Product Designer (Design Systems)
Tabs is the leading AI-native revenue platform for modern finance and accounting teams. Tabs agents automates the entire contract-to-cash lifecycle, including billing, collections, revenue recognition, and reporting, to help teams eliminate manual work and accelerate cash flow.
High-growth companies like Cursor and Statsig rely on Tabs to generate invoices directly from contracts, reconcile payments in real time, and automate ASC 606 compliance.
Founded in 2023, Tabs has raised over $91 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Primary. The team is headquartered in New York and brings deep expertise in finance and AI.
Tabs is building its first dedicated design team and we're looking for a Designer to own our design system from the ground up. This is a foundational role: you'll define how product interfaces are built across our fintech products, partnering closely with engineering to ensure the system is implemented cleanly in code and embedded into real workflows.
Your primary user is the product team itself, designers and engineers who depend on a well-documented, consistent, and scalable system to ship good work. You'll do UI work, but in service of the system: validating components against real product surfaces, identifying gaps, and ensuring what's in Figma matches what ships in production.
What you’ll do
Own the Tabs design system end-to-end: components, patterns, tokens, and documentation
Lead token strategy: semantic structure, theming, density, and extensibility across products
Work closely with frontend engineers to ensure components are implemented accurately and the system is integrated into real development workflows
Audit existing product UI to identify inconsistencies and systematise solutions rather than one-off fixes
Define and maintain documentation standards so the system is usable without hand-holding
Validate components against real product contexts, identifying gaps and edge cases before they become production problems
Contribute to accessibility standards and encode them into the system itself, not just guidelines
Establish a contribution model so engineers and future designers can add to the system without breaking it
What we’re looking for
4+ years as a Product or UI Designer with demonstrable design systems experience
Deep Figma expertise, components, variants, auto-layout, and library management at scale
Hands-on experience building or significantly evolving a design system, not just consuming one
Strong token pipeline experience: CSS variables, semantic token architectures, and tooling like Tokens Studio
Familiarity with frontend technologies, comfortable reading component code, understanding implementation constraints, and reviewing work in Storybook or equivalent
Strong design fundamentals: visual hierarchy, interaction patterns, responsive systems, and information density
Able to work with engineers as a peer, discussing implementation tradeoffs rather than just handing over specs
Portfolio that shows systems thinking: component libraries, token structures, documentation, or contribution frameworks. Not just polished screens
Nice to have
Experience in B2B SaaS or data-heavy products where UI complexity is high
Exposure to fintech or accounting tools
Coding experience, HTML/CSS, familiarity with React component libraries, or beyond
Perks and Benefits (Full-time Employees)
