Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point. About the Team Our Distribution team sits at the intersection of AI and developer platforms — two of the fastest-moving spaces in tech. We own how our product shows up on AI platforms, with a mission to make it the default design platform for AI assistants and agents. REST APIs and MCP tools are co-located across the team, and each team owns a workflow end-to-end. We're organised around outcomes, not technology type. About the Role You'll lead a team responsible for driving how our product integrates with the world's leading AI platforms.
