Product Designer

Sydney · Hybrid (Contract)


We're looking for a talented product designer to join our team.

About the role

  • This is a contractual Mid Product Designer role based in Sydney with 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. You'll use AI tools as a natural part of your workflow, from early problem framing and research synthesis through to prototyping and iteration.
  • You'll craft user centric designs, conduct user research, and apply design thinking principles.
  • You'll collaborate with cross functional teams to deliver innovative and impactful product solutions for startups and scaleups.

What you will do

The daily life of a Product Designer at UntilNow looks something like this:

  • 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.

Your background

  • 6+ years 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
  • Authorised to work in Australia

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

Salary and Benefits

  • Flexible office days. Work from home on Mondays and Fridays. The other 3 days (Tuesday to Thursday) are with us in The Commons.
  • Early or late starts. We know some people work better in the mornings and others in the afternoons, so you have the option of starting an hour earlier or an hour later and finishing up accordingly.
  • Remote work. You can work completely remote up to 2 weeks a year.
  • $500 to spend per year on anything related to professional improvement such as Figma courses, conferences, events, books and more.
  • Team lunches every month at a variety of venues around Sydney CBD.
