Ux Designer-Jobs in Deutschland

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.

Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.

Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles.

As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.

We have a people‑centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.

Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.

In addition to our Planetscope constellation, which semi‑autonomously creates a near‑daily scan of all of Earth’s landmass, we operate satellites that capture high‑resolution (SkySat and Pelican) and hyper‑spectral (Tanager) data. These are so‑called tasked satellites: they take captures in response to specific imaging requests. Our agile and interdisciplinary team builds the systems that make it possible for our customers to order and obtain data from these satellites.

In this role, you will maintain and extend Planet’s Tasking systems, which bridge our customers and many of our internal systems. This means you will be working on systems that externally provide comfortable and reliable interfaces (API & web) for our customers to task and receive our data, and internally act as an integration point between diverse systems (mission control, accounting, imaging processing and quality control). The ideal candidate is positive with a resilient, can‑do attitude.

This is a full‑time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin office 3 days per week.

• Work closely with product managers and designers to create user‑centered products.
• Drive initiatives through their whole life cycle, from exploration and design, over implementation and quality to release and maintenance.

• 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience in driving technical excellence, including system architecture, technical debt strategy, and reviewing complex implementations, as the technical leader across full‑stack systems.
• Experience in making, documenting, and communicating architectural decisions across a broad technical domain.
• Ability to cultivate cross‑functional synergy by fostering transparency across Product, Design, and Engineering.
• Ability to drive technical discovery under high ambiguity, translating high‑level stakeholder needs into actionable requirements and documentation.
• Working proficiency in English, the language of the company.

• Experience in mentoring junior engineers or leading working groups to elevate team capability.
• Ability to manage infrastructure and services deployed on major Cloud Platforms (e.g., GCP, AWS).
• Familiarity with DevOps tooling, including CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure‑as‑code (e.g., Terraform).
• Familiarity with monitoring and alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Sentry) to ensure service health.
• Advanced skills in designing, developing, and maintaining complex distributed, full‑stack systems.
