Your mission

We are looking for a UI Designer / Frontend Developer who will build, develop, and anchor our design system within development. You are the person who transforms design specifications into production-ready, reusable components and ensures they are consistently implemented throughout the entire product. We work AI-first - with Cursor and Claude Code - and expect you not only to use these tools but to actively help shape what a modern design process with AI support looks like.

Systematically build and expand our design system - evolve existing approaches with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui into a consistent, scalable system that thinks beyond individual components
Develop reusable UI components with clear APIs, clean documentation, and high quality standards - from buttons to complex data grids
Transform UX concepts into production-ready components - from Figma designs, but also from Lovable prototypes and Claude Code outputs. You are the bridge between design vision and technical reality
Work closely with the Head of Product Design and Head of Product to ensure the design system reflects and supports the product strategy
Ensure adoption within the development team - you make sure the design system doesn’t gather dust in documentation but is consistently used in daily code
Safeguard UI quality through reviews, testing, and systematic consistency checks across all product areas
Help shape a new design process that natively integrates AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and Lovable - vibe coding is not a buzzword for us but lived practice
Anchor design system rules in AI-supported workflows - e.g., through skills, prompts, and configurations so that AI-generated code also meets our standards
Optimize performance, responsiveness, accessibility, and code quality - especially where AI-generated code meets production requirements
