You’re a designer and a thinker. You inhale complex UI requirements and exhale beautiful visualisations of how applications look and behave. You think and communicate visually using sketches, wire-framing, Photoshop mockups, and interactive prototypes to model your solutions to the tough problems of UI design. You’ve honed your craft over the years and can visualise, iterate, execute, and validate designs at lightning speed. Agile schmagile. Your designs grace products used by thousands or hundreds of thousands. You’re a consummate communicator and collaborator, and you’re picky about who you work with.

Position Summary

As part of the Design team at Atlassian, you’ll be located in a central team of UI designers, and you’ll work closely with the product manager and development teams of one of our key products. You’ll have ongoing responsibility for improving the quality and innovation of the user interface of one of our core products.

• Experience interacting directly with users and managing long-term customer relationships
• Experience in Information Architecture, Information Design, Screen Layout and Interaction Design
• Strong negotiation skills
• Outcome-driven work style

• Otherworldly personal time management skills

Your Dream Job

With offices in Sydney, San Fransisco, Amsterdam and Gdansk we offer global opportunities and the chance to work with like-minds from different cultures. Each day you come to work at Atlassian, you will be coming to work in an open plan office filled with lots of natural light. When you are not sitting in your comfy ergonomic Aeron chair, working on your large LCD monitors and the operating system of your choice, there will be plenty of decisions to make. Maybe you’d like to participate in a lunchtime card game? Would you rather play a Wii Sports game or be a guitar hero? If hunger strikes, head to the kitchen for drinks, fresh fruit, snacks and more. Your choice!
