Senior Design Engineer

Codebridge is looking for a Senior Design Engineer to own the user experience of a UK insurance technology product. We want a designer who ships — someone who designs a flow and then builds it in React, and who can hold a design system together across channels we don't control. The product is already in production with a major carrier, and most of the customer experience happens inside an AI assistant.

Responsibilities:

• Take responsibility for the end-user experience in every channel the product appears in, AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude included
• Create and maintain a shared set of interaction patterns, so that a journey built once behaves identically wherever it runs
• Establish and safeguard the design system: tokens, per-insurer theming, accessibility, and the limits of environments we don't own
• Treat disclosures, consent, confirmation and hand-off as part of the journey itself, so that regulatory requirements read as good product
• Work with engineering on the conversational layer — tone, turn structure, and the testing that proves it holds up
• Take charge of the insurer-facing console: setup, monitoring, and the audit trail a regulated business depends on
• Prototype quickly, validate with real users and real insurers, and convert those findings into released product

Requirements:

• 5+ years in product or interaction design, with shipped work you can talk through from problem to release
• You design in code — confident maintaining a React/TypeScript component library in production rather than passing mockups to someone else
• A portfolio of intricate, high-stakes journeys in fintech, insurance, healthcare or a comparable field, where a user mistake is costly
• Deep design-systems expertise: tokens, theming, accessibility, and the rigour of designing for platforms and limitations outside your control
• Hands-on work with conversational or AI-native interfaces, plus a clear point of view on when chat is the wrong format
• Systems thinking — you shape a journey as a set of reusable building blocks rather than a sequence of screens
• Ownership and a responsible mindset, focused on outcomes
• Advanced English or higher
• An insurance background is a plus but not a must — we provide the domain context

You don't need to tick every box. We're interested in people who are excited by the problem and bring most of the experience described above.

We Offer:

• Product Ownership: You set how the product looks and behaves, and own those design decisions end to end
• Short Decision Path: A small, experienced team with no layers to clear — you decide and move
• Early-Team Equity: You join among the first people on the product, with a meaningful equity share from day one
• Generous Time Off: 20 paid vacation days + 15 sick leave days annually
• Professional Growth: Compensation for courses, certifications, and learning resources
• Cutting-Edge Tools: Access to premium AI tools (Cursor Pro, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
