The digital experience industry is being disrupted. AI is changing the rules of the game. We refuse to fall behind. That’s why we’re transforming our flagship product for the AI era.
We’re looking for someone with strong design foundations (5+ years of experience as UX/Product Designer), who is looking for more experience, rapid growth, tackling complex challenges and who is eager for implementing AI in both product and processes.
What will you do?
You’ll own end-to-end design part on initiatives that Product managers choose as the most valuable bets for partners/customers. You’ll work in a product trio setup (PM/UX/DEV) and you’ll drive the initiative from very rough idea to shaped solution that can be implemented. You’ll frame and shape the work in fixed time, variable scope mode (inspired by ShapeUp).
That’s why we need someone who can handle complex, blurry problems, frame them well, prioritize them heavily, do hard trade-offs, handle imperfection and shape them into something tangible under tight constraints. You will be making hard design decisions, facilitating workshops, designing UI interactions, AI conversational flows, AI processes or multiagentic systems.
Our company strategy is Customer Intimacy – to be in close contact with our customers and partners (digital agencies) and listen to their needs. So, you will be involved heavily in research. Doing in-depth interviews, concept-testings, and usability testings with live AI prototypes. The tricky part is that we’re B2B2B, so we need to keep in mind many other personas (within digital agencies and customers) than just a final user.
- Type of employment: HPP (no IČO)
- Start Date: April 2026 or later
- Form: Hybrid (min 2 days on site/up to 3 days remote. No full-remote)
- Language: English (Speaking fluency B2/C1)
What you’ll work on?
You will work on our flagship product Xperience by Kentico (XbyK). XbyK is digital experience platform (DXP). You can think of it as a content management system (CMS) like Wordpress, but commercial and much more robust and complex, packed with many advanced features like multichannel management, e-mail marketing, marketing automation, e-commerce, analytics etc.
Kentico platforms run more than 90 000 websites around the globe. Our typical customers are banks, hospitals, industrial companies etc. Most of them from US, but some of them are Czech too – e.g. Komerční banka. We don’t design the websites themselves, but mainly the admin interface of the platform – The place where marketers manage their content for websites, write articles, launch e-mail campaigns, manage e-shop items etc.
Why join us?
If you ask designers at Kentico, chances are they’ll speak about their work with real excitement and enthusiasm. There are many good reasons why that is. If you join us, this is what you can expect:
- High autonomy and strong ownership. You’ll have the freedom to define how problems are solved. We care about impact and outcomes, not activity. If something doesn’t work or you see missed potential, you’re empowered to change it.
- Rapid growth. Growth isn’t a perk here — it’s a crucial part of how we work. We have a unique and very generous benefit called “Innovation time”. This means that you can spend 20% of your working time on experimenting with AI, learning new skills, personal and professional development, internal initiatives, and work-related side projects. We learn from each other through design critiques twice a week, knowledge sharing, internal workshops, and support for external courses, meetups, and conferences. We invest heavily in AI and actively explore how it reshapes the role of designers, giving you the space to try new tools, bring AI into the product, experiment, and grow alongside 6 other experienced teammates.
- Sustainable challenge. Kentico sits in a very rare, sweet spot between challenging and sustainable environment. We’re far more dynamic than a corporate environment, yet much more stable and sustainable than a startup. You’ll work on complex, high-impact problems that shape the product, with a strong emphasis on research and thoughtful decision-making. Expect a wide variety of challenges across a complex product, plenty of prioritization and design process work, and a generalist role that stays meaningful, impactful, and never routine. At the same time, at sustainable pace.
- Amazing work culture. Our culture is still heavily influenced by No Rules Rules (book about Netflix culture) that was key inspiration for our founder Petr Palas. We strive for championship culture, which is the top performance AND relationships at the same time. Everyday, we live values Own It, Make an Impact, Experiment and evolve, and we really mean it. And this creates unique blend of friendly, supportive and inspiring people. But don’t take my word for it. Reach out to someone from Kentico and find out for yourself.

- Unlimited vacation and sick days – we offer 5 weeks base vacation. But we believe that refreshed designers work better than tired. So, you can take more than that. Paid of course.
