Senior Design Engineer, Design Operations: AI-Powered Design PlatformPosted today$42K–$146K

The opportunity

Celonis is the trusted platform to industrialize Enterprise AI. At our core is the Celonis Context Model — which combines process data, business knowledge, and intelligence into a living digital twin of the enterprise that AI can actually understand, turning AI's operational blind spots into operational clarity.

What you'll do

  • Design and build internal tools and automations with strong UX, so the design: org's own tooling is genuinely usable, not just functional, using TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, APIs, and the Figma plugin/REST APIs.

  • Engineer the agent pipeline: stand up and maintain the MCP servers, context pipelines, and integrations that connect the design system to AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Copilot).

  • Automate governance-as-code: build CI checks, release automation, and policy enforcement so standards are guardrails in the pipeline rather than docs nobody reads.

  • Own and govern the AI tool stack: evaluate, integrate, license, and roll out tools, and partner with security and legal on data/IP review and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

  • Instrument and report on impact: build telemetry and dashboards for design-system and AI-tool adoption, cycle time, and quality that leadership actually uses.

  • Collaborate with designers, PMs, and engineers to derive and evolve the: design system and the workflows around it.

What they're looking for

  • Build prompt and template infrastructure, reusable prompts, specs, and: starter kits, so AI-assisted quality is consistent across the org.
  • Set tooling and operations standards, lead platform initiatives, and mentor: designers and engineers across the practice.
  • Around 5–8 years across design engineering, front-end, design-systems: tooling, or platform/internal-tools engineering, with genuine design/UX sensibility, not engineering-only.
  • Good UX instincts: you can design a usable tool and translate ambiguous needs into thoughtful solutions, with a foundation in HTML/CSS and front-end craft.
