Senior UI/UX Frontend Developer (m/f/d) full-time

Your tasks:

• Design System & Documentation: You are responsible for the strategic and operational development and maintenance of reusable UI components and design tokens in Figma and Storybook. To this end, you will create comprehensive documentation for the use of components, variants, states (e.g., hover, active, error), and best practices
• Target-audience-oriented design: You combine your design flair with deep technical understanding. You create wireframes and translate them into intuitive mock-ups as well as high-class prototypes
• Interface to Frontend Development: You form the bridge between design and development. Your UI/UX concepts are the foundation for ensuring that designs can be implemented consistently and efficiently into code
• Quality & Performance: You ensure that features meet the requirements of the Design System during development, proactively accompany the implementation from conception to go-live, and thereby guarantee a consistent and performant User Experience
• Mentoring: You actively share your knowledge of modern UI/UX principles and methods within the team, thereby empowering the frontend team to apply best practices independently
• Agile Team: You form the interface between product management and software development in our Scrum team with around eight releases per year

What you bring to the table:

• Design-technical mindset: Do you have a strong sense of aesthetics & user guidance, and do you think in patterns and technological feasibility? Perfect! It’s a match!
• Tech Stack: Do you master Figma and Storybook like the back of your hand? Do you know exactly how to build complex design systems, create functional prototypes, and scale digital products? Then please send us your portfolio!
• Code understanding: You don't have to be a full-stack developer, but you speak the language of development. You bring a clear understanding of modern frontend frameworks (React or Vue.js) as well as CSS architectures (e.g., Tailwind CSS) to harmonize perfectly with development
• Way of working & Team player: You convince us with your outstanding collaborative nature. It is important to you to share your knowledge and actively take on an interface function
• Communication: Our international team in Karlsruhe communicates primarily in English – German skills are nice-to-have

What you can expect from us:

• Your growth potential: You work independently and can contribute actively: We support you in your development and individually shape your onboarding
• Great working atmosphere: Flat hierarchies & a positive, respectful, and familiar working atmosphere at eye level await you – of course using "du" and without a dress code
• Our premises: In our Activity Room with foosball, table tennis & sports equipment, you can let off steam; in our Relax Room, you can recover. In addition, a shower, lockable lockers, as well as fruit & a large selection of drinks await you
• Flexibility: We offer you flexible working hours, the possibility of one home office day per week, and 32 vacation days
• Job & Family in harmony: For us, it is completely normal if a son occasionally pops into the frame during an online meeting or a daughter comes along to the office. The parent-child room ensures that you can work flexibly when your child is with you
• Extensive accessibility: Excellent connections by train, car, or bike (including a secure underground garage for cars & bicycles) make your commute easy
• JobRad: With our company bike offer, you can choose your desired bike and stay in motion
• Deutschlandticket: Via our employee portal, you will receive the Deutschlandticket at a discounted price
• Employee discounts: On our partner platform, you and your relatives receive interesting offers regarding online shopping
