Any secunet Location. Involves infrequent travel.

We’re looking for a seasoned frontend engineer to pioneer our enterprise-wide Design System as the team’s first full-time member. In this highly impactful role, you’ll lay the foundation for a scalable, resilient, and forward-looking UI component library built on React. You’ll take ownership of the design system’s architecture, maintenance, and strategic direction, shaping both its technical and cultural evolution.

Your work will bridge the gap between design and development: you’ll collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams within and beyond our organization to foster an open, inclusive, and collaborative design culture. This is your chance to drive long-term impact through systematic thinking and hands-on implementation – with plenty of autonomy and creative freedom.

The Software Factory is secunet’s innovation program, designed to provide the technical means to develop entirely new product classes. It consists of a team of highly motivated software engineers focused on cutting-edge, security-focused shared components, and a DevSecOps platform that supports the entire lifecycle of our products. This is a dynamic and evolving team, offering exciting challenges and opportunities for growth.

• Foster a collaborative, Open Source-inspired culture around the Design System
• Contribute to the long-term strategy and support the launch of new initiatives
• Research emerging UI trends to keep the framework future-ready
• Align priorities across teams and mediate between different needs

• Extensive experience in frontend development
• Experience with UI components and design systems
• Passion for clean, reusable, and well-documented UI components
• Background in maintenance and a strong affinity for open-source collaboration
• Excellent communication skills to align needs and co-create solutions
• Strategic mindset and interest in sustainable technology design
