5+ years of product design experience, with significant time spent on or leading a design system.
Deep Figma expertise: variables, auto-layout, component architecture, and multi-mode tokens.
Strong understanding of design tokens, naming conventions, theming, and how tokens translate to CSS or design-to-code pipelines.
Experience working across multiple product teams and building systems that designers actually want to use.
Requirements:
Lead the evolution of Hostinger’s design system—architecture, component library, token structure, documentation, and governance.
Partner with product teams to ensure the system serves real design needs across domains (Domain, WebPro, Reach, Website Builder, etc.).
Define and maintain design tokens across themes, breakpoints, and platforms.
Drive adoption across the design guild—run critiques, write contribution guidelines, and enable designers to contribute effectively.
Job description
Design systems work is often treated as maintenance. At Hostinger, it’s a product in its own right.
We’re scaling fast- 4M+ clients, 150 countries, multiple product teams shipping in parallel. Our design system needs to grow with us: more consistent, more flexible, more ready for AI-assisted workflows. You’ll own that evolution from the ground up.
This is a solo ownership role. You won’t be one of five people on a DS team- you’ll be the person. That means real authority, real impact, and the need for someone who can operate independently, earn trust across teams, and make good decisions without a lot of hand-holding.
What You’ll Own
Lead the evolution of Hostinger’s design system- architecture, component library, token structure, documentation, and governance.
Partner with every product team (Domain, WebPro, Reach, Website builder and more) to ensure the system serves real design needs, not just theoretical ones.
Define and maintain design tokens across themes, breakpoints, and platforms.
Drive adoption across the design guild- run critiques, write contribution guidelines, and make it easy for other designers to do the right thing.
Use AI tools to accelerate system work: generating variants, stress-testing components, identifying inconsistencies at scale.
Work closely with engineers to ensure Figma components map cleanly to code- you understand handoff deeply and can speak both languages.
Track and communicate system health: coverage, adoption, debt, and impact.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of product design experience, with significant time spent on or leading a design system.
Deep Figma expertise: variables, auto-layout, component architecture, multi-mode tokens - you know the tool’s limits and how to work around them.
Strong understanding of design tokens: naming conventions, theming, and how tokens translate to CSS custom properties or design-to-code pipelines.
Experience working across multiple product teams and building systems that designers actually want to use.
Comfortable working solo with high ownership- you don’t need a team around you to make progress, but you know when to ask for input.
Familiarity with AI tools and how they fit into a modern design workflow.
Strong communicator: you can sell a system decision to a skeptical PM and explain a token structure to an engineer in the same afternoon.
A portfolio with clear examples of design system work- show us the before/after, the decisions, and the adoption story.
What We Offer
Gross salary: 4,470 – 6,500 EUR/month depending on experience.
Solo ownership of a system that touches every product surface at Hostinger.
Access to Reforge, Coach Hub, global conferences, and physical/digital libraries.
Hybrid flexibility- modern offices in Vilnius and Kaunas, or work from anywhere.
Health insurance from Day 1, gym memberships, Headspace, recharge leave.
Internal mobility and mentoring through TesoXchange.
Company events: Summerfest, Winterfest, workations, and more.
Žalgiris Arena VIP Lounge access + milestone gifts for life’s big moments.
How to Apply
Submit your portfolio with your application. We want to see real design system work- not just pretty components, but the thinking, the tradeoffs, and what changed because of your work. Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed.
