Role Description

This is a contractual Mid Product Designer role based in Sydney, NSW. The role offers a hybrid work setup, allowing for a combination of in-office presence and work-from-home flexibility.

Design at UntilNow is AI-augmented and outcome-driven. We expect designers to use AI tools as a natural part of their workflow: from early problem framing and research synthesis through to prototyping and iteration. You will craft user-centric designs, conduct user research, apply design thinking principles, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative and impactful product solutions for startups and scaleups.

What You'll Do

• Own product design work end to end: partner with strategists, developers, and clients to define problems, explore solutions, validate concepts, and ship designs that move the needle for our clients
• Use AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to accelerate your workflow: draft flows, surface edge cases, synthesise research, and rapidly explore solution spaces before moving into Figma
• Conduct and synthesise user research to inform design decisions, treating research as a velocity tool rather than a blocker
• Prototype concepts quickly using a combination of Figma, AI-assisted code tools, and lightweight testing methods
• Translate validated concepts into Figma for full state coverage, design system alignment, and developer handoff
• Contribute to UntilNow's design culture by sharing prompts, patterns, templates, and learnings with the broader team
• Collaborate directly with developers through the build process, staying involved through launch and iteration

Qualifications

• Experience as a product designer working on complex, systems-heavy products (B2B, SaaS, or fintech experience is a plus)
• Strong skills in visual design, interaction design, and creating user-friendly interfaces
• Active use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as part of your design or research workflow
• Proficiency in Figma as your primary design tool
• Experience with design thinking methodologies to approach and solve complex problems
• Proficient in user research and UX research to gather insights and inform decision-making
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders
• Strong communication and presentation skills to articulate design ideas and rationale
• Experience working in agile or similar collaborative environments
• Bachelor's degree in Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field is preferred

Nice to Haves

• Comfort with basic front-end concepts (components, states, responsive behaviour) and tools like Cursor or Claude Code
• Experience with design systems and extending shared component libraries
• Experience planning and running customer interviews or usability tests
• Familiarity with AI-first product patterns (automation defaults, progressive disclosure of complexity, intelligent defaults)
• Portfolio that demonstrates strong product thinking, not just visual polish
