UX Engineer 3 / Software Engineer 3

Location (HYBRID): Sunnyvale, CA

We are looking for a Mid–Senior Level UX Designer with strong visual and interaction design skills to help shape the next generation of data center orchestration and network automation experiences. In this role, you will design intuitive, scalable workflows for highly technical users such as network engineers, SREs, and operators who rely on our platform for intent-based networking, lifecycle automation, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

This is an opportunity to design for a complex domain—topology management, multi-vendor configurations, telemetry, policy workflows—and transform technical processes into simple, predictable, and efficient experiences.

Responsibilities

· Develop and evolve design systems, reusable components, and interaction patterns that support complex orchestration and network lifecycle workflows.

· Ensure consistency and clarity across topology views, configuration screens, telemetry dashboards, and troubleshooting tools.

· Partner with UX Research to conduct usability tests with network engineers and operators.

· Use research insights, product strategy, and industry trends (automation, network assurance, AI-assisted operations) to inform design decisions.

· Balance user needs with business goals, technical constraints, and roadmap priorities.

· Work closely with Product Managers, Technical Architects, and Engineering teams to align on problem definition, requirements, constraints, and success criteria.

· Influence cross-functional stakeholders and advocate for UX strategy across the product lifecycle.

· Provide thoughtful critique and mentorship to designers to maintain a high quality bar.

Basic Qualifications

· 6+ years of visual design and UX/product design experience.

· Experience designing for complex enterprise applications, dashboards, or tools (networking, cloud, DevOps, security, or infrastructure).

· Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end UX work: problem framing, workflows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished visuals.

· Ability to collaborate with PMs, architects, and engineers to understand domain complexities and translate them into intuitive user experiences.

· Proficiency with industry-standard design tools (Figma preferred; Sketch, Illustrator, Photoshop, or similar tools also relevant).

Please include a portfolio, website, or relevant work samples—with access instructions if needed.

Preferred Qualifications

· Master’s degree in Design, HCI, Computer Science, or a related field.

· 4+ years of experience working in a cross-functional, technically complex organization, ideally with infrastructure or networking teams.

· Experience implementing and contributing to design systems in an iterative development environment.

· Deep understanding of visual and interaction design foundations, accessibility, and scalable design patterns.

· Exposure to technical domains such as:

o Network topologies, configuration workflows

o Intent-based networking concepts

o Telemetry visualizations, alerts, and observability

o Role-based access, multi-tenancy, large data models

Additional Skills:

Cloud Architectures, Cross Domain Knowledge, Design Thinking, Development Fundamentals, DevOps, Distributed Computing, Microservices Fluency, Full Stack Development, Security-First Mindset, Solutions Design, Testing & Automation, User Experience (UX)
