Role Guide

AddIn365 Product Designers are responsible for the software UX and design aesthetics for products AddIn365 creates. These products are used by some of the world’s best-known brands(https://www.addin365.com/clients/)

As part of the production team, you’ll be building and maintaining UX artefacts across our entire product range.

Experience defining reusable components and patterns
Understanding of accessibility standards and inclusive design
Experience designing responsive experiences across devices

Engineering Collaboration

Experience working closely with engineering team in AI-native software development lifecycle
Experience participating in agile software delivery
Comfortable discussing design / implementation constraints and trade-offs
Experience creating implementation-ready specifications and designs for engineering team

AI-Native Development Environment

Candidates must have recent practical exposure to:

Figma Dev Mode
Figma MCP
Figma Make
Figma Code Connect
AI-assisted design workflows
Design-to-code workflows to work efficiently with engineering team
Creating designs optimised for AI-assisted implementation
Modern AI tooling used across software product development
Understanding of how design artefacts are consumed by AI-assisted engineering environments
