Job description

About the role

We’re looking for a UX Engineer / Design Engineer to help build and refine Matic’s mobile app experience.

This role sits at the intersection of design and engineering. You’ll work closely with product designers and engineers to turn thoughtful interaction concepts into polished, production-ready UI.

The Matic app is where users interact with real-time autonomy — from maps and cleaning controls to robot status and feature configuration. Your work will help make complex robotic intelligence feel intuitive, trustworthy, and beautifully executed.

This is an entry-to-mid-level role with strong growth potential for someone who cares about craft, interaction quality, and building products that live beyond the screen.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship high-quality UI in Matic’s mobile app
• Translate Figma designs and prototypes into production-ready components
• Implement smooth animations and thoughtful micro-interactions
• Help visualize complex robot behaviors (mapping, obstacle detection, cleaning states)
• Collaborate closely with product design to refine interaction details
• Partner with design, software, algorithms, and hardware teams to ensure accurate real-time feedback
• Contribute to and help evolve a scalable design system in code
• Participate in feature planning and iteration discussions

What You Bring

• 1–4+ years of experience in front-end or mobile development
• Experience building product-facing UI (mobile preferred)
• Familiarity with Rust and/or Python, iOS and/or Android is required.
• Strong attention to detail in spacing, hierarchy, motion, and interaction
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, collaborative environment
• Curiosity about connected devices and how software interfaces with hardware
• Clear communication skills and a willingness to give and receive feedback

Portfolio (Required)

We’re especially interested in projects that demonstrate strong visual taste, attention to detail, and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling graphics. Work that shows range across brand, marketing, product visuals, or storytelling is particularly valuable.
