Job Title: Contract Designer, Spectrum Android
Location: Remote
Contract Duration: 3 months
Pay Rate Range: $60.00/hr. to $65.49/hr. on W2
Work Authorization: Only USC or GC
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DO
Introduction:
- Do you love the craft of native Android design, with all the small decisions about motion, touch, and platform conventions that make an app feel like it belongs on the device?
- **** Design, our nearly 300-person product design group, is looking for a contract designer to join the Spectrum team and focus on our Android platform.
- Spectrum is ****'s design system, and it powers experiences across Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud. As ****'s mobile footprint grows, we need a designer who can help ensure Spectrum feels genuinely at home on Android, honoring Material guidelines where it matters while staying true to ****'s identity.
What you'll be working on:
- You'll be designing and refining Spectrum components for Android, balancing Material Design conventions with ****'s cross-platform design language.
- You'll work closely with engineering to scope components, refine implementation strategies, and craft specs that translate directly into Jetpack Compose.
- You'll be collaborating with Spectrum designers working on iOS, web, and desktop to align patterns across platforms while respecting what makes each one unique.
- You'll be contributing to documentation and usage guidance so product teams building ****'s Android apps can adopt components confidently.
Skills:
Must haves:
- 5+ years of product design experience with significant time spent designing for Android
- Fluency in Material Design and a clear point of view on when to follow it, when to extend it, and when to diverge
- Experience designing components and patterns as part of a design system, not just screens or features
- Strong collaboration skills with engineering partners, including familiarity with how Android components are built (Jetpack Compose experience a plus)
- Clear written and verbal communication, so you can explain a design decision to a designer, an engineer, and a PM, and each one walks away with what they need
- Ability to ramp quickly and work independently within an established system
Nice-to-haves:
- Prior experience contributing to a public or large-scale design system
- Familiarity with accessibility standards on Android (TalkBack, touch targets, motion preferences)
- Experience designing across multiple platforms (iOS, web) in addition to Android
- Background working with creative or productivity tools
Education:
- A degree or certification in product design
BENEFITS:
We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the health, well-being, and financial security of our employees and their families. Eligible employees may receive:
- Health Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Retirement Plans: Participation in a company-sponsored retirement savings plan.
- Legal Service Plans: Offering access to attorneys for legal advice and representation.
