About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop a deep understanding of Sonatype’s multi-product developer platform, personas, and core *jobs to be done*.
Work closely with PMs and engineers to co-create user flows and experience direction — UX leads the thinking, but the outputs are created and iterated on together, not in isolation.
Map complex IA, developer workflows, permissions models, and multi-product interactions into clear, intuitive experience patterns.
Create user and product flows in Miro that reflect real constraints, technical realities, and team input.
Shape conceptual designs and UX architectures for new features and continuous, iterative improvements — not large-scale redesigns.
Build coded UX prototypes using Claude Code, VS Code, GitHub workflows, and front-end fundamentals (HTML/CSS/JS/React). These prototypes behave like real product experiences.
Ensure your prototypes are structured enough that AI tools can generate engineering specs, scope definitions, and implementation requirements directly from your code diffs.
Conduct lightweight, practical research (interviews, surveys, UAT, quick validation) when needed — and know when to proceed without research to keep momentum.
Collaborate early and often to align constraints, scope, design direction, and technical feasibility.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Significant experience in a Product company (not just services/agency experience)
Experience collaborating deeply with engineers; hybrid UX/engineering backgrounds are a strong plus.

Able to choose the right level of research for the moment — avoiding slow, academic processes.
Strong UX judgment, especially in complex technical domains.
Ability to simplify aggressively within real constraints.
Collaborative, positive, and non-defensive — thrives in evolving workflows.
Clear communicator who works well with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
