Product Designer

Help us redefine how complex software products get designed.

If you're a designer who enjoys complexity, questions assumptions, likes making things and believes there is nearly always a better way of solving a problem, we'd really like to hear from you.

What we have already started

We're changing how we design products by bringing design, prototyping and user learning much closer together. We want designers to be able to explore ideas, make them real and learn from users without unnecessary hand-offs or delay.

That means shortening the distance between:

Idea → Prototype → User Feedback → Learning → Better Solution

We're increasingly enabling designers to work with real coded components and functional prototypes, so ideas can be explored and tested in something much closer to the real product.

You do not need to be a software engineer or write code, but you should be excited about learning new ways of working and about the rapidly changing relationship between design, AI and software development.

You won't just use our design system. You'll help create it.

We're modernising complex, long-established software products. That creates an unusual design opportunity. You won't be joining an organisation where every interaction has already been solved and documented in a mature design system. Instead, you'll encounter difficult and sometimes unfamiliar interaction problems. We expect our designers to investigate those problems, identify patterns, establish principles, test solutions against real-world scenarios and help turn what we learn into reusable product standards and design patterns. You'll therefore be helping to shape not just individual features, but the design language of our future products.
