EitBloomington, ILL6 LeadSeptember 8th, 2026
Senior AI UX & Front-End Design EngineerRemote _USAContractPosition OverviewThis role combines AI-assisted design, generative UI, front-end engineering, accessibility, and design quality evaluation to build workflows that turn product briefs, approved standards, reusable components, and user-research evidence into high-quality initial UI designs and working software.The role will help advance generative UI and design-to-code capabilities while establishing the quality standards, evaluation methods, and accessibility practices needed to create a trusted AI-assisted design workflow.What You'll Do / Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and build an AI-assisted workflow that produces an initial UI design from a product brief, approved standards, reusable components, and cited user-research evidence.Create and maintain the design-craft scoring rubric used to assess generated work and regression-test releases of the AI toolchain.Build generative-UI and design-to-code capabilities that produce working, component-based front-end code.Work with Angular, TypeScript, Web Components, HTML, and CSS as primary target technologies.Define design-facing acceptance criteria for design-system conformance, accessibility, UX writing, usability, and visual craft.Partner with the AI Experience Platform Architect to implement design rules as reusable checks.Own accessibility quality across generated experiences by designing to WCAG 2.2 AA and performing automated and assistive-technology testing.Remediate accessibility failures and identify checks that can be safely automated.Tune quality checks to reduce false positives and define defensible design exceptions.Use structured research evidence to explain and trace design decisions.Consume the existing enterprise design system and contribute proven patterns back to its owning team.Map proposed workflows and secure alignment from designers, engineers, and business partners.Lead pilots, testing, training, and rollout activities.Required QualificationsRecent hands-on experience building an agentic AI tool, reusable agent skill, or multi-step AI workflow that was used by a team, not only prompting a general-purpose assistant.Demonstrated experience with generative UI, design automation, or design-to-code workflows that produce working software rather than image-only mockups.Strong production front-end engineering skills.Angular experience is preferred; deep experience in React, Vue, or another modern component framework is acceptable with the ability to transition to Angular.Strong UX and interaction-design judgment, including the ability to distinguish technically valid output from high-quality, usable design.Hands-on accessibility engineering experience, including WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, keyboard and screen-reader testing, remediation, and tools such as axe-core.Experience defining evaluation criteria, test sets, rubrics, or automated quality checks for AI or design output.Ability to turn an ambiguous problem into options, explain trade-offs, recommend a direction, and execute with limited day-to-day supervision.Strong collaborative habits and the ability to work as a close peer with the AI Experience Platform Architect.Preferred QualificationsDeep Figma knowledge, including variables, design tokens, shared libraries, component properties, and multiple brand themes.Experience building with current AI coding or agent environments such as Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT Work, or comparable platforms.LLM evaluation and regression-testing experience, particularly detecting quality changes after model, prompt, tool, or knowledge-source updates.Experience with interface writing against an established content standard.Experience in insurance, financial services, healthcare, or another highly regulated environment.Experience launching a design tool or workflow beyond an individual proof of concept to team or enterprise use.
