About the role
Staff Product Designer Staff Product Designer Locations: Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart, Australia Remote Electricity grids are undergoing the most significant transformation in a century. The shift to renewables, the proliferation of rooftop solar, batteries, and EVs, and the increasing complexity of distribution networks are forcing utilities to operate their grids in fundamentally new ways. Gridsight builds the analytics platform that makes this possible. We're already embedded with most of Australia's major distribution networks and have contracts with some of the largest investor-owned utilities in the United States. We're well-funded, growing quickly, and positioned at the centre of a global shift toward dynamic grid management.
The Role We're hiring our first full-time product designer: a senior IC who will shape how utilities see and operate their networks. This is not a typical SaaS product design role. In most SaaS, the interface is the essence of the product, so a designer can reason about the whole thing through what's on screen. At Gridsight, the core of the product lives underneath: pipelines of time-series data, transformations, and the concepts that turn billions of raw meter readings into meaning. This role demands reasoning from the data outward, treating the interface as an expression of that system rather than its definition. The unit of design here is the reusable primitive, not the screen. Our customers rarely need an answer designed; what needs designing is the capability that produces answers. The right building blocks solve today's problem but also the next ten variations of it. Quality comes from economy rather than polish: the right symbols, primitives, and conventions exposing more of the product through less surface area. You'll own the visual language of how a utility reads its own grid: how a feeder, a fault, or a load profile renders as something a power engineer can interpret at a glance. You'll embed with our product squads day to day, and you'll be the strongest voice for the experience dimension in a product org where the best solutions are co-developed across experience, data, and technology. This is a senior role by necessity: the ambiguity is too high for someone who needs direction. And it's a role with room to grow in many directions including building and leading the design function. AI-assisted work is the norm at Gridsight, not the exception, and design is no different: we're looking for someone already using AI to amplify their discovery, exploration, and output and who is energised by how fast that frontier is moving.
