Design Engineer (AI Products) - National News Platform

Day rate: £650 (Inside IR35)
Duration: 6 months
Location: Central London (Hybrid - 2-3 office days)

We’re looking for a Design Engineer with strong UX/UI craft, interaction design expertise, and front-end product-building experience to redefine the future of AI-driven digital experiences for a major national news platform used by millions.

This is not a backend engineering role.
This is a role for someone who lives at the intersection of product design and front-end engineering. Someone who cares deeply about user experience, visual quality, interaction detail, and how design translates into a real shipped product.

You’ll prototype new concepts in Figma, validate interactions rapidly, and bring them to life with polished, production-ready UI. You’ll collaborate with product designers, UX researchers, and engineering leads to shape AI-powered interfaces that feel intuitive, elegant, and deeply user-centred.

You’ll Thrive Here If You

• Are a designer-builder who loves crafting beautiful interfaces and then bringing them to life in code
• Obsess over interaction design, micro-interactions, and user flow improvements
• Have strong opinions on layout, hierarchy, typography, visual polish, and motion
• Can translate complex AI capabilities into clear, human-centred UX
• Think like a Product Designer but build like a UI Engineer
• Believe great design is measured by how it ships, not just how it looks in a file

What You’ll Do

• Design and build AI-powered user experiences, focusing on clarity, usability, and interaction quality
• Prototype rapidly in Figma, exploring content discovery, search, summarisation, and intelligent UI behaviour
• Translate prototypes into high-quality React/TypeScript interfaces
• Work hands-on with design systems to create accessible, scalable, reusable UI components
• Collaborate with designers to test, refine, and elevate user journeys
• Bring AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG, embeddings) to life in a way that feels natural and user-first
• Influence product direction by demonstrating what’s possible through UX-led prototypes

Essential Requirements:

• Strong UX/UI and interaction design background - with a portfolio showing shipped, consumer-facing digital products
• Experience building rich, interactive UIs in React + TypeScript
• A designer’s eye for detail: spacing, motion, feedback, clarity, and hierarchy
• Ability to take an ambiguous user problem and shape it into an elegant, thoughtful experience
• Experience integrating AI/LLM features into user interfaces
• Comfortable owning a feature end-to-end, from concept sketches to polished UI

Nice to Have

• Experience with native design patterns (iOS/Android)
• Familiarity with RAG, embeddings, vector databases
• Python (for small prototyping tasks)
• Design system experience (creation or contribution)
• Experience designing media, content, or large-scale consumer platforms

Your ideas could shape how millions experience the news. If you’re ready to build what’s next, please apply with an up-to-date CV to get a conversation rolling.

We are looking for a mid-weight Motion Visual Designer with strong Adobe After Effects expertise to join an innovation-focused design stream working on upcoming and new device concepts.

This role sits at the intersection of digital interaction, product experience, and motion, helping bring early-stage ideas, concepts, and design thinking to life. The focus is on screens, interactions, and sensory experience-how users engage with devices through motion, feedback, and interface behaviour.

You will collaborate closely with innovation teams, industrial designers, and digital designers to visualise concepts for small screens, IoT devices, and wearable technology, translating ideation into clear, engaging motion explorations.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and animate 2D and 2.5D motion concepts using Adobe After Effects
• Bring early-stage ideas, concepts, and innovation thinking to life through motion
• Create motion studies for:

• On-screen interactions and UI behaviour
• Small screens and IoT devices
• Wearables (eg smartwatches and connected devices)
• Device interactions including buttons, transitions, and feedback

• Explore user interaction and sensory experience, including how motion supports usability and understanding
• Support industrial and digital design teams by visualising:

• Interface behaviour
• Transitions and states
• Interaction logic and motion language

• Apply strong animation fundamentals including timing, easing, anticipation, overshoot, and follow-through
• Produce clear, polished motion outputs that communicate ideas rather than finished VFX
• Work iteratively, responding to feedback and evolving concepts quickly

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong, hands-on experience using Adobe After Effects as a primary tool
• Proven ability to animate:

• UI elements and interactions
• Text, shapes, and illustrative assets
• Composited video where required

• Solid understanding of:

• Motion principles and interaction-led animation
• Compositing techniques (masking, blending modes, basic keying/roto)
• Pre-compositions and expressions for efficient workflows

• Comfortable working with assets from Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro
• Experience visualising motion for small screens, devices, or product interfaces is highly desirable
• Strong attention to detail with a clean, considered motion style

Desirable Experience

• Exposure to IoT, wearable technology, or connected devices
• Experience collaborating with industrial designers or product teams
• Understanding of interaction design and user-centred motion
• Cinema 4D or light 3D awareness is a bonus, but not essential
• Confident working in fast-paced, concept-driven environments

What This Role Is

• Mid-weight motion designer role
• Conceptual and interaction-led
• Focused on innovation, devices, and experience
• Less about heavy VFX, more about clarity, behaviour, and storytelling through motion
