HI Production Designer - Systems Design - Apple Media Services

Culver City, CADesign$142,300 – $263,300Posted 21 days ago

The Product & Design team for Apple Media Services is seeking an experienced Human Interface Designer to own visual specification and design-to-engineering hand-oﬀ across multiple products, including all Apple platforms and additional 3rd-party platforms as needed. Familiarity building components and working within design system architecture is strongly desired. As part of a small, high-impact team supporting some of Apple's most actively evolving consumer apps, your ability to bring order and clarity to fast-moving, ambiguous work will directly shape the experience used by millions of people every day.

Description

The ideal candidate is an independent, technically proficient designer who can own a broad, fast-moving workspace with minimal oversight, determining how to approach ambiguous problems and driving them to resolution across teams.

Partnering closely with product designers, producers, and engineering leads, you'll catch changes early and keep implementation documented and intentional rather than ad hoc, while translating design intent, including custom and one-oﬀ requests, into precise, engineering-ready specifications.

This is a role focused on being the source of truth for visual specifications as our apps evolve: producing detailed design deliverables for engineering, covering spacing, sizing, type tokens, materials, assets, variants and more, while maintaining and expanding our design system's libraries and upholding consistency across platforms with rigor and discernment. You'll also manage your own queue of competing priorities, negotiating scope and timeline tradeoﬀs as needed. Keen attention to detail and strong organizational skills are a must, along with the ability to navigate rapid change and ambiguity.

You are a clear, direct communicator who proactively surfaces problems and drives solutions across teams. As our scope grows, you'll also help set the bar for quality across the team, coaching less experienced designers where it's useful.

Preferred Qualifications

Established expertise in production design, with the range to expand into adjacent design and production disciplines

Experience mentoring or guiding less experienced designers

Desire to keep up with emerging technology, including AI tools (e.g., Claude, GPT, or similar), to enhance design and production workflows

Prior experience supporting a media/entertainment or content-heavy app

Native app development experience (e.g., Swift, SwiftUI) is a plus, helping bridge design intent and implementation

Degree in related field of study or equivalent experience

Minimum Qualifications

Several years of professional experience in production design, UX design, or a closely related design-operations role, with experience working across multiple platforms simultaneously

Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex, ambiguous problems and drive solutions across teams with minimal guidance

Fluent in Figma, including component libraries, design tokens, and variables; comfortable working within and extending an existing design system

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a strong ability to

collaborate eﬀectively across designers, engineers, and other cross-functional partners

Strong organizational skills combined with a proven ability to juggle multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced design studio

Experience translating fast-changing, sometimes non-standard design intent into clear, implementation-ready specs

Portfolio demonstrating spec and documentation work on shipped products, not just visual design
