Senior Design Technologist at seek – Cremorne | Jobyssey

The Role

You will bring SEEK's design system to life through high-impact prototypes, tools and implementation patterns that power our marketplace and apps as a Senior Design Technologist. Reporting to the Design System Lead, you will lead complex design-technology initiatives, uplift components, patterns and tokens in partnership with designers and engineers, and create system-aware workflows and automation that help product teams explore ideas faster and ship cohesive, on-brand experiences with more confidence.

This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports, with responsibility for mentoring other practitioners and modelling excellent design-technology craft. You will work closely with other Design Technologists, Design System designers, Visual Designers, Content Designers, Design Ops and engineering partners across the marketplace. You will build interactive, high-fidelity prototypes using real data, real interaction patterns and real system components, and experiment with AI-supported workflows that help teams generate and iterate on system-aligned interfaces responsibly and efficiently. You will also partner with UX Research to ensure prototypes and tools support effective discovery and evaluation, while working with product and engineering stakeholders to align on priorities and success measures.

Key Responsibilities

Own and deliver complex tooling, prototyping and design-system implementation projects that materially improve how teams design, test and ship on-system experiences.
Design and build high-fidelity prototypes for web and app using real data, interaction patterns and system components to help teams make better decisions earlier.
Partner with Design System and engineering teams to refine and extend components, patterns and tokens aligned with interaction, motion, responsiveness and accessibility standards.
Build and support internal tools, plugins, scripts and automation that connect Figma to code, streamline handoff and reduce repeat work for designers and engineers.
Experiment with and implement AI-supported workflows helping teams generate and iterate on system-aligned interfaces efficiently and responsibly.
Coach other designers and technologists in prototyping, front-end implementation and design-system usage, contributing to internal documentation and practice forums.
Define and evolve practices, templates and documentation that make it easier to go from concept to implementation while staying on-system and within constraints.

Essential Skills and Experience

5+ years of experience in design technology, UX engineering, front-end engineering or a related discipline, with a track record of leading complex cross-functional initiatives.
Strong hands-on experience with modern front-end technologies such as React, TypeScript and HTML/CSS, as well as design tokens and component-based design systems.
Proven experience building interactive, high-fidelity prototypes that help teams explore ideas, validate concepts and reduce delivery risk.
Experience creating or extending internal tools, Figma plugins, scripts or automation that improve design and engineering workflows.
Strong understanding of accessibility, inclusive design and performance, and how to embed these principles in components, prototypes and tooling.
Demonstrated interest in emerging tools and technologies, including AI and LLMs, with an understanding of responsible application in product design and development.
