Senior Design Systems Specialist / Product Designer (all genders)

OH-SO

WHAT TO EXPECT * Design product experiences and interfaces across web and digital platforms, from early concepts to shippable detail. * Work within and contribute to design systems — components, tokens, patterns — keeping consistency across products and brands. * Use AI tools throughout your process: research synthesis, ideation, rapid prototyping, content and asset generation. * Collaborate directly with strategists, creatives and engineers as one team, not across a handoff. * Present and defend your design decisions to peers and clients with clear reasoning. * Take ownership of your work end to end, from brief to launch. YOUR COMPETENCIES * 0–2 years of experience in product, UI or UX design (internships, freelance or junior roles all count) with a portfolio that shows real thinking, not just polish. * Strong fundamentals in visual and interaction design: layout, typography, hierarchy, colour. * Confident in Figma, including components, variants and basic token/variable usage. * Experience in AI (coding, generative images, workflow optimization) * Genuine interest in AI tools for design and product work, and a willingness to learn new ones fast. * Curiosity about design systems and how they scale across products and teams. * Good written and spoken in English and German. * Based in Germany or the Czech Republic (required). WHAT YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO * A seat at the table from day one: real projects, real clients, real ownership, not just production tickets. * Mentorship from senior designers and design engineers who'll push your craft and your systems thinking. * A team that treats AI as a shared obsession, not a mandate. Weekly show & tells where everyone shares what they've found, including the failures. * Studios in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Prague, and a genuinely small, senior team instead of a large hierarchy to climb. * Room to shape how design systems and AI-assisted design work at OH-SO. This practice is still being built, and your voice counts. If you're early in your design career and want to grow fast inside an AI-native team, working on real products for iconic brands, we'd love to hear from you.
