Product Designer (UI/UX) German-speaking (remote)

About the project

We’re forming a new team to design digital services for customers in the energy sector. As our Product Designer, you’ll work from research to prototype. You’ll speak directly with customers in German, find out where customers get stuck, test ways to make those journeys simpler and help build the components that other teams will use across the product.

Key responsibilities

• Lead customer interviews and usability tests in German. Synthesise your findings and use them to decide what needs to change.
• Design user flows and interfaces in Figma, build interactive prototypes and discuss your design decisions with stakeholders.
• Build and maintain a token-based design system across product and engineering teams, including its component library, design tokens, documentation and versioning.
• Design for accessibility from the first concept and check that it carries through to the final design.

Required skills & experience

• 8+ years of UI/UX design experience on software products.
• Fluent spoken and written German for customer research and stakeholder discussions.
• Strong Figma skills, including Auto Layout, components, variables and Dev Mode.
• Hands-on experience with qualitative user research and with building and maintaining token-based design systems.
• Practical experience applying WCAG 2.1 Level AA and BITV 2.0 during concept development, design and review.
• Experience working across multiple teams and domains and using Jira and Confluence.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted tools for design and documentation.

Nice to have

• Experience with SAFe, LeSS or Nexus.
• Motion design and micro-interactions.
• Quantitative research using analytics or A/B testing.

Why join us?

• Join while the team is taking shape and have a say in how design works from day one. You’ll have direct access to the people using the product and room to act on what you learn, from rethinking a single interaction to improving a component that several teams rely on.

How to apply

• Apply with your CV and a link to your portfolio. We’d like to see at least three completed projects that show how you took a product or feature from user research and concept through UI design and prototyping.
