More than 2,000 organizations, including 70% of the Fortune 100 and 15 million software developers, rely on Sonatype to optimize their software supply chains.

Sonatype is evolving how product design works inside a modern engineering organization. We’re moving beyond static artifacts and toward designing in code, co-creating solutions with engineering and PM, and leveraging AI to accelerate iteration and handoff.

If you’re a product designer who thrives on understanding complex developer workflows, building real prototypes, and shaping UX with your team (not in an isolated design bubble), you’ll be right at home here.

What You Will Do:

• 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 and product flows in Miro that reflect real constraints, technical realities, and team input.

• Shape conceptual designs and UX architectures for new features and continuous, iterative improvements — not large-scale redesigns.
