Senior Design Engineer, Design SystemNew$42K–$146K

The opportunity

Celonis is the global leader in Process Intelligence and the pioneer of Process Mining technology. As one of the world’s fastest-growing enterprise SaaS companies, we are changemakers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

What you'll do

  • 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.

What they're looking for

  • 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.
