UI Engineer – UK, Hybrid Role 1 year Fixed Term Contract (Maternity Cover) At NiCE, we don’t limit our challenges. We challenge our limits. Always. We’re ambitious. We’re game changers. And we play to win. We set the highest standards and execute beyond them. And if you’re like us, we can offer you the ultimate career opportunity that will light a fire within you. 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?
