At ThingsBoard, design is about creating clear product experiences for users who work with data, devices, and automation.

Users configure devices, build logic, monitor real-time data, and make operational decisions.

Your role is to make these workflows clear, usable, and powerful.

We’re looking for a Lead UI/UX Designer who wants ownership, works closely with Product and Engineering, and helps strengthen design inside ThingsBoard.

• Simplifying complex system logic into:
  • clear user flows;
  • understandable UI states;
  • predictable interactions.
• Working on configuration-heavy features:
  • rule chains;
  • automation logic;
  • device setup flows.
• Driving design decisions together with Product & Engineering.
• Building, maintaining, and scaling a design system for both designers and developers.

• Improving existing design processes within the team.

Why is this role interesting?

What we offer

• Competitive and transparent compensation based on your experience and impact.
