Senior Visual Designer - Design Systems

Your role at Dynatrace

Join our Visual Design team within Design Foundations and help shape the visual systems that support the Dynatrace product and its broader ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of visual design, design language, and system-level thinking, ensuring cohesion, scalability, and clarity across all touchpoints.

Unlike product design system work or embedded roles for specific applications, this position focuses on foundational building blocks that enable consistency and self-service.

What You’ll Do

• Lead initiatives that bring coherence to our visual language and reduce fragmentation.
• Develop well-structured, reusable components that empower teams across the organization, beyond product.
• Create and maintain foundational systems such as:
• Diagramming standards
• Key asset libraries
• Color systems
• Shared visual assets supporting product storytelling, usability, and brand recognition
  

Your work will have a broad impact, ensuring that our design language scales effectively and delivers a unified experience across the Dynatrace ecosystem.

What Will Help You Succeed

• 6+ years of experience in UX and/or Visual Design, with a strong focus on design systems
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma, not just as a design tool but as a system-building platform
• A sharp eye for visual cohesion, consistency, and detail
• Experience in enterprise software design is highly valued
• Ability to connect design language layers to implementation and collaborate across disciplines
• Skilled in translating complex requirements into structured, actionable design outcomes
• Proven experience with scalable visual frameworks, documentation, and design system architecture principles
• Deep understanding of color systems, iconography, layout, typography, and motion, and how they harmonize into a coherent visual foundation
• Passion for staying ahead of emerging design trends and technologies
• Curiosity about AI, agent-based tooling, and automation to enhance design workflows and scalability

• Highlight the business challenge or user needs you addressed.
• Show the outcomes and impact of your work.
• Clearly describe your role and responsibilities, including the strategies, processes, and design decisions you used to navigate complexity.
