Senior Design Engineer

Design systems experience. You’ve contributed meaningfully to a centralised design system, shared component library or UI framework, and understand what it takes to design for reuse and future needs.

Front-end engineering strength. You bring strong hands-on experience with React and component-based architecture, and can design, build and review production-quality solutions.

Practical UX fluency. You understand UX methods, accessibility and design intent, and can collaborate effectively with experienced designers without needing to be a product designer yourself.

AI-assisted development experience. You use tools such as Claude Code or equivalent to delegate and complete substantive work as part of your regular engineering workflow.

Judgement over agent-generated output. You can evaluate AI-generated code beyond whether it functions, including component choices, design-token usage, consistency and accessibility.

Systems thinking. You’re energised by creating reusable foundations that improve the quality of many products and teams, rather than solving the same problem one interface at a time.

Collaborative influence. You can explain and negotiate technical standards with both engineers and designers, building support for better ways of working without relying on formal authority.

You’re a front-end or design systems engineer who enjoys operating at the intersection of engineering and UX. You care about the details of a well-made interface, but you’re most energised by building the components, standards and automated guardrails that allow many teams to deliver that quality consistently.

You don’t need to be a senior product designer who codes. We’re looking for an accomplished engineer with genuine UX understanding, curiosity about agentic workflows and the confidence to help shape an emerging practice.
