Senior Design Technologist- Confluence Mobile & AI

Working at Atlassian
Atlassians can choose where they work - whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
We are seeking a Senior Product Designer (Design Technologist) to help reimagine what the future of work looks like for Confluence customers collaborating on the go. In this role, you'll report to the Product Design Director, Mobile & AI, and join a global organization spanning North America and Australia. As a senior individual contributor, you'll drive key design initiatives across both Confluence Mobile and Confluence AI teams, working at the intersection of mobile, web and AI to create seamless, intelligent experiences that empower teams to collaborate anywhere, anytime.
You will focus on defining and achieving objectives for your teams or projects. You independently deliver high-quality prototypes, support technical handoff, and help build confidence in design technology across the team. You'll partner closely with our mobile, web and AI teams to push the boundaries of what's possible-leveraging the latest in generative AI, search, and intelligent agents to deliver breakthrough mobile-first workflows. Your work will help shape how millions of users experience Confluence on their devices, making collaboration smarter, faster, and more delightful.
What you'll do:

• Drive the design of innovative experiences for Confluence, focusing on reimagining collaboration for an AI and mobile-first world.
• Build advanced interactive prototypes using Figma and modern JavaScript frameworks (especially React), rapidly exploring and validating design concepts.
• Apply AI literacy to prototyping, leveraging AI-powered tools and workflows (including vibe coding and generative AI) to accelerate design iteration and innovation.
• Collaborate closely with engineers to clarify technical requirements, resolve prototyping challenges, and ensure smooth handoff from design to development.
• Champion the adoption and evolution of design system components, patterns, and best practices across teams and products.
• Apply and advocate for foundational design technology skills, including motion design, accessibility, and inclusive design principles.
• Participate in technical and accessibility reviews, ensuring that prototypes and design solutions meet high standards for usability and inclusion.
• Mentor and support designers and peers in navigating technical considerations and adopting new prototyping tools and methods.
• Continuously improve design technology processes, tools, and methodologies to increase team velocity, product quality, and innovation.
• Share learnings, best practices, and technical insights with the broader design and engineering community.
• Bridge the gap between current and future engineering practices: Our engineering teams are evolving their technology stack and ways of working. We're seeking a Design Technologist who can help seed and accelerate this transition-partnering with engineers to push the boundaries of what's possible, while also providing practical guidance and support. You'll play a key role in inspiring, enabling, and guiding the team as we reimagine how we build and deliver innovative, AI-powered experiences.

Your background

• 6+ years of experience in design technology, prototyping, and front-end development.
• Expertise in React, JavaScript frameworks, and modern prototyping tools (such as Figma).
• Ability to bridge design and engineering, especially in environments where teams are evolving their technology stack and practices.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design direction and technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating across disciplines to deliver innovative, customer-centric solutions.
• Interest or experience in AI/ML, motion, accessibility, and emerging UI frameworks such as SwiftUI is a plus.
• Track record of improving design processes and methodologies to accelerate team impact and product adoption.
