Descripción de la oferta
At PAILOT, we build an AI-powered Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) SaaS product for manufacturing companies. Our software helps manufacturers plan more reliably, react faster to change, and make better operational decisions on the shop floor. A typical problem might be: a machine goes offline, the priorities change, and the planner needs to understand which orders moved, why they moved, and what action is required next.Lea el resumen de esta oportunidad para comprender qué habilidades, incluidas las habilidades interpersonales relevantes y el dominio de paquetes de software, se requieren.We are hiring a Senior Product Engineer (Frontend/UI) to help us turn complex manufacturing workflows into clear, usable product experiences.This is a frontend-focused role for someone who combines strong engineering with product judgment. You should be comfortable building high-quality UI in Angular and TypeScript, but also thinking beyond implementation: What problem are we solving? Is this the right scope? Is there a simpler or more robust way to do it?You will work closely with product, engineering, and domain experts to ship product improvements that are useful, intuitive, and reliable in real customer environments.What you will doBuild and improve complex frontend workflows in Angular and TypeScriptTranslate rough product ideas and complex domain requirements into clear, maintainable interfacesImprove usability in areas where workflows are confusing, overloaded, or unnecessarily complexTake product problems from rough idea to production, ship iteratively, and improve the solution after releaseWork closely with product on scope, trade-offs, and solution designActively shape backend functionality where it affects the product experience, especially around APIs, data flows, and feature integration; implementation support is helpful but not the core focusImprove component structure and interaction consistency in workflows that have grown organicallySignificantly improve product usabilityContribute to a product that is used in operationally critical manufacturing environmentsWhat we are looking forMust-haveStrong Angular and TypeScript skills, including component design, stateful UI, forms/workflows, and maintainable frontend structureAbility to turn repeated workflow problems into reusable components and interaction patternsProduct judgment: you ask what user decision the UI needs to support before implementing the requested screenAbility to spot when a workflow hides important state, requires too many clicks, or makes the planner remember information the UI should showComfort working from incomplete specs by asking the right questions, proposing cuts, and validating assumptions earlyClear communication with product and engineering, including the ability to challenge unclear scope without becoming adversarialPragmatic execution: you know when to ship a small clean improvement, when to refactor first, and when to cut scopeHelpfulExperience connecting frontend features to backend services and APIsSome familiarity with Python, FastAPI, or similar backend frameworksExperience in B2B SaaS, operational software, or workflow-heavy productsExposure to manufacturing, APS, ERP, MES, production planning, or similar domainsFamiliarity with CI/CD, deployment, observability, or performance topicsGerman language skillsWe care more about product judgment, ownership, and strong execution than about checking every box.What this role is notNot a pure design roleNot a ticket factory roleNot a generalist full-stack role with equal depth expected across frontend, backend, DevOps, and architectureThis role is primarily about building strong product-facing frontend, improving workflows, and making complex functionality easier to understand and use.Example problems you might work onImproving a planning board used by production plannersDesigning workflows for resolving machine capacity conflictsMaking schedule changes after disruptions easier to understand and act onSimplifying interaction patterns in complex planning and execution scenariosTurning rough product needs into shippable, usable frontend improvementsWhat we offerHigh ownership and direct product impactA small, experienced team with short decision pathsRemote-first setup across Germany and Spain, with regular in-person meetups30 days of annual leaveLearning budget for professional developmentCompetitive salary based on experience and impactAbout PAILOTPAILOT is building software that helps manufacturers improve production planning and operational decision-making.
