Product Designer (Sydney)

The Role We're looking for a product designer who designs, prototypes, and ships. Someone who knows the difference between software that works and software that makes someone smile. Clinicians use Heidi to get away from keyboards and back to patients. We want the product to feel as considered as the best software you've ever used: cohesive, quiet, and precise across every surface. When a clinician's tools feel right, they spend less time fighting software and more time with patients. That's the job. You'll own specific features across Heidi's product surface, from the first rough frame through to what lands in front of clinicians. You'll work directly with engineers, care about the 3px padding issue as much as the information architecture, and ship work you're proud of, not just work that passes review. This role is based in Sydney or Melbourne. If you're somewhere else and you're exceptional, we'll make it work. We don't care about logos. Show us what you've made, and tell us why it's good. What You'll Do Produce pixel-accurate, interaction-complete work you'd put in your portfolio, not work that just clears the bar Use AI tools as part of your process: generating variants, accelerating exploration, moving from rough concept to refined solution faster than traditional workflows allow Work directly with engineers during implementation, reviewing builds and flagging where quality has slipped from the spec Sweat the details that separate good software from trusted software: type choices, spacing, motion, micro-interactions Work within and contribute to the design system: apply existing patterns with rigour, flag where patterns are missing or broken Share work early, give honest critique, and receive feedback with the same seriousness you'd give it What We're Looking For A portfolio that shows craft at the component and screen level. We want to feel something when we look at it, not just follow the UX flow You use AI tools (Figma AI, Claude Code, or similar) as part of your workflow: regularly and with intent, not occasionally Strong foundational skills: typography, layout, colour, component architecture. The kind of thing you can see immediately in someone's work You can defend a design decision without referencing user testing; you have opinions about easing curves, optical versus mathematical alignment, and why a component should be structured the way it is When you see a broken pattern in production, your instinct is to fix it, not file a ticket Candidate Fit Are you geeky about software? Have you picked up a new tool in the last two weeks and gotten excited about it? Does inconsistent spacing in a shipped product genuinely bother you? Can you defend a design decision without referencing user testing? Are you able to ship without a design system team, governance structure, and research coordinators at your beck and call? Does the prospect of turning clinical chaos into something quiet, precise, and beautiful make you feel fuzzy inside?
