Staff UX Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of Sonatype’s multi-product developer platform, personas, and core Jobs To Be Done.
• Work closely with PMs and engineers to co-create user flows and experience direction - UX leads the thinking, but the outputs are created and iterated on together, not in isolation.
• Map complex IA, developer workflows, permissions models, and multi-product interactions into clear, intuitive experience patterns.
• Create user, product, and system flow diagrams in Miro that reflect real constraints, technical realities, and team input.
• Shape conceptual designs and UX architectures for new features and continuous, iterative improvements.
• Build coded UX prototypes using Claude Code, VS Code, GitHub workflows, and front-end fundamentals (HTML/CSS/JS/React).
• Ensure your prototypes are structured enough that AI tools can generate engineering specs, scope definitions, and implementation requirements directly from your code diffs.
• Conduct lightweight, practical research (interviews, surveys, UAT, quick validation) when needed - and know when to proceed without research to keep momentum.
• Collaborate early and often to align constraints, scope, design direction, and technical feasibility.
