Job Description

Do you want to shape the user experience of brand-new products from the very start? As our new Senior UX Designer in Stockholm, you'll lead the user experience for a new product, join early pre-studies, and help make sure what we design is what we build. Join us in creating a smarter, safer world!

Who is your future team?

At Axis, we've always pushed boundaries to innovate for a smarter, safer world. We do this by developing IP-based products for security and video surveillance. Now we're growing our Stockholm team.

You'll join a new cross-functional team working on a new product. The team includes firmware engineers and application developers who build high-level functionality together with frontend developers and UX designers. Our teams are small, agile and empowered. We support each other, reach our goals together and stay open to new ideas. We believe different perspectives are key to innovation.

You'll also be part of a virtual, cross-site UX team. There you'll share knowledge with fellow designers across Axis and keep your work in sync with other projects.

The team has Innovation Days, when you can try out your own ideas. We trust our teams to choose how they work, which tools they use and which ideas they explore. That freedom really empowers everyone in the team.

What you'll do as Senior UX Designer

You'll lead the user experience for our new products and make sure design and development stay aligned. You'll get involved early in feature investigations and pre-studies, building prototypes with developers in Figma and AI tools and testing them in real-world conditions. Over time, your work will become more AI-driven and cover more products across the Axis ecosystem. It's a chance to shape how people use our solutions worldwide.

UX at Axis goes well beyond software and screens. You'll work closely with hardware, so you'll think about the whole product experience, not just the interface. Understanding how Axis products and systems work together is key to great UX here. Through the cross-site UX team, you'll build that understanding and keep your work in sync with other projects across the company.

This role is on-site in Stockholm. You'll work side by side with firmware engineers, application developers and frontend developers. You'll design for both digital and physical products and test ideas in real-world conditions. Being in the office together makes it easier to prototype together, get your hands on the hardware, and turn ideas into designs quickly. You'll also travel to our Lund site about 5–6 times per year, since much of the work and product context is there.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the user experience for new products and make sure design and development follow it
• Take a design-first approach and explore new, innovative ideas
• Join feature investigations and pre-studies early, prototyping with developers and testing in real-world conditions
• Work closely with key stakeholders, including leadership, strategists, frontend and full-stack developers, and other designers
• Build a solid understanding of how Axis products and systems work together, and keep your work in sync with other projects through the cross-site UX team
• Work in an agile environment, iterating quickly while keeping quality high
• Take part in projects across the company and share your ideas for design improvements

Who are you?

You're curious and enjoy finding out how things work. In this role, that means actively learning how Axis systems and products fit together, which is essential for designing great experiences across our ecosystem. It also means learning how your work connects with other teams. This knowledge isn't always easy to find, so you're comfortable asking questions and seeking it out. You love a challenge and like solving problems as part of a team. You thrive in a culture of openness, creativity, trust, commitment, playfulness and encouragement.

You speak up for good design and are comfortable explaining the value of user experience to stakeholders. You build your own network of peers to discuss designs with, and you reach out to colleagues for the input you need, whether they're in Stockholm, Lund or at another Axis site. You take full ownership of your work and genuinely care about great UX.

We'd love to hear that you have:

• Several years of UX design experience, with broad experience across both digital and physical products
• Experience working in cross-functional teams
• A relevant university degree in, for example, interaction design, industrial design or service design, or equivalent experience
• Strong skills in Figma
• Hands-on experience prototyping with AI tools

Bonus points for:

Familiarity with networking, wireless technologies, camera surveillance or other relevant hardware products
