About the role
- Responsibilities About the Role As a Senior Consultant
- Engineering (AI - UI/UX Engineer) at Principal, you have a powerful opportunity to influence how innovative AI concepts are encountered and evaluated. This role is vital within our AI Innovation Lab, where fast experimentation and prototyping are fundamental to validating AI use cases. You will operate in a dynamic, fast-paced environment that values clarity, speed, and learning. What You’ll Do We are seeking a Senior UI/UX Engineer to build the early-stage experience composition, interaction modeling, and demo-ready interfaces for AI Proofs of Concept (POCs). This hands-on role is optimized for rapid prototyping, not full production UX lifecycle ownership. Responsibilities POC Experience Build & Prototyping: Translate early AI concepts into intuitive user flows and interaction models. 1. Build low- to mid-fidelity interfaces that support rapid experimentation. Focus on workflow clarity and usability signals. GenAI + UX Collaboration: Partner with AI and Prompt Engineers to build interfaces that clearly surface AI outputs. 1. Collaborate on conversational and AI-assisted interaction patterns. Compose how AI capabilities are exposed to users to build trust and understanding. Demo Readiness & Value Storytelling: Build UX artifacts for compelling demos. 1. Ensure POCs communicate the problem being solved, user interaction, and experience improvement. Support value storytelling through visuals and experience narratives. Rapid Iteration & Validation: Iterate builds quickly based on collaborator feedback. 1. Identify UX risks and usability gaps early. Support feasibility discussions by distinguishing experience-level constraints from technical constraints. Reusable Patterns & Lab Enablement: Contribute reusable UX patterns for common AI POC scenarios. 1. Mentor junior designers or engineers on UX thinking related to proof of concept work. Help establish lightweight UX standards suitable for experimentation-first environments. Qualifications Who You Are Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field. 10+ years of experience in UI/UX Engineering, Interaction Build, or Frontend-leaning UX roles. Demonstrated experience working on early-stage products or prototypes. Experience collaborating with engineering and product collaborators in ambiguous problem spaces. Build & Technical Skills Strong proficiency in interaction building, user flows, and wireframing. Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.). Ability to implement or support lightweight frontends (HTML/CSS/modern JS frameworks) is a strong plus. Understanding of UX considerations for AI-assisted or data-driven products. Ways of Working Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with evolving requirements. Strong communication skills to explain build decisions and trade-offs to non-designers. Bias toward speed and learning over perfection. What Success Looks Like POCs demonstrate both technical feasibility and user-experience viability. Collaborators can easily understand user workflows and value propositions through demos. UX patterns are reusable across multiple POCs, accelerating future cycles. Build insights inform go/no-go decisions for execution readiness. Additional Information Why Become a Part of the AI Innovation Lab? Build how innovative AI ideas are experienced and understood. Influence multiple high-impact POCs in a learning-first, experimentation-led environment passionate about speed and clarity! Our Engineering Culture Through our Agile/Lean DevOps environment, we foster a culture of innovation and experimentation. We collaborate closely with end users and product owners to rapidly respond to emerging business needs. Our belief in the power of diversity drives us to build the best products and experiences for our customers.
