Product Designer (UI/UX) (f/m/d)

Your mission

Shape how real estate professionals experience the future of urban development.
syte's software helps developers, planners, and investors make complex decisions about real estate projects. The interface sits between rich data and high-stakes choices - there's no playbook for this. You own how that experience feels.

As a Product Designer (UI/UX) (m/f/d) you will sit in discovery, understand the problem firsthand, and bring your own proposals for how things should work. You will build syte's design practice from the ground up - the system, the workflows, the standard.

• Product UX & Design System: You maintain and evolve the syte Design System. You own the end-to-end user experience from early concepts through release.
• Discovery & User Research: You join customer interviews and run usability tests alongside Product Managers. You analyze user behavior through analytics tools to identify friction and usage patterns. Your designs are grounded in observed behavior, not assumptions, and you validate ideas with prototypes before engineering invests.
• Tech Aware Design: You will work closely with the development team to understand constraints and new possibilities. You deliver designs that are informed by what's technically feasible, and push engineering when better UX is worth the investment.
• Consistency across teams: You make sure the app feels like one product – not a collection of features. As we scale to multiple teams, you ensure visual and interaction coherence across all product surfaces.
