About the role
We're a Series A/B-backed AI procurement intelligence company building the next generation of agentic workflows for the industrial sector — and we're looking for a Junior Product Designer to help us invent what that looks like. This is a rare opportunity to shape UX patterns that genuinely don't exist yet: how procurement professionals supervise AI agents, how trust is built between humans and automated systems, and how complex industrial workflows evolve from dashboards into agent-driven experiences. You'll join a small, cross-functional team shipping weekly to paying customers in a fast-moving B2B environment.
Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end product flows, screens, and prototypes that ship to real customers within weeks — not months.
- Define how AI agents surface work, how humans review it, and how trust is established between them.
- Prototype rapidly in Figma, code, and AI tools to communicate ideas quickly and effectively.
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and domain experts to minimise handoff friction.
- Review PRs and contribute last-mile interaction and visual polish to ensure the highest shipped quality.
- Raise visual and interaction standards across the product and actively contribute to the design system.
- Own features from discovery through to launch — not just isolated screens.
- Iterate based on real customer feedback and observed usage patterns.
Requirements
- 0–2 years of product design experience (strong internships count) with a portfolio of shipped work — ideally in B2B, complex workflows, or data-heavy products.
- Demonstrated ability to own end-to-end feature design and ship to paying customers on short cycles.
- Strong instinct for visual and interaction design with a keen eye for design system consistency.
- Practical understanding of the design-to-development lifecycle and a focus on cross-functional alignment.
- Daily use of AI tools in your workflow (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, v0, Figma AI features) for ideation and prototyping.
- Systems thinking: you care about how many features work together, not just single screens.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for shipping over endless polish.
- Willingness to work on-site in Munich — visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Nice to Have
- Prototyping experience in code (HTML, CSS, React).
- Prior experience designing for non-technical users navigating complex domains.
- Strong opinions on how AI should manifest in products beyond a chat interface.
- Background in enterprise software, procurement, supply chain, or industrial sectors.
Location
This role is on-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this position.
