You’ll have massive ownership, shape how we build product across the org, and leave a legacy in how we approach design quality at scale.\nYou won’t just be contributing to a system.\nYou’ll be engineering the product underneath the product.\nWhat You’ll Do\nAs a Design System Engineer at Factorial, you’ll help define and build the next generation of our AI-native product using modern AI development practices.\nYou will:\nLead and scale our design system across the company\nDefine the technical architecture, tooling, documentation, governance, and implementation plan. Help us rethink how design systems operate in an AI-native product development flow\n\nDesign and implement AI Skills\nBuild tools and plugins that connect Figma → code → AI-driven workflows\n\nDevelop and maintain evaluation frameworks (Evals)\nPartner with design, frontend, and product to ensure pixel-perfect execution at scale. Drive best practices around accessibility, responsiveness, and usability\n\nStay close to our customers\nWe have a strong customer-centric mindset: engineers regularly join customer calls, reviews, and feedback sessions to deeply understand real workflows, pain points, and constraints - ensuring we build the right solutions to real problems, not assumptions.\n\nShare knowledge and raise the bar\nMentor peers, document learnings, and contribute to Factorial’s AI engineering best practices.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nYour title matters less than your mindset.\nYou might be mid, senior, or staff, what we care about is:\nAI as a habit: you’ve built real AI-powered systems or workflows (not just experiments)\n\nProven impact: shipped projects, side projects, or contributions that made a measurable difference\n\nProduct-first thinking: you design complete experiences, not just isolated components\n\nSpeed & adaptability: you experiment, learn, and iterate fast\n\nBonus points if you’ve worked with:\nLLMs, skill-based agents, MCP, or other AI protocols\nTechnical Foundation (Not Strict Requirements)\nStrong candidates often have:\nDeep experience with React, TypeScript, and the modern frontend ecosystem\n\nStrong understanding of Figma, tokens, and component libraries\n\nExperience translating early concepts into production-grade design systems\n\nProduct sense - you don’t just code components, you understand why they exist\n\nBuilder mindset: you ship fast, clean, and don’t wait for perfect specs\n\nBonus if:\nYou’ve built or contributed to internal tooling, plugins, or Figma-to-code pipelines\n\nYou’ve explored ways to use AI to automate or accelerate parts of the design → dev flow\n\nYou see design systems as a strategic layer, not just a UI toolkit\n\nWe care far more about what you’ve built than the stack you used.\nHow We Work\nOffice-first in Barcelona & Madrid, with 20% remote flexibility\n\nA people-first, high-trust culture built on radical candor and ownership\n\nA multicultural team (40+ nationalities) building the next generation of business management software\n\nAbout Factorial\nFactorial is the AI for Business that knows companies, connects how work happens across the business, and turns that context into action.\nFounded in Barcelona in 2016, we now have +1,700 employees serving more than 16,000 companies across 112 countries.\nFactorial started with a simple idea: companies were spending too much time managing processes and not enough time doing the work they were hired to do: their best work.\nBut as companies grow, work gets more disconnected. More people, more tools, more information, and more time spent connecting the dots. Generic AI can answer questions, but it doesn’t know your company. Every time, you have to give it the context.\nFactorial is different. Because it’s inside the company, it already knows how it works, including its people, processes, policies, and data. So you can ask it to do real work, from screening candidates and managing expenses to answering questions and creating reports.\nAI isn’t the goal. Giving people back their time is.\nWhen work changes, so do we.\nWe believe in diverse talent: we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and strongly encourage people of diverse experiences and identities to apply.\nWe believe in inclusion: we are committed to equal opportunities and actively promote workplace inclusion of people with disabilities. If you would like to learn more about our inclusive recruitment processes, you are welcome to indicate so optionally and we will share additional information with you.\nOur Values\nWe own it: We take responsibility for every project. We make decisions, not excuses.\n\nWe learn and teach: We're dedicated to learning something new every day and, above all, share it.\n\nWe partner: Every decision is a team decision. We trust each other.\n\nWe grow fast: We act fast. We think that the worst mistake is not learning from them.\n\nWanna learn more about us? Check our website!\nPerks of being part of Factorial\nHigh growth, multicultural and friendly environment\n\nCompetitive ESOP plan\n\nAlan as private health insurance\n\nHealthy life with Wellhub (Gyms, pools, outdoor classes)\n\nSave expenses with Cobee\n\nLanguage classes\n\nBreakfast in the office and organic fruit\n\nFood discounts with Nora\n\nPet Friendly\n\nMuch more that we'll spill during the interview process!\n\nThe hiring process\nIf you apply, here’s what to expect:\nA first conversation with our Talent Acquisition Partner. It will be about comparing our expectations and making sure we match on a human level. We will also check our Engineering Rubrics (check them out, they are open!) and the salary in your position.\n\nA second conversation with the team’s Engineering Manager. This is about making sure we can work together. Here you will have a conversation about the team, their needs, your profile and how can you complement it. Expect to have a mix of a human and technical conversation.\n\nA Live Engineering Challenge with two Factorial engineers: At Factorial, we’re passionate about hiring engineers who can think clearly, communicate well, leverage the best tools, and learn very fast. In this challenge, we’re not looking for a finished product, but for how you structure problems, ask questions, use technology, and reason about solutions.\n\nOne last coffee-chat with our CTO, where you can get all the answers about Factorial’s culture, business vision, or anything else that interests you.\n\nAnd that’s it! Feel free to request any other conversation you want, with team members or to address specific concerns at any time during the process.\n\nThe whole process is remote, using videoconferencing tools!","description_format":"text","description_chars":7561,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Pet friendly"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Professional Services","Software","Payroll Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T03:51:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":72,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":0.8,"age_days":83,"expected_fill_days":567,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/factorial-design-system-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/factorial-design-system-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T19:41:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25892,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":53702},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=53702"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffactorial-design-system-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffactorial-design-system-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffactorial-design-system-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/factorial-design-system-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffactorial-design-system-engineer"}]}
