Job Summary:
Atlassian is a distributed-first company that empowers its employees to work from anywhere. They are seeking a Principal Product Designer to lead the design strategy for the Teamwork Graph, collaborating with cross-functional teams to create user-centered experiences and drive the platform's capabilities.
Responsibilities:
• Craft and communicate a clear design vision for Teamwork Graph and the platform capabilities built on top of it, ensuring they deliver value across user, admin, and developer experiences.
• Lead conceptual and systems design work that turns graph-powered capabilities into intuitive, extensible product experiences, and sets direction for teams across Atlassian.
• Drive high-craft execution from early framing through to detailed interaction and visual design, partnering closely with product and engineering to land cohesive, durable solutions.
• Identify and shape new opportunities using product signals, customer insight, and systems thinking; help prioritize the work that unlocks the most leverage across the platform.
• Collaborate with other designers across Teamwork Platform to evolve patterns, tooling, and interaction models that work across surfaces, while staying grounded in the unique needs of Graph, Growth, and Data Experiences.
• Build alignment across disciplines and organizations; help teams design with systems in mind and connect their work to the platform capabilities underneath.
• Contribute to a strong, inclusive design culture by mentoring peers, shaping critique, and modeling thoughtful, scalable design practice.
• Stay current on platform UX trends, distributed systems, and graph-based design patterns, and bring that perspective to how we evolve our capabilities over time.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 10+ years of experience designing software products, with a strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality, end-to-end work across complex systems and platforms.
• Experience designing for platform capabilities at scale, including developer tools, distributed systems, extensibility models, or data-rich surfaces.
• Proven success designing for enterprise-grade environments with high availability, security, and performance requirements at the scale of a multi-product platform serving millions of users.
• Demonstrated ability to translate abstract technical concepts into clear, intuitive, and durable user experiences.
• Strong systems thinking and strategic framing skills. You know how to identify leverage, shape direction in ambiguous spaces, and advocate for the right outcomes.
• You have a strong grasp of complex technical systems. You use that understanding to design effectively, collaborate deeply with engineering, and bring clarity to ambiguous problems.
• Excellent communicator (presentations, written, and verbal) and collaborator with strong executive presence. You’ve built strong cross-functional relationships and can align partners across design, product, engineering, and marketing. You’re comfortable navigating high-stakes conversations and influencing executive stakeholders, including at the C-suite level.
• Recognized for your craft. You set a high bar in interaction and visual design, and bring thoughtful execution to every stage of the design process.
• Experience mentoring others and contributing to a strong design culture through critique, modeling, and shaping team rituals.
• Comfortable operating across teams and orgs, leading through influence, without formal authority. You lead with empathy and resilience; for our customers, to build products they love, and for your teammates, to help build a workplace we’re proud of. You take feedback from anywhere, consider it with care, and fold it into your thinking and your work.
• Curious and growth-minded. You’re motivated by complex problems and energized by new challenges in an evolving product and organization. Our teams and processes will continue to evolve. We strive to keep learning and improving; both from the work, and from each other.
Preferred:
• Strong preference for experience designing graph-based systems or working with structured relationships across large, distributed product environments.
• Strong preference for experience with AI-powered design surfaces and/or platform applications of AI and machine learning.
• Background in designing 0→1 products or platform capabilities, especially those launched across multiple teams or surfaces.
