Principal Product Designer, DX

Atlassian is hiring a Principal Product Designer to lead product design across DX, its developer intelligence platform. The role sets the product experience vision, shapes strategy with Product and Engineering, leads customer-centered design work, and helps teams turn complex engineering data into actionable insights.

Responsibilities:

• Set the end-to-end experience vision for DX, creating coherence across product surfaces and customer journeys while aligning with the broader Atlassian product ecosystem
• Partner with the Head of Product and Head of Engineering to shape product strategy, roadmap priorities, and the backlog
• Turn complex engineering data into coherent, persona- and jobs-to-be-done-based experiences through information architecture, interaction design, data visualization, and analytical workflows
• Lead customer research and involve Product and Engineering so teams develop a shared understanding of customer needs
• Lead high-impact work from customer discovery and problem framing through implementation, QA, and post-launch iteration
• Use AI-native workflows and code to make design intent concrete through working prototypes, contribute directly to production, and iterate based on live usage
• Shape how AI changes the DX product experience—including conversational and agentic workflows—and how our teams discover, design, build, and ship it
• Define and track experience outcomes—including time to insight, task success, adoption, and satisfaction—and use them to guide iteration
• Establish scalable patterns and frameworks that improve consistency across DX, partnering with Atlassian teams to align with the Atlassian Design System and address emerging product needs
• Partner with leadership to set design priorities across DX and bring the right designers into high-impact work
• Lead design syncs and critiques, provide hands-on feedback, and mentor designers across the team

Requirements:

• 7+ years of product design experience, including ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives
• Deep experience designing data-rich B2B SaaS products, particularly reporting or analytics experiences that balance opinionated guidance with flexible self-service exploration
• Exceptional interaction design, information architecture, visual design, data visualization, accessibility, and systems-thinking skills, with experience applying or extending design systems across complex products
• The ability to simplify complex data and technical concepts without sacrificing analytical depth or trust
• Strong product judgment and experience influencing strategy, roadmaps, and priorities—not only delivering design artifacts
• Experience leading research and translating qualitative and quantitative evidence into product direction
• Demonstrated use of AI throughout the design process—from research and prototyping through code and iteration—paired with strong judgment about where AI should change the customer experience and where it shouldn't
• The ability to move quickly, make pragmatic trade-offs, and maintain a high quality bar with lightweight process
• Principal-level influence: creating clarity amid ambiguity, aligning senior partners, and guiding designers without reporting authority
• Clear written and verbal communication across technical, product, customer-facing, and executive audiences
• Additional experience with developer tools, conversational and agentic AI products, or hands-on front-end development is a plus
• Candidates based in the Salt Lake City metro area are preferred
