The role:
SoFi’s Creative Studio is looking for a forward-thinking Design Systems + AI Workflow Specialist to bridge the gap between traditional production, advanced AI tools, and design systems.

- AI-Driven Asset Generation: Leverage Figma Weave and Figma Motion to generate, iterate, and animate visual assets at scale for our centralized image library.
- Creative Collaboration: Partner closely with Art Directors and Interactive Designers to rapidly prototype visual concepts and translate creative direction into production-ready assets.
- Workflow Optimization: Experiment with enterprise-approved generative AI tools and plugins to streamline the asset pipeline and eliminate repetitive design tasks.
- Brand & Quality Alignment: Maintain visual consistency and adhere to brand guidelines across all systematically generated deliverables.
What you’ll need:
- Experience Level: 4+ years of relevant experience in design systems, system architecture, or digital asset creation within an agency or in-house studio setting.
- Strong product design foundation — understands UX/UI, interaction patterns, accessibility, responsive systems, and how systems function across complex digital products.

- AI Tool Integration: Proven experience using generative design tools, specifically Figma Weave, Figma Motion, and Figma Agents (or equivalent AI design assistants).
- Systemic Thinking: A strong understanding of design systems and how to scale visual assets systematically.
- Collaborative Mindset: Ability to take creative direction from Art Directors and execute it with high technical precision in a fast-paced environment.
- Portfolio Proof: A portfolio showcasing visual asset generation, motion/interactive elements, and clean, organized Figma file structures.
Nice to have:
- Background in product design.
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including After Effects for motion graphics or Substance for 3D asset creation.
