Design engineer

Sydney
Rethink Investing AUS & NZ
Design
Posted: 22 March
Offer description

Rethink Group is one of Australia's leading property investment groups, having acquired more than $6 billion in assets for clients. We're a high-growth organisation undergoing an AI transformation across our nine businesses — spanning Rethink Investing, Rethink Financing, Rethink Residential, and more — delivering a fully integrated investing ecosystem across property, finance, insurance, legal and renewable services across Australia and New Zealand.

Day-to-day you'll work closely with our Principal AI Engineer, AI Product Manager, Client Experience Specialist, and founding team. If you want to do the most interesting design work of your career, this is where to do it.

Role Description

We're looking for a designer who goes deep with real users, finds the friction nobody else sees, and turns that into products that make complex things feel simple. This is a foundational hire — you'll shape the design practice from the ground up.

What You'll Do

* Run discovery with real users across the Rethink Group ecosystem — using AI to accelerate research synthesis and insight extraction
* Map end-to-end service flows, surface unmet needs, and move from insight to testable design fast
* Work closely with the engineering team and iterate design through to build
* Own the design brief before engineering touches it — define what "done" looks like from a user perspective
* Build design documentation engineers can actually use — annotated specs, component logic, interaction patterns
* Maintain and evolve the design system as the product grows

What We're Looking For

* Design work that shipped to real users, beyond concept drawings
* Evidence of user research in practice — interviews, synthesis, insight-to-design translation
* Strong prototyping and design skills from scratch to production-ready
* Proficiency with tools such as Figma
* AI-native design workflow — show us how AI is part of how you work today
* Commercial instinct and the ability to communicate across stakeholders

Why Join

This is a foundational hire at a company moving fast through one of the most significant transformations in its history. You won't inherit a design practice — you'll build one, at the frontier of AI-native product development, with real users and real stakes from day one. The opportunity to design, own, and define what great looks like — from the ground up.

How to Apply

Send your portfolio — shipped work preferred over concepts. Include a short note on one thing you designed that you're proud of. If AI is part of your process, make that visible.
