Senior Design Engineer

About the Position

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.

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.).
