Job Summary
In this position, you will collaboratively design UI components, maintain the Pattern Library, and optimize designs with Product Owners and developers for a consistent user experience across the platform.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You work closely with your counterparts in design, various Product Owners, and our external Low-code developers. Together, you design new features and improve existing offerings. Throughout this process, you keep the entire platform in view: users should be able to navigate easily even when switching between different tools and areas.
- Your focus: a consistent appearance and reusable components that match in Figma and in the product.
- Manage the Pattern Library: You take over the existing Figma library for internal management, familiarize yourself with its structure, and develop it further according to needs.
- Design components and interfaces: You develop reusable components based on mockups/screen designs with clear responsive variants and states for new and existing features.
- Maintain standards: You structure colors, typography, spacing, and other design values as consistent design tokens. You document usage rules and establish traceable processes for changes, approvals, and library updates.
- Aligning design and implementation: You coordinate components and design guidelines with development and review the implementation in the product. Together, you aim for a maintainable, modular CSS structure and avoid unnecessary custom solutions.
- Ensuring quality: You pay attention to visual consistency, responsive behavior, and accessibility, such as contrasts and focus states. You support the team in correctly utilizing existing components.
- Your focus: clear processes and a seamless user experience across the entire platform.
- Understanding usage issues: You analyze existing user flows and identify obstacles, detours, and breaks - especially at the transitions between different tools and areas.
- Learning with users: You plan and moderate interviews and usability tests. You combine these insights with feedback and existing usage data to derive concrete improvements.
- Develop workflows and designs: Together with the Product Owners, you translate requirements into user flows, wireframes, screen designs, and clickable prototypes in Figma. You utilize the existing design system.
- Create a unified user experience: You develop overarching rules for navigation, forms, feedback, and understandable terminology. You coordinate new interaction patterns with the UI role and incorporate them into the design system. In doing so, you consider that our components are heavily based on KERN — but at the same time, individual requirements also arise.
- Review improvements: You test concepts early and support their implementation. Together with the Product Owners, you define what success looks like – for example, through successfully completed tasks and fewer dropouts.

Our expectations of you
Education
- Several years of relevant practical experience and the ability to independently shape your focus. A relevant degree or training is welcome; what matters most are your skills and work samples.

- Very good German skills for collaboration and designing German-speaking user experiences as well as good English skills.
Experience

You are proficient in Figma, working confidently with Auto Layout, components, variants, component properties, and variables.

Experience with low-code environments is a plus.
- You have practical experience in UX or Product Design of digital applications. You can translate complex requirements into comprehensible information structures and simple workflows. User interviews, usability testing, and prototyping in Figma are part of your skill set. You justify decisions based on user needs and insights — not just personal preferences.
