Thousands of applications to govern. Major transformations to manage. Growing regulatory complexity on one side, business units shipping AI prototypes in days on the other. And in the middle: enterprise IT teams still managing and collecting tech demands manually, managing the complexity of highly integrated processes and systems.\nStackgini changes this fundamentally. Stackgini's system understands its customers' enterprise tech landscape from the ground up, from technical configuration to application documentation, from individual IT demands to dependencies across the entire tech portfolio, with the depth of knowledge of a senior IT expert and the speed of a machine. If you had unlimited budget, you would hire a dedicated IT expert for every IT demand. With Stackgini, this is now possible.\nSome of the largest organizations in this world trust Stackgini including DAX-40 and Fortune-500 customers like Siemens Healthineers or REWE.\nWe're a small, talent-dense team of >10, building what we believe will change how the world's largest companies operate. We are growing fast, and the people joining now are the ones who set the standard - for the product, the culture, and our category. Stackgini will be the place where you will do the most meaningful work of your career.\nTasks\nHow Stackgini's users experience the product from first contact to deep daily use. You'll spend meaningful time with customers, inside their environments, understanding how they think and how they work. That research is the foundation everything else gets built on. You'll bring those insights back into product, translate them into clear workflows and interaction patterns, and work closely with engineering and product to ship experiences that actually change how people operate.\nThis is not a role where research gets handed off. You own the loop, from question to insight to shipped product.\nDesign & Product\nOwn the entire product design process and execute it yourself - discovery, wireframes, prototypes, interaction design, final UI and EPIC definition for Engineering teams.\nDesign AI-native interfaces. This is a core design challenge at Stackgini, not an afterthought.\nWork closely with Customers, Customer Success and Engineering.\nTake designs together with engineers to implementation, support them by writing EPICs, hand off, and doing QA.\nDefine and improve information architecture and navigation patterns as the product grows.\nTranslate product strategy and roadmap priorities into design solutions, proactively proposing directions.\nBuild and maintain Stackgini's design system.\nUser Research\nUnderstand our user personas in and out and radically put yourself into the shoes of their day-to-day needs.\nPlan and run qualitative research: user interviews, contextual inquiry, and usability testing - with real users on a regular cadence.\nThink beyond what users say, synthesize findings into actionable insights and communicate them clearly to the team.\nIdentify unmet needs and surface opportunities for new features or improvements.\nRequirements\nWe're looking for someone who is endlessly curious about how people work and what gets in their way.\nMust-Have Experience\n4+ years experience designing complex digital products end-to-end, ideally in enterprise software, B2B SaaS, or other environments where workflows are messy and users are sophisticated. \nDeep UX research skills. You know how to get real signal from customers - through interviews, observation, and time spent in their world - and how to turn that into design decisions that hold up. \nA clear point of view on how AI shifts user behaviour and interaction patterns. This is an AI-native product and the design challenges are genuinely new. \nProven ability to work across the full design lifecycle - from user research and concept through to polished, production-ready UI.\nExpert Figma skills: component libraries, auto layout, design systems.\nAI first mindset, using AI tools as a force multiplier across research, copy, and prototyping.\nHands on with AI assisted tools like Lovable, Claude, Cursor, or Claude Code for rapid prototyping.\nComfortable in early stage or 0→1 environments with limited information.\nStrong interaction design instincts: flows, not just screens.\nPragmatic, fast prototyping, feedback driven, impact over perfection.\nLow ego, collaborative partner to product and engineering.\nFluent English, full professional German.\nHighly Valued\nCompliance, risk, or governance tool design experience.\nFamiliarity with enterprise IT or IT4IT.\nFast growing startup experience.\nWCAG 2.1 AA and inclusive design knowledge.\nShow Us Your Work\nWe want to see what you have built and designed. Please include at least one of the following with your application:\nA Dribbble profile, portfolio website or screenshots/videos of interfaces you have designed and implemented\n A brief screen recording of a walkthrough (2-5 minutes) of a project you took from problem to shipped product, ideally a full website or app, where you walk through the design decisions behind them\nIf you have not worked in B2B SaaS before and can show related work, strong portfolio work is how you make the case.\nBenefits\nCompetitive compensation package including employee stock options\nOpportunities for professional growth\n30 days of vacation and day off on your birthday\nModern office space in Berlin\nBudget for self-improvement, and other perks\nGympass \nDeutschlandticket subscription\nDedicated time for learning & innovation\nQuarterly Get-Together-Events\nThe best popcorn in town\nReady to make an impact?
