Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field; or equivalent related professional experience.
  • 5+ years of relevant professional experience as a UX Engineer, Frontend Engineer, or similar role building and owning production web experiences at scale.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with modern web technologies (React, Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS, component-based frameworks) and proven ability to design and implement robust, maintainable UI system architectures, including API design and data modelling for frontend integrations.
  • Experience leading end-to-end delivery of complex user-facing features in cross-functional product teams (engineering, product, design), with accountability for quality, performance, and operational stability.
  • Track record of applying qualitative and quantitative data — including experimentation, A/B testing, and UX performance metrics — to drive design and implementation decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to contribute to or evolve shared component libraries, design systems, or multi-tenant UI platforms used by multiple product teams or brands.

  • Track record of owning and improving frontend performance, accessibility, reliability, and operational excellence for high-traffic web properties, including defining and enforcing Core Web Vitals, testing strategies, and observability practices.
  • Hands-on experience safely integrating and operating AI/ML-enabled solutions to improve UX outcomes — such as AI-assisted content generation, personalisation engines, or intelligent recommendations — while maintaining control, observability, and user trust.
  • Experience applying LLMs or predictive models to generate, adapt, or personalise search and recommendation experiences in a measurable and responsible way.
