Location : Remote (Zone B and Zone C only)

Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

About this role

Software practice is going through a once-in-a-lifetime change, brought about by powerful AI capabilities. This role will help Atlassian redefine software practice in an AI-native world. To that end, this Lead Designer will work with design, product and engineering leadership to envision how AI can transform key elements of the software-development life-cycle (SDLC), working with product managers and engineers to transform that vision into reality.

The ideal candidate will have experience designing tools for developers and / or across the SDLC as well as experience designing AI-powered features or products. The ideal candidate is a blend of technical depth with systems thinking, yet someone who obsesses over design details.

Help Atlassian solve long-time toil in the software development process, and bring craft and quality to developer tools!

What you'll do

Craft exceptional developer experiences : Design intuitive, efficient workflows that remove friction and streamline the software development lifecycle

Enhance workflows with AI : Identify opportunities where AI can transform tedious tasks or provide assistance, positioning it as a natural extension of the developer's toolkit

Prototype solutions : Create working concepts using your preferred tools—whether design software, front-end code, or AI-assisted development—to effectively communicate concepts and vision

Own the end-to-end process : Drive the design process from problem definition to final implementation for complex developer tools and AI-powered enhancements.

Partner with product and engineering : Collaborate closely with product to define problems and success metrics, and with engineering to work through constraints while ensuring we deliver a high-quality experience to customers

Understand and advocate for developers : Deeply research developer workflows and pain points, bringing their perspective into design decisions and ensuring solutions truly solve their problems

Balance technical and user needs : Find the sweet spot between technical constraints, AI capabilities, and user needs to create practical but impactful solutions

Translate complexity into clarity : Simplify complex technical concepts into intuitive interfaces that feel natural and effortless to use, whether they involve AI or traditional interactions

Iterate based on feedback : Continuously refine your designs through usability testing, developer feedback, and usage metrics to create increasingly effective solutions

Who you are

Experienced designer : You have 8+ years of product design experience with a focus on complex workflows, products, or systems

Compelling portfolio : You can demonstrate your craft through concrete examples that solved complex challenges and highlight the meaningful outcomes your work produced

Technical understanding : You grasp how developers work and think, whether through your own coding experience or close collaboration with engineering teams

Technical domain knowledge : You\'ve ideally worked on developer tools, technical products, or similarly complex domains, with a strong understanding of software development concepts

Clear presenter of ideas : You can articulate your thinking and design decisions clearly and in ways that resonate with both technical and non-technical audiences

Adaptable : You thrive in evolving environments, can adjust your approach as new information emerges, and iterate forward with imperfect information when needed
