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.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.)
