Owning the visual direction of Zoom’s Design System — setting the standard for color, typography, iconography, spacing, motion, and component aesthetics across all platforms.

Crafting and maintaining a cohesive visual language that feels unified, polished, and distinctly Zoom across the entire product ecosystem.

Producing pixel‑perfect assets, robust prototypes, and detailed design specifications that enable engineering to build exactly what’s designed.

Defining and documenting visual style guidelines, design patterns, and usage principles that scale across teams and platforms.

Collaborating with designers, engineers, product managers, researchers, and accessibility partners to communicate visual decisions with clarity and conviction.

Mentoring designers on visual craft, helping the broader team develop a sharper aesthetic sensibility, and raising the quality bar across every touchpoint.

What We’re Looking For

BS or equivalent experience with 6+ years in product design focusing on visual design; brand or graphic design experience is a bonus.

A portfolio that showcases mastery of typography, color, composition, motion, and UI craft across complex product surfaces.

An obsessive eye for detail, spacing, alignment, visual rhythm, and polish; proficiency with Figma including component architecture, auto layout, and prototyping; motion design experience is a valuable bonus.

Experience with design systems thinking, understanding how visual decisions scale and applying craft within a systematic framework.

Cross‑functional experience working across teams and time zones on complex, high‑visibility projects.

Familiarity with AI‑assisted design and vibe coding tools (e.g., Claude Design, Codex, or similar) to prototype ideas rapidly.

Salary
On‑target earnings (OTE): $124,000 – $271,200. Base salary, bonus, and equity value are considered in Zoom’s Total Direct Compensation philosophy.
