Junior Product Designer

THE ROLE - DESIGNING HOW HUMANS WORK WITH AI AGENTS Procurement is moving from dashboards people click through to agents that take entire workflows off their plate: sourcing, negotiations, market monitoring, supplier management. The agent does the work. The buyer makes the decisions. Designing that shift is one of the hardest UX problems in B2B today. We're not adding a chat sidebar. We're inventing how a non-technical procurement professional supervises a fleet of AI agents and trusts the output enough to act on it. There aren't established patterns for this. We're writing them. Junior designers who join now will have shipped work that defines a category before most of their peers have shipped at all. YOUR IMPACT In your first 12 months, you will: - Own real product work end-to-end - flows, screens, prototypes - for features that ship to paying customers within weeks, not quarters - Design alongside agentic capabilities: how agents surface their work, how humans review it, how trust gets built between the two - Build prototypes in Figma, in code, with AI tools, whatever communicates the idea fastest and best - Get your hands dirty in the codebase for last-mile polish: checking out PRs, tweaking interactions, making things feel right before they ship - Raise the visual and interaction bar across the product as engineering velocity scales 10x WHAT YOU BRING - 0-2 years of product design experience (strong internships count) with a portfolio of shipped work, ideally in B2B, complex workflows, or data-heavy products - Strong instinct for visual and interaction design. You ensure every screen adheres to design system guidelines and every user journey is optimized for clarity and ease of use - You understand the design-to-development lifecycle and value the efficiency of cross-functional alignment to ensure product integrity from ideation to launch - AI is already in your daily workflow. You use Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, v0, Figma Make or similar tools for ideation, prototyping, research, and getting to the answer faster - You think in systems, not just single screens. You care about how 20 features feel together - You operate well with ambiguity. We won't always know what to build, you'll help figure it out - You ship. Quality matters here, but stuck-in-Figma perfectionists won't be happy Bonus points if you: - Have prototyped in code (HTML, CSS, React) - Have designed for non-technical users in complex domains - Have opinions about how AI should show up in products beyond chat WHY JOIN NOW - Full ecosystem from day one. Product, engineering, design, and procurement domain experts in one room. No silos & no design backlog - Real ownership. You own features, not pixels of someone else's flow. Your name is on the work that ships - Speed. We ship weekly → your designs land in front of customers within days, not quarters - AI-native by default. Every designer here uses AI as core leverage. We give you access to whatever AI tool makes sense for your flow & actively encourage experimenting as much as possible - The stage matters. We are backed by Sequoia & Index, are already the category leader in DACH manufacturing AI & have big plans to only grow faster from here OUR BACKGROUND Tacto is building the intelligence layer that connects AI to the physical world of manufacturing, starting with procurement. AI is transforming every industry, but it stops at the factory gate. The knowledge that holds manufacturing together - part costs, suppliers, materials - is scattered across systems and people. Over 50% of a product's cost originates from suppliers, making procurement the single largest cost lever in manufacturing and the missing connection between the digital and the physical world. Yet it still runs on Excel and legacy systems. We're changing that with our Procurement Intelligence Platform, trusted by hundreds of companies running billions of Euros of material. Based in Munich, we are 100+ passionate builders who are in-office, with high
