Join Qantas in our brand-new Product and Innovation Centre located in Adelaide to help meet evolving consumer needs by enabling agile teams to deliver faster, more adaptive solutions that prioritise customer value, continuous feedback, and innovation at every stage of the product lifecycle.

We're keen to meet designers who are curious and hands-on with AI in their workflow. If you've played around with the latest AI-powered design tools, or have fresh ideas for using AI to spark creativity, speed up prototyping or make delivery smoother, you'll fit right in. Show us how you've used AI to improve your creative process or enhance user outcomes—we're excited to see your practical approach and innovative thinking.

  generate code (e.g., Figma's AI plugins, ClaudeCode, Cursor, Lovable).
• Demonstrated logical reasoning and sound decision-making, including numerical
  analysis.
• Ability to identify and address flawed logic and resolve errors.
