About the Role:

As a Senior Design Engineer, you'll occupy the space where design systems, front-end architecture, and AI-augmented workflows converge. You bring an engineering background that shapes how you design—not just what you produce—and your decisions account for implementation tradeoffs before a handoff ever happens.

We're looking for someone who thinks in systems first, operates confidently across levels of abstraction, and is already using AI tooling as a real part of how they work. You're not waiting to see where things are headed, you're already there, refining the workflow as you go.

Core Responsibilities Include:

• Technical Impact: 
  • Designing and engineering component libraries and design systems where token architecture, file structure, and component behavior map directly to what engineering builds and ships.
  • Owning the Figma layer of the system: variables, component architecture, auto layout, and documentation structured for real developer handoff — not just visual reference.
  • Integrating AI-assisted tooling (Claude Code, Figma MCP, agentic workflows) into design and delivery processes, actively improving how the team works rather than experimenting in isolation.
  • Identifying and communicating implementation tradeoffs at the design stage, so engineering receives decisions that have already accounted for feasibility, performance, and maintainability.
  • Moving fluidly between product architecture conversations and single-interaction design decisions, keeping both levels coherent within the same engagement.
• Business Alignment: 
  • Partnering with product design and engineering leadership to align system-level design decisions with long-term product architecture, reducing downstream technical debt.
  • Contributing to project estimation and scoping with a realistic model of design-to-engineering effort, including the cost of ambiguity in component specs, handoff gaps, and design system divergence.
  • Bringing a clear point of view on what AI tooling means for how design teams are structured, how work is scoped, and how value is delivered to clients.
• Interacting with Others: 
  • Serving as the connective tissue between design and engineering teams, facilitating shared understanding of constraints, conventions, and system decisions.
  • Mentoring product designers on systems thinking, Figma architecture, and engineering-informed design, translating technical depth into accessible guidance.
  • Communicating system decisions and tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders, framing complexity in terms of user and business outcomes.
• Autonomy & Ambiguity: 
  • Taking ownership of design system strategy and component library decisions, driving toward coherence even when project pressures push toward one-offs.
  • Navigating fast-moving AI tooling with a grounded and critical perspective — knowing when to adopt, when to adapt, and when to hold the line on craft.
• Problem-Solving:
  • Proactively identifying where design and engineering are drifting apart and proposing structural fixes—in the system, the process, or the handoff—before they become delivery problems.
  • Recognizing when a design decision has downstream engineering implications and raising it early, rather than leaving it to be discovered in implementation.
• Leadership:
  • Advancing the team's collective understanding of AI's role in design practice, not as a novelty, but as a genuine shift in how designers think, collaborate, and ship.
  • Advocating for systems-first design culture, helping the broader design practice build habits and tooling that scale beyond individual projects.

Intimate, Working Familiarity With:

• Figma at an advanced level: variables, component architecture, design tokens, file organization that mirrors engineering structure, and developer handoff tooling.
• Design token systems and their relationship to front-end implementation (CSS custom properties, style dictionaries, multi-platform theming).
• AI-assisted design and development tools in active use: Claude Code, Figma MCP, agentic workflow tooling.
• Front-end development fundamentals: HTML, CSS, and at a minimum a working literacy in a component-based framework (React, React Native, Flutter, or equivalent).
• Collaboration with engineering teams in an agile delivery environment, including experience contributing to or reviewing component libraries in code.
• Accessibility standards as a system-level concern, not a checklist applied at the end.

General Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience spanning product design and front-end engineering, with a portfolio that demonstrates both.
• Demonstrable experience building or maintaining design systems at scale, with evidence of how the system connects to engineering output.
• Degree in design, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated experience.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience contributing to open-source design systems or component libraries.
• Familiarity with tokens-as-code tooling: Style Dictionary, Theo, or equivalent.
• Background in retail, e-commerce, loyalty, or other high-complexity consumer product contexts.
• Experience with motion design defined at the system level (easing curves, duration scales, transition tokens).

• Work independently with developers and product managers to ensure the successful implementation of design solutions, providing guidance and support throughout the development process.

What you'll bring to the role:

Why job seekers choose Geotab:

This is not a role for someone who wants to run the show. It's a role for someone who wants to make the show undeniably better.

The Creative Collective is a small, high-conviction team built around one standard: commit fully or not at all. We move fast, debate hard, and once a call is made, we stand behind it together. The ECD sets the vision. Your job is to be the closest thing to that vision in execution — the creative right hand who makes it real.

You will lead a team of four designers — two Art Directors and two specialist designers — not by controlling their creative, but by raising it. One Art Director owns brand creative and the other owns social creative. They're good at what they do and that doesn't change when you walk in. Your authority comes from your output, your ideas and your ability to make the people around you sharper.

At the same time, you are an elite executor. You design, animate, edit, create merch or even build in 3D. Whatever the project demands you have enough in your bag to be dangerous. You concept at a strategic level and then drop into the tools and make it. You are the bridge between the ECD's vision and what the team ships — and you close that gap by doing the work yourself as much as by directing others.

If you've spent your career being the best creative in every room you've been in and you're ready to be that for a team — this is it.

How We Work

Lead with conviction — Be Iverson

Bring work you believe in and have a strong POV. Authenticity matters more than the idea itself. If the idea could live with another brand's logo on it, it doesn't belong here. We'd rather refine a bold idea than try to save a safe one.

