Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Pluralis Research Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Pluralis Research is pioneering Protocol Learning—a fully decentralised way to train and deploy AI models that opens this layer to individuals rather than well resourced corporates. By pooling compute from many participants, incentivising their efforts, and preventing any single party from controlling a model's full weights, we're creating a genuinely open, collaborative path to frontier-scale AI. If you want your work to shape the future of truly open innovation in artificial intelligence, join us.

Overview

Pluralis Research is building foundational systems for decentralised model training. Design is how our technology will meet the world, and this role defines that connection.

As Design Lead, you'll guide Pluralis' design direction across product, brand, and experience. You'll create the systems, visuals, and narratives that shape how users and the wider ecosystem engage with our work.

Responsibilities

  • Define and evolve Pluralis' product and brand design systems across all touchpoints.

  • Collaborate with Research, Engineering, and Growth teams to translate complex technical concepts into intuitive design.

  • Lead creative direction and maintain visual and experiential consistency across platforms.

  • Partner with Frontend Engineers to refine user experience and visual implementation.

  • Develop clear visual storytelling for research, interfaces, and community-facing materials.

  • Maintain design quality, usability, and brand coherence from concept to delivery.

  • Contribute directly to hands-on design, prototyping, and iteration when needed.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience leading design direction in technical, research-driven, or product-focused environments.

  • Strong visual and interaction design portfolio spanning UX, UI, and brand.

  • Experience managing or mentoring designers and contributing to team culture.

  • Comfort collaborating with engineers and researchers on technical products.

  • Proficiency in design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, motion or 3D tools).

  • Strong systems thinking, storytelling, and attention to visual detail.

Nice to Have

  • Experience designing for developer tools, ML systems, or technical interfaces.

  • Familiarity with data visualisation, interactive storytelling, or generative design.

  • Prior work in early-stage or research-led organisations.
