Staff/Principal Product Designer

About the role

⚡About Amber Amber is an entirely new way to buy and sell power, designed for a world powered by renewable energy. We give customers direct access to the real-time wholesale electricity price as it varies every 5 mins and the technology to shift more of their energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid. It's a cheaper way to buy power, a smarter way to sell power, and the fastest way for Australia to reach 100% renewable energy. We are a clear category leader in Australia for home battery automation and are growing rapidly (over 80k customers). We have also recently expanded into licensing our core technology to utilities overseas, including a partnership with E.ON Next in the UK. Amber is backed by top Australian and international investors including Square Peg, Main Sequence, Breakthrough Victoria, Commonwealth Bank, NRMA, Gentrack, ETF Partners (UK/Europe based), and E.ON Next. We are scaling rapidly and you'd be joining a team of over 200 committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and purpose-driven culture as we transform a major industry. Our products are reshaping home energy: Amber for Batteries cuts bills by exporting stored energy at wholesale prices of up to $20/kWh, and Amber for EVs enables the cheapest, cleanest charging. In 2026, we will push this even further with our new vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. 💻 About the role Amber is transforming how people access and use energy - helping customers shift usage to times when renewable energy is abundant and affordable, and export to the grid when it has the highest impact. It's one of the fastest ways Australia can get to 100% renewable energy, and we're building the products that make that shift easy and rewarding. We're hiring a Staff or Principal Product Designer - the most senior IC designer on the team. This isn't a role for someone stepping into Staff for the first time. We're looking for someone who's already there: a designer with deep craft, sharp product judgment, and a track record of shaping direction on complex, high-stakes work. You'll operate as the right-hand to the Head of Design. Where the team needs clarity in ambiguous spaces, you bring it. Where quality needs lifting, you model it. Where execution needs to be world-class, you own it. You'll be deployed on Amber's most strategically important problems - the ones that are too big, too cross-functional, or too consequential to be absorbed into a single stream. Please note: To make sure your application gets the attention it deserves, please note that we are only able to consider candidates who are currently or have very recently worked at a Staff or Principal Product Designer level. If that is not where you are right now, we would encourage you to keep an eye on future opportunities at Amber as we continue to grow. This is a full-time role to be based ideally from Melbourne, but we are also open to considering the right candidate anywhere within Australia. We are open to discussing 4 days a week or 9 days a fortnight once you're ramped up, if that's what you are looking for. Amber is a remote first team; we have an office in the Melbourne CBD, where we work flexibly between the office and home. The vast majority of our team are located in Melbourne. For those based in Sydney, they catch up in a co-working space in the city every now and then, and rest of the locations in Australia work from home. While we don't expect people to attend the office, we do expect that people mostly work in the Melbourne time zone to maximise collaboration. 🌈 If this kind of work gets you excited, we'd love to hear from you! Even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements listed above, we still encourage you to apply. We're open to all backgrounds and encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. We never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status. Our hiring process will generally be as follows: A screening interview with our talent team An interview with the Hiring Manager A small case study + follow up whiteboard session A culture + final interview with two of our Executive Leadership Team Members We promise to be respectful of your time as an applicant while trying to be as thorough as possible in finding the right fit for our team. Applications will be accepted only from candidates already based in Australia, preferably Melbourne with full working rights. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted promptly. All other applicants will also be notified of the outcome as soon as possible. No recruitment agencies please. We've got this! Thank you.
