Design Engineer (f/m/d)

What to expect

OH-SO opposite of SO-SO - we craft things that create OHs on our clients’ faces,

• we build and ship fast
• we are proud about our work
• we love to deliver elegant solutions
• we are honest (sometimes too much)
• we are small (but our ambitions are big), 
• but with a lot of experience.

We are seeking a talented Design Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will rapidly prototype new user experiences and products, iterating quickly to turn ideas into testable concepts and compelling stories. You will enhance design definitions and establish motion guidelines, prioritizing beauty, performance, accessibility, responsiveness, and usability. You will work closely with designers and engineers, collaboratively focusing on the end-user’s needs and experiences, and find innovative ways to foster the dialogue between design and engineering.
