Senior UI/UX Designer - Configura

About the company
You may not recognize a Configuran in the street- we come in all shapes, forms and personalities and we certainly wouldn’t dream of instituting a company dress code- but with six offices on three continents, we’re one Configura. International relations, challenging tasks where we expect you to solve assignments in a new and innovative way, as well as a close-knit group of people that enjoy having fun together- these are just some of the things we can offer you.

Configura works with parametric configuration. We develop software to draw spaces in 2D and 3D for leading companies within the commercial furniture, material handling and kitchen and bath industries. In the background of the software, prices and configurations are automatically calculated so the user can focus on the design. Thanks to our intelligent software and largely automated processes we contribute towards less waste creation and a more sustainable way of working in our targeted industries. We are a global company with customers in 10 countries and users in more than 100. Configura is headquartered in Linköping (Sweden), with four wholly owned subsidiaries in Grand Rapids (Michigan, USA), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Shenzhen (China), Berlin (Germany) and a small office in Gothenburg (Sweden).
