Software Engineer, Design System 

Job Description

In this role, you’ll:

• Innovate and lead technically: Evolve visual and interaction coherence across Atlassian by leading the technical vision and architecture for the future of Atlassian’s design language, from inception to build to rollout. Steer the team to plan projects and de-risk delivery. Be a champion for ADS and standards across the company.
• Drive quality and scale: Deliver robust, high-quality solutions on top of which all Atlassian apps are built. Be the decision maker balancing design intent with technical feasibility, and considering accessibility, performance, scalability and maintainability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner closely with product designers, design technologists, product leaders, and teams across the company to champion our design language, and lead staged rollouts Atlassian-wide to land impact directly into the hands of customers.
• Improve productivity and velocity: We’re focused on how to make adoption of design language improvements faster and safer. You’ll help the team identify and implement the best ways to reduce technical and design debt, drive deduplication and clean up efforts, and introduce tooling, migration patterns, AI workflows and automation that reduce friction and improve the developer experience.
• Mentor and grow the team: Be a “force multiplier” in mentoring and growing senior engineers, raising the bar for our engineering culture. You’ll be a role model who coaches, pairs, reviews, and provides hands-on technical guidance and feedback.

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. We follow consistent hiring practices and account for each candidate’s skills, knowledge, and experience when setting base pay within the range.

This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.

A strong interest in design systems is important, though you don’t need specific prior experience. Familiarity with design fundamentals (e.g. motion design, colour systems) would be a bonus.

We’re seeking candidates with:

• Systems thinking and experience architecting and maintaining large-scale platforms
• Proven cross-functional collaboration with designers and product leaders
• Deep expertise in fundamental JavaScript, HTML and CSS
• Extensive experience with modern frontend technologies and release processes (e.g. React, TypeScript, bundling, linting, feature gating, incident management)
• Proven experience leading complex projects and programs of work
• A track record of contributing to high-performing engineering culture — through mentoring, setting standards, recruiting, community building, or similar
