Lead UX Engineer

Location: on-site/remote aligned with European CET/CEST
Reporting to: VP Product
Start date: ASAP
At OTee, we’re rethinking industrial automation from the ground up. Our momentum is driven by a clear market need across geographies and a strong support from strategic, international investors. If you've been looking for a place where your work can shape an entire industry (and where you'll feel the energy of real progress every day) this is it. You’ll be joining a lean but growing team that values curiosity, technical excellence, and impact.

💡About the Role

As the Lead UX Engineer at OTee, you’ll be the driving force behind the quality and speed of our user-facing product development. We’re embracing a hybrid product-led growth (PLG) strategy, putting the product at the heart of our growth. Your mission? Craft a user experience that users can’t help but fall in love with. You will take full ownership of the upstream product experience - from user journey design to prototyping, interaction design, and translating mockups into production-ready frontend implementations.
Today, much of this work is handled by the VP of Product (design and prototyping) and a strong full-stack developer (frontend implementation). With you on board, we’re looking to massively increase both the quality of our UX and the velocity of our frontend output. You’ll be empowered to use modern tools - including AI-assisted design workflows - to take our frontend capabilities to the next level.
This role is ideal for someone who’s obsessed with product quality and design craft, but who can also think and code in components. Whether you lean more toward UX or engineering, we care less about your title and more about your ability to own the frontend experience end-to-end.

💪 Key Responsibilities

- Own the end-user experience of our web application - from idea to polished product
- Create high-fidelity prototypes and design flows that reflect real use cases and user needs
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering during all steps from mockups to production UI
- Ensure design consistency and quality through scalable component systems and style guides
- Leverage AI-powered design and dev tools (e.g. rapid prototyping, code generation) to accelerate iteration
- Audit and improve existing UI for usability, responsiveness, and accessibility
- Drive decisions around frontend stack evolution
- Champion a user-first mindset while staying pragmatic about delivery and timelines

🔎 What We're Looking For

At OTee, we're building a world-class team - and that means we're looking for people who don’t just meet the requirements, but exceed them. You should be driven to stay on top of the latest technologies and methodologies, eager to learn rapidly, and capable of producing high-quality results under evolving demands. This role demands speed, precision, and a constant hunger for improvement. If you're excited by the idea of setting new standards in industrial automation UX, you’ll fit right in.

Education & Experience

- ~4 years of experience in UX/UI design and/or frontend development
- Proven track record of shaping product experience in a cross-functional team setting
- Experience working with component-based web frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, etc.)
- Background in industrial, developer, or design tooling is a plus but not required
- Comfortable owning the end-to-end frontend process

(Technical) Skills

We’re not dogmatic about your stack, as long as you have foundational frontend expertise and are willing to build on the tools we use. That said, relevant skills include:
- Frontend frameworks: Strong in at least one modern stack, and able to evaluate tradeoffs of others
- Prototyping: Skilled with tools like Figma, Framer, or other interactive design platforms
- Design systems: Experience building or maintaining scalable, reusable UI components
- CSS systems: Tailwind, CSS Modules, or other modern strategies
- AI/automation: Comfortable with or excited about using AI tools to streamline design/dev workflows
- Tooling: Familiarity with modern frontend build systems (e.g. Vite, Webpack), version control, and basic TypeScript

🎯 Personal Qualities

- You thrive in ambiguity. We’re a small team building big things - processes are light, and decisions are fast. You’re comfortable figuring things out, even when there’s no playbook.
- You finish what you start. This role is critical to our product velocity. You’re someone who sees things through to the finish line and takes pride in delivering real, working outcomes, not just concepts or ideas.
- You care about the details. Whether it’s the polish of a button animation or the structure of a design system, you want the product to feel right - and you’re not satisfied until it does.
- You earn your influence by delivering results. At OTee, we welcome critical thinking and strong opinions, but they’re most valuable when backed by execution. We value those who don’t just spot problems, but solve them.
- You’re a team player. We work hard, move fast, and lean on each other through both the wins and the chaos. This role will be intense, but also rewarding, collaborative, and full of laughter (and the occasional cry).
- You’re here for impact. You want to be part of the ambitious journey to shape the future of how humans automate the world.

🤝 What We Offer

- The opportunity to take part in building a product with global impact
- What may be the biggest challenge of your professional career
- A competitive benefits package with stock options
- Being part of an exceptional team, with experts in their respective fields
- An honest work culture where we can admit failures, ask for help and be safe
