Responsibilities

  • Develop a deep understanding of Sonatype’s developer platform, personas, and core Jobs To Be Done.
  • Co-create user flows, experience direction, information architecture, developer workflows, permissions models, and multi-product interaction patterns with PMs and engineers.
  • Create user, product, and system flow diagrams in Miro.
  • Shape conceptual designs and UX architectures for new features and iterative improvements.
  • Build coded UX prototypes using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Claude Code, VS Code, and GitHub workflows.
  • Structure prototypes so AI tools can generate engineering specifications, scope definitions, and implementation requirements from code diffs.
  • Conduct lightweight interviews, surveys, usability testing, UAT, and quick validation when appropriate.
  • Facilitate design sessions, provide UX reviews and guidance, coach engineers on UX fundamentals and accessibility, and contribute to the UX Guild and design-system alignment.

Requirements

  • Significant experience designing enterprise software or developer platforms, typically 10–15+ years.
  • Deep collaboration experience with engineers; hybrid UX and engineering experience is a strong plus.
  • Experience with lightweight research methods such as interviews, surveys, usability tests, and UAT.
  • Comfort building working UX prototypes with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React.
  • Familiarity with GitHub, version control, IDE and AI code-editor pairings, and AI-assisted prototyping workflows.
  • Strong UX judgment in complex technical domains and the ability to simplify experiences within technical constraints.
  • Clear communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Fluency in spoken and written English.
  • Curiosity about AI and willingness to use it for structure, exploration, prototyping, and iteration.

Benefits

  • Influence UX across a large multi-product developer platform.
  • Prototype in real code environments and shape design-engineering collaboration.
  • Help develop an AI-accelerated design workflow.
  • Participate in a collaborative UX Guild focused on quality rather than heavy process.
