The designer will play a pivotal role in maintaining and evolving our component library, establishing best practices for responsive design, and ensuring our digital products adhere to WCAG accessibility standards. Additionally, the candidate will lead efforts in AI tool stewardship, training product managers in vibe-coding, and producing comprehensive developer documentation for smooth handoffs. This position offers an exciting opportunity to influence the future of digital insurance experiences through innovative design system practices and AI integration.
