**Lead UX Engineer**
**Full time Permanent Position - 40 hours per week**
This is your opportunity to join our Information Services team who are doing awesome things and making a real difference to education in New Zealand
Whakatairangatia nga kete o te matauranga ki te ao marama E te tai whakarunga, e te tai whakararo - nau piki mai, nau kake mai ki te Mana Tohu Matauranga o Aotearoa.
- May the baskets of knowledge (education) be brought into the world of light._ _We welcome one and all to join us at the New Zealand Qualifications Authority._
**About the role**
We're looking for a Lead UX Engineer to help uplift NZQA's front-end development and user experience capability across our digital products.
This role sits at the intersection of UX practice and technology - combining hands-on front-end engineering with user-centred ways of working. The role blends hands-on engineering with user-centred design, working across Information Services, Customer Experience & Analytics (CE&A), and the wider organisation.
You'll lead the technical development of our design system, champion accessibility, guide UI implementation, and mentor developers. A key focus is supporting digital assessment tools-ensuring they're usable, inclusive, and technically robust.
**About you**
You'll bring both technical depth and a people focused mindset. You are comfortable writing clean, modern front-end code while also mentoring others and guiding best practice. You're equally at home discussing design systems, accessibility, and usability as you are working with React components or CI/CD pipelines.
**Essential skills and experience**
- 5+ years in front-end development (or equivalent experience)
- Expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and AWS tooling
- Skilled in design systems (Storybook, Figma) and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1+)
- Strong foundation in UX design, research, and usability testing
- Proven experience in mentoring, collaboration, and agile environments
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
**About us**
If you would like to discuss further, please call **John Berry**on **021 862 514**.
