We own our entire technology stack \u2014 from storefronts and apps to automated fulfillment centers and last-mile logistics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">Within the Customer Experience (CUEX) domain, we own every touchpoint a customer interacts with, from the homepage to checkout and real-time order tracking across web, iOS, and Android. Our five storefronts run on a single product spine with localized content, pricing, and brand layers. We operate as a deliberately tight-knit, high-performing team where a Product Owner, Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, two Product Designers, and a dedicated full-stack engineering team ship fast, iterate constantly, and take full ownership of the end-to-end user journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">Most interface failures in e-commerce aren\u2019t layout issues \u2014 they are communication problems: what is said, in what order, and on which screen. As Senior Product Design Engineer, you will own the end-to-end design of all customer-facing surfaces across five markets. You will also manage our design system, Maia (our AI shopping assistant), and provide the design guidance that powers our automated coding workflows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"min-height:1.5em\">\n<h2>Why this role is exciting<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"min-height:1.5em\">\n<li>\n<p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>High-impact Group scope:<\/strong> Design every customer-facing touchpoint across web, iOS, and Android for five international markets, impacting millions of orders.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>True end-to-end ownership:<\/strong> Lead the complete lifecycle of product design \u2014 from initial problem definition and customer research to shipped A\/B tests and real-world performance analysis.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"min-height:1.5em\"><strong>AI-first execution:<\/strong> Rohlik is an AI-first company.
