At Procreate we're dedicated to making exceptional creative tools by combining beautiful user experiences with high performance engineering. Used by millions around the globe, Procreate is committed to placing more power in the hands of creatives.


We’re looking for a Product Designer to join our team here in Hobart. You’ll collaborate to deliver incredibly powerful tools through user friendly and intuitive user interfaces. Every aspect of our product design is meticulously thought through and iterated. Your approach to design will reflect this pursuit of excellence and relentless attention to detail.

We believe the key to invention is the open flow of ideas and collaboration — revelling in the creative process and taking the time to hone our craft. Together we’re dedicated to building creative software that is powerful, accessible, and intuitive. We’re not afraid to rethink, iterate and persist until we genuinely believe in our work.


At Procreate we’re a rare breed of driven people from all over the world. Each of us brings something special to the table, through our unique backgrounds and experience. Every day we inspire each other to continue our relentless pursuit, passion, and hunger to produce the highest quality work, while remaining humble in our achievements.


Co-founded by James and Alanna Cuda in 2011, Procreate has remained independent and self-funded for over 10 years. Since its launch, Procreate has been loved by millions around the world, received two coveted Apple Design Awards, and been the best-selling app on iPad for the past six years running. In 2018, Procreate Pocket also received an iPhone app of the year award. In 2023, an all new animation app Procreate Dreams was released.



The role.


This role sits within the Product team, and you’ll report directly to the CPO, Claire d’Este. You’ll work closely with the CEO, Co-Founder, and Chief Product Designer, James Cuda.

You’ll bring a skill set which combines technical fluency in a range of software tools, a creative flair, an ability to ideate, and a drive to design industry-leading products. You’ll work directly on Procreate as it continues to evolve and our next generation products.
