At Celonis, design has to scale across a complex, enterprise-grade process intelligence platform, and increasingly, it has to scale to machines as well as people.
Key Responsibilities
Design and build production components in Angular and TypeScript, our design system is built in Angular and we may adopt React over time, on a foundation of rock-solid HTML and CSS (semantic markup, ARIA, and modern CSS custom properties driving design tokens).
Own interaction decisions, component design, and front-end architecture end-to-end, independently translating ambiguous requirements into thoughtful, usable UX.
Translate complex process-intelligence data and AI-driven behaviors into clear, intuitive, high-performance operator experiences.
Set the technical and craft standard for front-end quality, polish, motion and animation, performance, and accessibility, across the team.
Drive rapid prototyping to explore novel interaction concepts and turn ambitious design visions into distinctive, testable experiences.
Collaborate with designers, PMs, and engineers to derive and evolve the design system through a healthy contribution model.
Make the system agent-ready: maintain tokens-as-code in the W3C DTCG format (Style Dictionary or similar) and structure component metadata, docs, and APIs so AI coding agents can consume them as reliable context.
Author and maintain Figma Code Connect mappings so Figma components link cleanly to their coded counterparts for engineers and agents alike.
Build evals as guardrails, visual-regression, accessibility, and token-compliance checks in CI, so generated and contributed UI meets the bar before it ships.
Use AI tooling daily (Figma Make, v0, Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or similar), applying senior design and engineering judgment to critique and correct the output.
Lead system initiatives and mentor designers and engineers contributing to it.
Requirements
Around 5–8 years across design engineering / UX engineering / front-end, including significant hands-on work building a design system or component library in a SaaS or B2B environment.
Excellent UX instincts with strong attention to interaction detail and usability, you can own design decisions independently, with minimal oversight.
Strong production front-end skills in Angular and TypeScript with rock-solid HTML and CSS fundamentals; experience with (or genuine openness to) React is a plus.
Deep understanding of design token architecture (primitive → semantic → component tiers) and modern token pipelines.
Strong Figma fluency and comfort moving fluidly between design and code.
Demonstrated accessibility expertise (WCAG 2.2) implemented in code.
Hands-on fluency with AI design and coding tools, and an opinionated, responsible point of view on using them.
A strong product mindset and bias toward ownership, plus the communication and leadership of a senior IC.
