 ## About the role
 
-### What you'll do on a day-to-day basis
-
-As a **designer**, you will:
+Designers at MUI are essentially _team leaders_.
+That means you'll be working closely with your engineering lead counterpart to shape work and scope targeting a set of problems revolving around our component area, either on MUI Core or MUI X (to be further defined).
 
-- Ensure high-quality UI and UX across teams, libraries, components, and product strategy
-- Collaborate with product managers and engineers to ensure that design work is aligned with business goals and user needs
-- Create design concepts, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups for projects on the X, Core, and Toolpad teams
-- Update and implement new components on the Core, X, and Toolpad teams
-- Develop and maintain MUI's own design system and style guide
-- Oversee the design kits production, ensuring they're aligned with engineering implementation
+As our [design philosophy](https://mui-org.notion.site/Design-philosophy-bdbef60d6fad4134a43870df3e452ebc) states, you'll be conducting and guiding the whole team, making sure everything we do is adding a special design spice that only you can add.
+We imagine a world where design execution is a definitive product differentiator.
 
-As a **team leader**, you will:
+### What you'll do on a day-to-day basis
 
-- Manage the design process, including user research, user flows, and user testing
-- Review design work and provide feedback to ensure overall design quality and consistency, with consideration to both UI and UX
-- Set goals, priorities, and distribute tasks for the design team
-- Provide mentorship and support to the design team members
-- Hire and retain a great team
+- Ensure high-quality user interface and UX work across MUI Core or MUI X components and design systems
+- Oversee the design kits production of the component set you'll be responsible for
+- Lead the design process for your team, from research to testing to implementation
+- Collaborate with product managers and engineers to strategize work that is aligned with business goals and user needs
+- Review designs from other team members and provide feedback to ensure all MUI design output has the same level of quality
 
 ## About you
 
-We're looking for someone with an expert eye for both UI and UX design. Details matter to you.
+If you get excited by thinking about design systems, high-level of craftsmanship, accessible components, and joyful experiences, then we're looking for you!
+
+We're looking for designers who are generalists, meaning they can navigate from very high-level product strategy discussions to low-level implementation work.
 
-You're a leader who can support and guide a small but growing design team.
+As a company that develops code-based products, it's important that you have a grasp of development to be effective.
+Concretely, that means you can at least picture how a given CSS snippet looks like just by reading it.
+Being able to contribute to the codebase yourself, open pull requests, and improve documentation or components is very valuable.
 
-And, it's also important that you have enough development skills – CSS, JSX, Git, etc. – to communicate effectively with engineers, product managers, and ultimately, to be accountable for the quality of the design implemented.
+We strongly believe designers should code to ensure the level of detail they've wished for is really being implemented.
+So, if you're this designer, either already able to code or growing in this direction, we're looking for you.
 
-### Skills you should have
+### Other skills you should have
 
-- **Expert-level UI knowledge**. You can craft great-looking designs, spotting tiny details most people wouldn't pay attention to.
-- **Expert-level UX knowledge**. You can build intuitive solutions, both high and low-level ones. You care about the entire user journey as well as an interaction with a specific component.
-- **Sharp written and verbal communication skills**. Communicating clearly is fundamental to create and manage high-quality products and teams. You'll interface with our team, community members, enterprise customers and also contribute to user documentation.
-- **Managerial abilities**. You have either managed a team before or are feeling ready to start now. You've shown that you're a design leader at heart and can provide the needed guidance and support to other designers.
-- **Comfortable around design systems**. You've worked on one before and have experienced the challenges of developing it.
-- **Enough development autonomy**. Our products are essentially code. Knowing how to navigate through code is key to understanding MUI products and collaborating with engineers. You know how to work with CSS (mainly CSS-in-JS), JSX, and Git.
+- **Excellent written and verbal communication skills.** You will communicate both in writing and verbally with our globally-distributed team, community members, and enterprise customers. English is the primary language we interact in.
+- **Experience building and evaluating UI/UX.** You can design attractive UIs with well-thought-out interaction patterns that solve practical user problems.
+- **Design systems experience.** You have previously worked on or contributed to the creation of a design system. You are meticulous about component APIs, standards, and organization.
+- **Relative development autonomy.** Ability to read HTML/JSX and CSS is a requirement. Being able to code and contribute to the codebase would be a significant advantage, but isn't required for the role.
 
-### What would be nice if you had, but isn't required
+### It would be nice if you had but it isn't required
 
-- **Experience with open-source projects**. You have seen the particular product dynamics when in an OSS environment and are knowledgable of the challenges.
+- **Past experience with open-source projects.** You understand the unique dynamics of products in an open-source environment as well as common challenges that arise.
