At ThingsBoard, design is about creating clear product experiences for users who work with data, devices, and automation.

Users configure devices, build logic, monitor real-time data, and make operational decisions.

Your role is to make these workflows clear, usable, and powerful.

We’re looking for a Lead UI/UX Designer who wants ownership, works closely with Product and Engineering, and helps strengthen design inside ThingsBoard.

What you’ll be responsible for

  • Designing data-heavy interfaces:
    • dashboards;
    • analytics;
    • monitoring systems.
  • Simplifying complex system logic into:
    • clear user flows;
    • understandable UI states;
    • predictable interactions.
  • Working on configuration-heavy features:
    • rule chains;
    • automation logic;
    • device setup flows.
  • Driving design decisions together with Product & Engineering.
  • Building, maintaining, and scaling a design system for both designers and developers.
  • Improving existing design processes within the team.

What we expect from your experience

  • A strong portfolio demonstrating a thoughtful approach to solving design challenges.
  • Proven experience building, implementing, and scaling complex design systems from scratch.
  • Ability to work closely with developers and a solid understanding of technical constraints.
  • Deep understanding of UX/UI principles, laws, and design patterns.
  • Experience establishing and evolving design processes within a team.
  • Experience in hiring, onboarding, mentoring, and growing designers.
  • Proven track record of managing a design team.
  • Strong skills in presenting and defending design decisions to stakeholders.
  • The ability to accept constructive feedback.

Nice-to-have

  • Experience with rapid and iterative prototyping using AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude Design).
  • Experience working with product metrics
  • Experience conducting user research and usability testing to drive product improvements
  • Familiarity with Material Design 2 and an understanding of Angular
  • Experience working on complex B2B systems

Why is this role interesting?

  • Real complex product, not marketing UI
  • Direct impact on how users understand and act on data
  • High ownership: you influence product decisions, not just UI
  • Work closely with strong engineering team on system-level problems

What we offer

  • Competitive and transparent compensation based on your experience and impact.
  • Meaningful product challenges and clear ownership.
  • Close collaboration with Product and Engineering.
  • Supportive team environment with clear goals and feedback.
  • Career growth with regular performance reviews.
  • Medical insurance or compensation program.
  • 17 vacation days and 10 sick leaves.
  • Corporate English classes.
  • Comfortable office in Kyiv, Podil, with a flexible schedule.
  • Work on a global open-source product with 21k+ GitHub stars.
