Location: Remote (UK or Europe) Department: Product & Technology
The Opportunity
This role is for someone who shapes what's worth building, designs it by building, and owns the result in production. You explore and prototype like a designer, then carry the strong ideas all the way to a shipped front-end - one craft, not two stages with a handoff between them.
When the same person designs and builds, there's no spec to hand off and no rebuild cycle: the work moves faster and the original intent survives. You'll sit in a product squad alongside software engineers who own the systems beneath the experience. They're accountable for whether it runs; you're accountable for what it is.
Most of what gets called "AI in product" is a button bolted onto an unchanged screen. Our client is building the opposite: experiences where the agent does the work and the human reviews, corrects, and authorises it. Knowing the difference - and being able to ship it - is the judgment we're hiring for.
What You'll Do
- Explore and prototype to find the right answer. Most of what you make is for learning, not shipping. Production is where the right answer lands, not where it starts.
- Carry features through to the production front-end. The design decision and the code are the same job, in the same hands.
- Help frame what's worth building. Talk to users, pressure-test problems, and shape scope with your squad rather than waiting for a finished spec.
- Build the supervisory surfaces of an agent-native platform: a triage queue an underwriter trusts at a glance, a confidence and citation pattern they can act on, a briefing that replaces a dashboard.
- Use AI across the full loop - research, design, prototype, build, test - as the default way you work, applying real judgment to its output rather than trusting it.
- Own the invisible craft: performance, accessibility, cross-device behaviour, and the responsiveness that makes an interface feel fast.
What We're Looking For
- A builder who designs and ships front-end to production. You've owned a problem, made the call on what the experience should be, and shipped it yourself.
- Design judgment and taste. When AI produces competent interfaces instantly, telling good from merely functional is the scarce skill.
- Product instinct. You can cut scope without being told to and validate with real users rather than waiting for certainty.
- Fluency in a modern web codebase, with AI tooling at every stage. You know AI's failure modes and can tell when output looks right but isn't. We care that you can ship and know when it's right, not which framework you came up on.
- The ability to design data-rich, high-stakes interfaces for demanding professionals, and to converse credibly with seasoned insurance experts.
There's no single right background - strong candidates come from design, from engineering, and from places in between. If you design and you build and you can ship both well, we want to talk.
