We're looking for a creatively minded Web Developer
Background
Bone is a Melbourne based independent digital agency that builds better, from the inside out.
We deliver from strategy to execution by going in deep to shape, build and adapt digital platforms. By putting real people and living data at the heart of our work, we move users and take businesses further, faster. Being a boutique, high-quality, value-based strategic digital partner is Bone's reason for being.
And we're looking for a Senior User Interface Designer to help us deliver on that vision—and push it further.
To thrive in this newly created role, you'll need strong experience designing high-impact digital interfaces: websites, products, and ecommerce experiences that are built to perform. Cutting edge user interfaces backed by thoughtful systems designed to flex, backed by accessibility principles, and ready for build.
This is a hands-on role with close collaboration across UX, dev and production teams. You'll work on brand-forward projects, component-based systems, and conversion-focused user journeys.
Top Level Expectations
You'll bring maturity in interface design thinking, execution, and systemisation.
You'll bring a creative edge but won't forget the details—paddings, grids, flex states and hierarchy.
You'll be confident designing across accessibility, animation, interaction and responsive behaviour.
You'll understand how design decisions impact development effort—and client outcomes.
You'll contribute to design ops, tools, and rituals that make great work possible.
While not a branding role, you'll bring a deep understanding of brand fundamentals and visual identity. You'll need to know how to push brands further and translate them into aspirational ‘North Star' concepts and great User Interfaces.
Part of the Team
You'll be asked to fit within our established Shape, Build and Adapt workflow that stretches across our Strategic, Design, Production and Development teams. You will be required to pro-actively be part of the entire process. We want our team members to lean in, support and lift up the other parts of our business wherever possible.
You'll be embedded in our cross-functional team, working alongside UX, Development and Production to deliver thoughtful, beautiful, and effective digital experiences. This isn't a siloed design role. We expect you to be actively engaged across the project lifecycle, from early exploration through to post-launch iteration.
You'll collaborate closely with UX to ensure continuity between research, structure, and interface. You'll work hand-in-hand with developers to ensure your designs are buildable, scalable, and elegant under the hood. And you'll partner with Production to keep delivery humming, deadlines aligned, and expectations clear.
We want someone who is curious, generous with their thinking, and motivated by great outcomes. Someone who can confidently hold their own in critique, advocate for better ways of working, and help elevate our capabilities.
