UI Designer / Frontend Developer – Design Systems (m/f/d)

nuwacom is a company focused on creating an adaptive, AI-native workspace that facilitates collaboration and productivity. They are seeking a UI Designer / Frontend Developer to build and expand their design system, transforming design specifications into reusable components while ensuring quality and consistency across products.

Responsibilities:

• Systematically build and expand our design system - evolve existing approaches with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui into a consistent, scalable system that thinks beyond individual components
• Develop reusable UI components with clear APIs, clean documentation, and high quality standards - from buttons to complex data grids
• Transform UX concepts into production-ready components - from Figma designs, but also from Lovable prototypes and Claude Code outputs. You are the bridge between design vision and technical reality
• Work closely with the Head of Product Design and Head of Product to ensure the design system reflects and supports the product strategy
• Ensure adoption within the development team - you make sure the design system doesn’t gather dust in documentation but is consistently used in daily code
• Safeguard UI quality through reviews, testing, and systematic consistency checks across all product areas
• Help shape a new design process that natively integrates AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and Lovable - vibe coding is not a buzzword for us but lived practice
• Anchor design system rules in AI-supported workflows - e.g., through skills, prompts, and configurations so that AI-generated code also meets our standards
• Optimize performance, responsiveness, accessibility, and code quality - especially where AI-generated code meets production requirements
