Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

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.
