ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Senior Product Designer at WunderGraph, you are the connection between what our users will find most helpful and what our engineers build. Considering the users also happen to be other developers, this becomes an interesting challenge to think about the Developer Experience as the User Experience. You combine sharp user insight, craft, and pragmatism to deliver experiences that are elegant, usable, and built to scale.
This is a wide-reaching role, as design roles at a startup should be. One week you might be running user interviews to shape a new feature; the next, refining our design system or designing a marketing landing page. You ground your work in evidence rather than assumption, partner closely with product and engineering, and turn what you learn about users into a clear, informed UX strategy that guides where we go next.

Translate research into an informed, evolving UX strategy that guides the roadmap and anchors design direction in real user needs.
Advocate for the user in prioritization and roadmap discussions, and define what "better" looks like through clear UX success metrics.
Run discovery workshops and share insights so research shows up where decisions are made like in design reviews, product planning, and standups embedding user knowledge from the get-go.

Deliver assets that span product and marketing: landing pages, visuals, campaign graphics, and interactive components.
