• Develop user-centered flows, screens and interactions with a very high standard of visual quality, consistency and attention to detail.
• Develop and scale design systems, components, tokens and UI standards and ensure their consistent application across products and platforms.
• Define, together with UX, Product and Development, viable design principles and translate user needs, business goals and technical requirements into product solutions.
• Actively drive UI quality, identify inconsistencies and optimization potentials, and develop pragmatic, scalable solutions.
• Use AI tools intentionally for exploration, prototyping, systematization and modern UI workflows and continuously evolve existing working methods.
• Work closely with Product, UX, Development and Data and accompany features from exploration to implementation.
• Steer design decisions confidently in exchange with clients and stakeholders, moderate differing requirements and justify decisions clearly.

What they're looking for

• Extensive experience as a Product or UI/UX Designer in the digital product environment, ideally in consulting, agency or client-near project settings.
• Outstanding UI skills and a very pronounced sense for visual quality, typography, layout, interaction and interface details.
• Solid experience in designing complex digital products and the ability to independently take responsibility for design tasks from discovery and conception to implementation.
• Deep experience in building, evolving and scaling design systems, components, design tokens and reusable UI patterns.
• Very confident use of Figma, especially Auto Layout, Components, Variables, Prototyping and Dev Mode.
• Very good understanding of frontend technologies, dev handoff and component-based development processes.
• Experience ensuring design quality and consistency across larger products, platforms or different teams.
