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
We're looking for a mid-level UX/UI Designer who can work across two connected spaces: in-app product design and the broader customer experience that surrounds it. This role sits at the bridge between what customers see inside the Amber app and how they experience everything around it. Emails, campaigns, web and brand imagery, communications, etc. Getting both right, and making them feel like one consistent thing, is the job.
The brand side isn't a support function. Amber is investing in lifting quality and consistency across the whole customer journey, and strong brand execution is a core part of that. You'll own end-to-end design of our highest-value communications, be the quality bar the marketing team works to, and help make sure everything that reaches a customer, however it was made, feels unmistakably Amber.
On the product side, you'll work closely with and learn from senior designers embedded across our product teams, supporting them across a range of in-app work while building your own product design skills in a fast-moving environment.
Please note: To make sure your application gets the attention it deserves, please note that we are not able to consider candidates who are currently Senior Designer or above level and we would encourage you to keep an eye on future opportunities at Amber as we continue to grow.

And you help close the gap between what the product experience promises and what the broader customer journey delivers.

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 interview with two of our Senior Designers
- 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.
