Senior Product Design Engineer

WHAT YOU WILL OWN AND DELIVER

• Customer Surfaces: Own the end-to-end design and UX strategy across web, iOS, and Android for all core journey stages: homepage, search & browse, product pages, basket, slot selection, checkout, and order tracking.
• Design System as a Product: Own component architecture, design tokens, patterns, and documentation, ensuring our coding agents have precise design guidance to generate accurate interfaces.
• AI Experience Design: Define the interaction patterns for Maia (our AI shopping assistant), governing when it intervenes, how it presents information, and how it hands over to human support.
• Experimentation & Analysis: Drive hypotheses, prototype rapidly, and evaluate A/B test results objectively — scaling successful experiments and sunsetting features that miss target performance.
• Direct User Research: Conduct qualitative interviews, usability tests, and field research directly with customers to continuously uncover friction points.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate closely with the Product Owner, Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, and your peer product designer, while providing design input to Commercial, Marketing, and Operations.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of experience designing consumer-facing digital products with a strong portfolio of shipped work across both web and native mobile (iOS and Android).
• Advanced Figma & Design System expertise: Deep, hands-on experience building, scaling, and architecting multi-platform design systems at the token and component level.
• Data-fluent mindset: Ability to read and rigorously interpret A/B testing data, distinguishing genuine impact from vanity metrics.
• Fluency with AI tooling: Practical experience integrating AI tools into modern design, prototyping, and design system workflows, along with a clear view of where conversational AI adds real interface value.
• User research expertise: Demonstrated experience designing, running, and analyzing qualitative usability sessions directly with end users.
• Strong product reasoning: Excellent communication skills in English (C1 level or above), with the ability to articulate the strategic and behavioral rationale behind design decisions.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience designing production-grade AI or assistant-driven interfaces.
• Experience contributing directly to code at the component or token level.
• Background in e-commerce, quick-commerce, online grocery, or last-mile delivery.
• First-hand familiarity with how German customers shop.
• Fluency in German or Czech.
