Our users plan everything from small shoots to massive festivals in 70+ countries, and they all rely on Rentman to keep their gear, people, and timing perfectly in sync. We’re based in Utrecht (NL) with a second office in Toronto (CA), and our 100+ team members work in a culture that’s open, flat, and inclusive, where curiosity drives us, ownership matters, and everyone has the freedom to challenge ideas and make an impact. Check out our public roadmap to see what’s coming next!\nMission of this role\nBring design ownership to a design system currently being built code-first: defining Rentman's visual language and building a governed, Figma-and-code-aligned component system, so product teams inherit consistent, accessible, high-craft UI instead of designing and coding each surface from scratch. You'll also be the team's visual-craft anchor: our strongest visual and UI designer, raising the craft bar on everything we ship, not just the system itself.\nWhat you'll do\nDefine Rentman's visual language (hierarchy, density, tone, when-to guidance) and document it so teams can apply it without you in the room.\n\nBuild and maintain the Figma component library to our Definition of Done: in Figma and in Storybook/Angular at parity, token-driven, documented, and passing WCAG AA.\n\nDocument the system in two layers: human guidelines and rationale, plus machine-readable usage rules that AI design and development tools can apply reliably.\n\nEstablish the patterns and templates layer for our priority flows, so teams compose instead of reinventing.\n\nRun governance: the contribution process, changelog, deprecations, and design reviews with a clear turnaround.\n\nPartner daily with our Design System Developer as a small, autonomous two-person team, and act as the design team's visual-craft anchor via crit and review, while the product teams building Rentman's software remain your most important stakeholders.\n\nWhat we are looking for\nTop-of-team UI and visual craft, backed by a strong portfolio - you'll be the most visually skilled designer on the team from day one.\n\nExpert in Figma (variants, tokens/variables, auto-layout), with real hands-on experience building a design system.\n\nWCAG AA fluency, and a genuine understanding of what makes software interfaces good, and how to build them.\n\nAn understanding of what makes a design system consumable by AI tooling: why publishing token data is the easy part, and encoding usage rules is the hard part.\n\nExperience managing multiple stakeholders (product owners, developers, designers), and a healthy relationship with critique (giving it and receiving it).\n\nNice to haves\nPrior experience as the sole or founding design owner of a design system.\n\nExperience introducing governance and contribution models for design systems, ideally in a B2B SaaS or complex, power-user product.\n\nHands-on experience shipping an agent-facing design-system surface (e.g. an MCP server, component manifest, or llms.txt-style export), or exposure to Angular front-end conventions.\n\nWhat you’ll get\nCompetitive salary based on experience, plus 8% holiday allowance\n\nA results-based bonus based on company performance (up to a full 13th month's salary)\n\n25 vacation days to recharge\n\nEarn an extra day of PTO for each year at Rentman, from your second anniversary up to five years.\n\nA 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years to go on an adventure\n\nFlexible WFH policy & work from anywhere for 4 weeks a year\n\nPension plan through BrightPensioen\n\nAn annual training budget to grow your skills\n\nAccess to OpenUp for mental well-being and personal growth\n\nYour choice of a shiny new Windows, Linux, or Mac\n\nStay active with the team: join the Rentman football team, squash and padel, plus a discounted Urban Sports membership\n\nAn OV Business card if you live more than 10km from the office\n\nAn ambitious, inclusive, and diverse international team\n\nA flexible, energizing workplace with free lunches, office perks (PS5, ping pong, D&D), legendary karaoke nights, and regular team activities\n\nAn amazing office in the heart of Utrecht, in the historic Drift 17\n\nOur process\nHere's a breakdown of our recruitment process to give you a clear idea:\nIntroduction Call with the recruiter about the job & Rentman, online (30 mins)\n\nPast Experience & Culture Interview with the team, online (60 mins)\n\nDesign System case and final discussion Interview, on-site (90 mins)\n\nApply now!

We believe that our differences make us stronger and strive to foster a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4851,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["ERP & Business Management Software","Event Technology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T00:17:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"NL","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Recognised sponsor of the Dutch immigration service (IND)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Highly skilled migrants and regular labour","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:10:06+00:00","sources":["IND: public register of recognised sponsors (work)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":28,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.505,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":34,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rentman-design-system-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rentman-design-system-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-07T02:13:25Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3677,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1323,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-08T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2245705},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2245705"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frentman-design-system-designer"},{"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%2Frentman-design-system-designer"},{"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%2Frentman-design-system-designer"},{"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/rentman-design-system-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frentman-design-system-designer"}]}
