D2iQ is seeking a Senior UX Engineer to help build our D2iQ Kubernetes Platform. As a UX Engineer at D2iQ, you should be passionate about building usable and polished products and interfaces. D2iQ is an enterprise software company, selling to the Fortune 500, but the Founders come from consumer startups (Airbnb, Twitter) and value great design. We believe internal tools should be as beautiful and easy to use as the world's best-designed products.
You will be part of the Frontend Engineering team but work closely with Product Design. We are looking for someone who can think several steps ahead and is able to articulate their development decisions. We are building a world class enterprise team and are looking for someone with a great personality and who is eager to gain experience and be part of that mission.
We’re a team of multidisciplinary engineers and designers who span UI development, infrastructure design, user research, interaction design and visual design. We sketch a lot. We prototype a lot. We test and validate our designs. We write about our process and encourage each other to show off our work to the world. We believe that the technological demands of modern applications are becoming increasingly complex, and as such we have a duty to make the tools used to develop and deliver these applications simpler and easier to use.
This is a full-time, fully remote position. We accept applications from candidates currently residing and authorized to work in the USA, UK, and Germany. In Germany, you may work remotely or from our office in Hamburg.
