Job Summary
Principal UX Design Systems Lead (Hybrid-San Diego, CA or Acton, MA)Our Vision
We envision a future where code is the primary source of truth. In this future, all functions work natively in code for quick experimentation and production automation. This frees teams to spend time learning faster and framing problems better. Figma becomes the final step to refine craft, communication, and regulatory documentation rather than the starting point.
Why This Role Exists
If you are one-third Designer, one-third Engineer, and one-third Community Builder, this role is for you. You have spent the last few years using AI to transform how products are built rather than simply how designs are created.
We believe AI and Design Systems are a match made in heaven. Together, they eliminate repetitive work and embed quality by default. They enable teams to learn and ship faster without sacrificing experience quality, compliance, or consistency.
At Insulet, we are building more than a Design System. We are building the product development platform that will power our AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AIDLC) in a heavily regulated industry. Ultimately, this platform exists to help us deliver better products, faster and safer, for people living with diabetes.
What You'll Own
1. Build the Platform
Lead the evolution of Insulet's Global Design System.
2. Build the AI Context Layer
Define and evolve structured context that enables AI to generate assets.
3. Build the Community
Operate a Core + Extensions federated design system model.
4. Build an Observable System
Define and own metrics to continuously improve the platform.

Why This Role Is Different
Most Design Systems exist to standardize interfaces. Ours exists to transform how digital experiences are built. You won't simply manage components. You will build the infrastructure that enables humans and AI to collaborate safely at enterprise scale. You will help automate the tedious tasks to deliver better experiences faster, improving the lives of people living with diabetes.
