Responsibilities

Your Future Team

You’ll join the Atlassian Design System (ADS) team, where we craft the design language that powers every Atlassian experience. In this role, you’ll bring deep visual design and systems craft to a quickly evolving, AI-native design system, ensuring our brand is expressed with coherence and finesse, for interfaces being built by humans and agents.

Responsibilities

• Design for AI-native, adaptive interfaces: Systemise design language decisions to help people and agents generate consistent, accessible UI while preserving Atlassian’s brand expression and product clarity.

• Turn ambiguity into scalable system solutions: De-risk complex visual and systems problems through high-fidelity explorations, functional prototypes, and clear recommendations that account for edge cases, accessibility, and implementation constraints.

• Partner deeply across disciplines: Work with product design, engineering, content design, brand, and platform partners to translate emerging system concepts into practical guidance, specifications, and reusable capabilities.

• Raise the bar for craft, context, and adoption: Model strong visual systems judgment in critique, create clear usage guidance, and support product teams as they adopt new ADS capabilities with confidence and consistency.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in product design, visual systems, and design systems

• Demonstrated excellence in visual design craft, including visual communication and UI design

• Hands-on experience designing and delivering design tokens, themed systems, and scalable component libraries

• Strong systems thinking with the ability to take conceptual direction and turn it into structured, well-documented, and production-ready designs

• Practical AI fluency, including frequent use of AI tools for daily exploration, prototyping, or workflow acceleration – and ability to collaborate with agents to improve design quality of agentic output
