UI Engineer (1 year Fixed Term Contract)

UI Engineer – UK, Hybrid Role

So, what’s the role all about?

We’re looking for a UI Engineer who is a strong engineer today and excited about becoming an even better one by thoughtfully using AI as part of their craft.

This is not a research role and not an “AI specialist” position. It is a modern UI engineering role for someone who wants to work with AI, not around it – bringing AI tools and practices into the everyday flow of frontend development, and helping the wider team do the same.

What will you be doing?

Working on the Proactive AI Agent product as part of a cross‑functional engineering team, reporting into the Engineering Manager, you will:

• Design, build, test and maintain high quality Angular-based frontend applications using modern engineering practices.
• Use AI tools to accelerate development, improve code quality, explore solutions and reduce toil, while applying strong engineering judgement.
• Collaborate closely with product, architecture and other engineers to deliver customer value.
• Collaborate with software architects to ensure web application architecture is best-of-breed and extensible to support rapid development.
• Deliver secure, maintainable, well‑tested code that meets internal guidelines and industry best practice.
• Participate in code reviews, both giving and receiving thoughtful feedback.
• Help evolve team practices, especially how AI is used responsibly and effectively in day‑to‑day engineering.
• Document decisions, designs and learnings clearly.

How will you make an impact?

• You will deliver polished, high-quality frontend features, not just code.
• You will raise team capability by sharing better ways of working using AI‑assisted approaches.
• You will help reduce friction in delivery by using AI to automate, simplify, or improve frontend development workflows.
• Using agentic workflows to automate routine development tasks while focusing your expertise on high-quality UI and complex component logic.
• Critically evaluate AI-generated code for logical errors, accessibility issues, and performance.
• You will bring curiosity and pragmatism when exploring new tools or techniques.
• Help evolve the team by sharing AI tips, and mentoring others on how to integrate AI tools responsibly into their daily workflows.

Have you got what it takes?

Core UI engineering skills

• At least 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong frontend specialism.
• At least 4+ years of experience with Angular (2nd generation+) in production applications.
• Experience with Angular 16+ features, e.g. standalone components, new control flow, signals.
• Practical experience with React; comfortable building and maintaining React components in a production codebase alongside Angular.
• Excellent knowledge of TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3.
• Experience working with RESTful APIs.
• Experience unit testing with Jasmine + Karma or Jest. Proficient in writing testable and reusable code and developing scalable applications.
• Experience with CSS pre-processors (SASS).
• Experience with version control, CI/CD pipelines and modern development workflows.
• A good understanding of testing, security and software quality fundamentals.

AI‑era mindset (this matters)

• Actively uses AI tools (e.g. coding assistants, chat‑based models, analysis tools) as part of development work.
• Curious about how AI can improve developer productivity, quality, and learning – not just speed.
• Comfortable validating, correcting and refining AI‑generated outputs.
• Experiments with new tools or workflows and reflects on what works and what doesn’t.
• Can explain why a solution is correct, even if AI helped produce it.

NiCE to have, but not essential

• State management experience using NgRx/Redux.
• Experience with observables using RxJS.
• Experience with front-end hosting models.
• E2E testing using the Playwright test framework.
• Experience with Storybook.
• Experience working in an Agile Scrum environment.
• Experience working in a controlled environment where data security is paramount.
• Familiarity with data security standards such as ISO27001, SOC2, HIPAA and GDPR.
• Experience working with SaaS.

What’s in it for you?

At NiCE, we work according to the NiCE-FLEX hybrid model, which enables maximum flexibility: 2 days working from the office and 3 days of remote work, each week. Naturally, office days focus on face-to-face meetings, where teamwork and collaborative thinking generate innovation, new ideas, and a vibrant, interactive atmosphere.
