Lead Design Engineer - UX/UI and AI

Role

StarCompliance is seeking a Lead Design Engineer – AI Product Experience who will shape how user experiences are designed, prototyped, and delivered across our engineering organisation. This role is responsible for bringing together user experience design, frontend engineering, and AI-assisted development to create scalable product experience standards that can be consistently applied by both engineers and AI agents. 

This is not a traditional UX design or UI engineering role. The successful candidate will operate as a highly technical, hands-on design engineering leader focused on evolving our design system for agentic consumption, creating working prototypes in place of static design handovers, and ensuring that accessibility, usability, and consistency are embedded directly into our frontend foundations. 

The role will work closely with Software Engineering, Product, Architecture, Platform Engineering, and AI Enablement teams to establish reusable components, interaction patterns, agent instructions, and governance that support faster, more consistent, and increasingly autonomous product delivery. 

How We Think About AI 

At StarCompliance, AI is not a side experiment or an isolated specialist capability. We treat it as a foundational part of modern software engineering and SaaS platform development. 

We expect engineers to: 

• Actively use AI-assisted engineering tools as part of their daily workflows. 

• Apply AI to improve design quality, development velocity, automation depth, operational insight, and overall engineering effectiveness. 

• Ensure AI-generated outputs are validated, auditable, and compliant with security, privacy, and regulatory standards.
