XTN-CE81708 | Software Design Lead

About [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] is a Melbourne-founded product company building AI-powered products for a wide range of customers. We pair deep domain expertise with the best AI tools available to solve problems conventional software can't, and we use AI as a force multiplier across our own engineering as much as we build it into the products themselves.

We're now scaling our Clark engineering function, and you'd be one of the people we're betting on to make that work.

Our values: Harmonize · Innovate · Lead.

Job Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled Software Design Lead who will define, elevate, and maintain design consistency across multiple products. This role is ideal for someone who can work independently, take full ownership of design decisions, and create high-quality, user-centered designs from concept to execution. You will play a critical role in shaping cohesive user experiences across web and mobile platforms while establishing scalable design systems, including the design language for how users and AI agents collaborate inside [REDACTED] products.

In [REDACTED]'s team model the UX Designer is embedded full-time in one team and reports to the Head of Product. As Design Lead you set the standards across teams, partner with the Head of Design on hiring, and act as a force multiplier across every product team's UX work.

• Advocate for user experience best practices and usability principles
• Conduct user research, usability testing, and feedback analysis
• Iterate designs based on data, insights, and user behavior

5. Collaboration with Engineering & Product

• Work closely with Product Managers and Engineering teams to ensure design feasibility and implementation accuracy

• Deep understanding of design systems and component-based design
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
• Strong communication and stakeholder collaboration skills
• Attention to detail and consistency
• A portfolio piece (or strong opinions) on designing for human-in-the-loop AI products — how the user knows what the agent did, can undo it, and trusts what it shows them
