UX Engineer (f/m/x)

We are searching for someone who enjoys thinking about design in a structured way, maintaining systems, and helping to design technical tools and automation processes. Our ideal candidate brings strengths in both UI design and development – we’re not seeking someone solely focused on one discipline. Your role bridges both disciplines: roughly 50% focused on design system and token logic, and 50% on tooling, structure, and process optimization.
 
Your day-to-day will include:

• Maintaining and developing design systems down to the last pixel in various client projects, ensuring design quality, structural clarity, and consistency in tools like Figma. Exploring and creating innovative, client-specific design solutions from the ground up
• Maintaining and organizing design tokens, taking care of components, naming, documentation, and taking responsiblity for the structural integrity of the system. Being in close contact with clients and produce high-quality deliveries
• Learning about technical processes related to tokens and develop scripts, automations, or plugins.
• Assisting in setting up workflows and small helper tools that connect our Designs with the technical reality of the product – together with engineering teams
• Contributing to our DesignOps approach: We don't just want to use tools, processes, and systems, we want to help shape them or even define them.

You have experience with common design tools and design systems – and an eye for structured, clean, sustainable work. You're eager to explore and adopt emerging tools and technologies. Positivity and solution-oriented mindset drives your daily business and you genuinely enjoy developing expertise in technical topics.
Here’s what we think you need to succeed in this role: 

• A background/degree in UI/UX Design with a technical mindset.
• At least 3 years of experience in designing digital user interfaces (experience in the mobility industry is advantageous) 
• First experiences with automation or scripting (e.g., Node.js, Python, or AI Agents) are helpful but not mandatory
• You are good at structured thinking, and thinking beyond the screen level in terms of systems, reusability, and scaling
• You are excited to tackle different design system requirements from different clients
• Location: Munich area (2+ days per week in the office required)
• Fluency in English is required; German is a plus

You don't have to be able to do everything – but you do have to be keen to figure things out and make them happen. This is your opportunity to actively shape the way design systems are built, scaled, and integrated – both visually in Figma and technically through tokens and tooling.
