Your Mission 

Are you a talented and passionate Product Designer with a strong frontend and UX engineering mindset, looking for an exciting opportunity in the realm of online marketplaces? Join our dynamic team of 7 designers, 4 researchers and UX writers and help shape the future of the most well-known car marketplace in Switzerland within a product team.
We're searching for a data-driven and user-centric designer to make the AutoScout24 car search and selling user experience even more exciting!

Specifically, you will:

• Leverage data and user research insights to define problems to solve, inform design decisions and create highly desirable and consistent user experiences
• Act as a bridge between product, research, and engineering—translating ideas into tangible experiences by creating interactive prototypes and leveraging frontend or no-code tools to validate concepts through testing and live experiments

• Lead and contribute to complex, cross-functional product initiatives, including collaboration on our evolving design system and component library. Bring a holistic thinking mindset to ensure alignment between design, code, and product vision
• Work in an agile environment, balancing discovery and delivery in a fast-paced continuous cycle, matching desirability and feasibility in our technical environments
• Prepare, run, and analyse usability tests (independently and with research support). Apply findings to iterate quickly and validate hypotheses, reducing risk through experimentation
• Stay current with how AI is transforming UX and development workflows—integrating the use of AI, no-code/low-code tools, and automation into your daily practice

Your responsibilities will evolve as we grow.
