Profil recherché
- Strong writing and communication skills in English- Comfort owning the end-to-end cycle in a lean product trio (lead designer, lead engineer, senior front-end engineer) with no PM layer - iterating quickly, sometimes side-by-side with engineering, sometimes shipping it yourself
- 5+ years spanning product design and front-end engineering - you both design and ship (ideally across mobile and web)
- A track record of proactively identifying problems worth solving, not only executing on a defined brief
- Proficiency with Figma
- Based in Berlin or willing to relocate (hybrid working model)
- You don't need to check every box. If you're a strong designer who ships, or a strong front-end engineer with real design taste, we want to hear from you
- Proficiency building in production front-end code (React / TypeScript / CSS), with a focus on interaction, polish, and performance - comfortable owning a change from Figma through to a merged PR
- An AI-native workflow: you routinely use AI to accelerate your process (research synthesis, prototyping, coding, content exploration) in a way that improves quality, not just speed
- Comfort working with an established design system in code - applying its components and patterns well, spotting where they fall short, and keeping design and build in sync
- A dual portfolio: strong UX and UI fundamentals and strong end-to-end thinking (problem framing, flow, interaction, visual execution), plus examples of front-end code and interfaces you've shipped to production
- Experience designing (or strong informed opinions about) conversational / LLM-based experiences and the UX patterns they require
- Experience helping raise the design/quality bar for other people's delivery - through review, crit, pairing, or design-system contribution - as an individual contributor rather than a manager
- Experience with Tech/SaaS and L&D/HR
- Experience designing B2B/enterprise dashboards or data-heavy interfaces
- Familiarity with motion/animation, design tokens, Storybook, or component tooling
- Comfort with low-code / no-code and AI build tooling as a way to ship and prototype faster
- Great presentation skills and confidence when engaging with decision-makers
- German language skills are a plus
