• Participate in audits and analysis of existing experiences to identify opportunities for systemization and reuse.
• Leverage AI-powered tools to support the creation, documentation, and iteration of design system assets.
• Participate in design critiques, system reviews, and cross-team collaboration rituals to continuously improve the system.
• Support design QA and ensure design system standards are upheld during development.
