UI Designer (m/w/d)

At COBE, we design and build digital products that don't just work, they feel really good to use. We're all about creating beautiful experiences, and that's exactly why we're looking for you: a UI Designer who builds interfaces with genuine instinct and doesn't just use design systems, but actively shapes them.

What you’ll do

• You take the design lead on multiple projects and work closely with an ambitious team
• You internalize our brand-driven design methodology (UXi) and create meaningful user experiences that truly fit the brand
• You design digital interfaces with high visual quality, typography, layout, spacing, hierarchy: consistent and clean across entire flows
• You work component-based and actively evolve design systems (patterns, component logic, guidelines, tokens)
• You make design decisions with intention and can back them up, in the context of users, product goals, and brand
• You set qualitative guardrails to help the team move faster, stay consistent, and level up (reviews, UI checks, quality bars)
• You work closely with Product, Engineering, and Brand, from dev-ready designs to support during sprints
• You proactively seek feedback from experienced colleagues to ensure high quality before deadlines
• You spot opportunities to improve the design process and drive changes together with the team
• You lead, organize, and moderate presentations for key milestones, workshops, or creative sessions within your projects
• You stay on top of UI trends and share your knowledge within COBE
• You create effort estimates and help PMs keep workload and capacity aligned
• You join pitches and take ownership of the brand-driven design part

What you bring

• You have at least three years of professional experience as a UI Designer at an agency or in a relevant in-house role
• You make design decisions with intention and can back them up with a strong eye for typography, color, layout, and hierarchy
• High craft-level UI quality down to the details (states, responsiveness, edge cases, etc.)
• Strong understanding of design systems and component-based workflows
• Solid Figma skills: Auto Layout, Variants, Tokens and you know how to build files that teams can actually work with
• Experience collaborating closely with Engineering (e.g. component logic, handover processes, token strategies)
• A portfolio of real digital interfaces showing visual clarity and consistency across multiple screens and flows - we're excited to see it!
• You enjoy coaching other designers visually and raising the bar for UI quality across the team
• Your German is at least C-level and your English at least B-level

Nice to have

• You’ve built complex, scaling interfaces before: SaaS, platforms, data-heavy UIs
• A background in branding or graphic design or a strong sense of how brand and product UI work together