↳  Not: "This is just an option" or over-explaining to compensate for weak belief

Sharpen each other — Be Pharrell

Value direct feedback and be comfortable in conflict. Debate makes the work better. Once a call is made, we move together. Mediocre work is a collective failure, not an individual one.

↳  Not: Silent agreement followed by side conversations or ego-driven critique

Execute under pressure — Be Jordan

The standard does not change when the moment does. We move with precision and continually refine our judgment. Practice or clutch time, you show up with the same intensity.

↳  Not: "We didn't have time" or by overcomplicating simple calls

Show up fully — Be Virgil

Show up wherever you are needed, whenever you are needed, without hesitation. Not for credit — for the outcome. It's not about doing everything. It's about doing what's required to make it right.

↳  Not: "That's not my job" or trying to protect your role over protecting the work

What you’ll do:

Be the ECD's creative right hand

• Partner directly with the ECD on ideation, concepting, and creative strategy — the thinking partner who helps turn vision into direction
• Bring wild, well-reasoned ideas to the table and have the skills to execute them yourself
• Represent the ECD's creative standards across every project and every channel
• Help push the brand into cultural moments, campaigns, and big swings that feel undeniably PrizePicks

Lead the design team through craft, not authority

• Directly manage two Art Directors (Brand and Social) and two specialist designers
• Protect and reinforce what George and Brandon own — your role is to elevate their work, not redirect it
• Coach through doing: show better work, not just describe it
• Create an environment where the team produces the best creative of their careers
• Provide direct, actionable feedback that makes the work better every single time

Execute at an elite level across every medium

• Design campaign assets from brief to final — digital, social, OOH, CRM, product touchpoints
• Animate TV spots, social content and create motion systems from scratch (Not An Option)
• Build 3D assets — Blender proficiency strongly preferred
• Concept and write alongside copy when the brief demands it — scripts, taglines, platforms
• Own the two-minute drill — real-time cultural moments demand sharper judgment, not lower standards

Stay locked into culture, sports, and performance

• Be chronically online and tapped into sports, culture, and the internet before it hits the mainstream
• Bring elite ball knower energy — you understand the moments, the players, the narratives, and why real fans care
• Build creative that performs — you understand paid social, know what a winning asset looks like, and never mistake beautiful for effective
• Contribute to performance creative strategy alongside Acquisition and Product Marketing

Push what's possible

• Bring new tools, formats and technologies into the workflow.
• Experiment constantly.
• Drive trends, don’t follow them

Who You Are:

• A maker first — you'd rather build it than brief it out and your output proves it
• Fast — What agencies do in weeks you can do in days if not hours.
• Multi-disciplinary to a rare degree — genuinely elite across design, motion, 3D and concepting
• A player-coach — you lead by doing, not by delegating and the team gets better because they watch you work
• Low ego about ownership — Team wins are your wins. You protect swim lanes and make them bigger
• A strategic thinker who doesn't hide behind strategy — you can go from big idea to finished asset without losing the thread
• Chronically online — you live where culture lives, not where it lands after the fact
• An elite ball knower — sports isn't a vertical to you, it's a language you speak fluently
• Performance-aware — great creative has to do something, not just look good
• A force multiplier — your presence makes everyone around you sharper without making it about you

What you have:

Qualifications:

• 8–12+ years of creative execution experience in a high-performance in-house or agency environment
• Experience managing or mentoring creative talent — you've made other people better
• Portfolio that demonstrates genuine range: campaign-level thinking, high-end visual design, motion, and 3D
• Expert-level in Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects — these are table stakes
• Blender proficiency — strongly preferred, not optional if you want to stand out
• Fluency in performance creative — you know what a winning paid social asset looks like and why it converts
• Deep understanding of sports and culture — NBA, NFL, and beyond. You know the storylines before the brief is written
• Experience in sports, gaming, or entertainment/culture — you already speak our language
• Ability to concept, pitch, write and execute at an elite level across every stage of a project

Bonus Points

• Experience with AI-driven creative tools and workflows
• Video editing and social-first content production
• Background working with talent, creators, or production teams
• Experience building or evolving brand systems at scale

What Success Looks Like

In 90 days, you've shipped work that makes people stop scrolling. The team feel supported, not second-guessed — swim lanes are intact and their work is better. The ECD has a creative partner who thinks at the same level and executes bar for bar with him.

In six months, there's a body of work with your fingerprints on it that has genuinely moved PrizePicks forward. The team is producing more, at a higher level, because you're in the room.

In a year, you're the reason we didn't need an agency.

Where you’ll live:

• While we prefer candidates based in Atlanta, we are open to qualified applicants from anywhere in the U.S. and are willing to consider remote candidates. #LI-Remote 

Working at PrizePicks:

The typical salary range for this position is $125,000 to $135,000. At PrizePicks, we consider your role, level, and where you'll be working when determining our salary ranges. The compensation info you see on our job postings gives you an idea of the starting pay range for the position. Your actual pay within that range will depend on your specific work location, as well as your skills, experience, and education. Your recruiter will be happy to chat more about the specific pay range for your location and how we arrived at it during the hiring process. 

This application period will remain open for 30 days. We’re committed to finding the best candidate, so this date may be adjusted, and any changes will be reflected in this posting.
