We’re looking for a UX Engineer to bridge the gap between design and development, bringing user experiences to life through clean, scalable code. You’ll collaborate with designers, product managers, and front-end engineers to implement design systems, prototypes, and production-ready UI components that elevate the user experience across our digital products.

• Design solutions for improved usability through user-centered design and iterative usability testing

• Translate data and produce design requirements, interface standards, guidelines and prototypes that inform design efforts

• Collaborate with designers to ensure feasibility and alignment with technical constraints, refine interactions, animations, and micro-interactions.

• Investigate complex problems, prioritising user, business and technical requirements to serve as the foundation for engineering meaningful design solutions

• Build and maintain reusable components and design systems using modern frameworks

• Ensure consistency in UI implementation across platforms and teams

• Advocate for accessibility best practices (WCAG) and inclusive design

• Contribute to UX documentation and design-to-code workflows

• Stay current with front-end technologies, design tooling, and UX trends

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in front-end development or UX engineering.

• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and modern frameworks (React, Angular, etc.)

• Experience working with design tools like Figma and Adobe XD

• Strong understanding of responsive design, accessibility, and performance optimisation

• Able to organise and document detailed design and functional requirements

• Writes readable, maintainable, and test-covered code, setting high standards

• Contribute to architectural design of new features and improvement of existing features

• Ensure that code adheres to strict standards for accessibility, security, objectoriented practices and performance

• Work as bridge between User Interface Design and engineering

• Deep understanding and interest in design principles and typography

• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g. Git) and CI/CD workflows

• Ability to collaborate effectively with designers and developers

• Portfolio or GitHub showcasing UI components, design system contributions, or UX-focused projects
