As a Midweight UI Designer at the UK’s largest supermarket, you’ll be bringing to life experiences that help millions of people shop better. You’ll work on new opportunities, crafting intuitive and pixel-perfect solutions that improve every stage of a customer’s shopping journey. And you’ll iterate, test, learn and grow as a designer.

Audiences don't get bigger or more diverse than this. We have 11 million active app users and over 1 million online grocery orders a week. So, you’ll really need to know your onions. That includes a big appetite for innovative interaction design, prototyping and testing, and data and analytics.

Collaboration mixed with expertise and insight is the recipe for successful design. So, you’ll be working with some of the finest UX and UI designers, researchers, UX writers, service designers, data and analytics experts, product managers and developers.

Our secret ingredient is our Digital Design System. So, you’ll need experience good using one, whether it's just a pinch to improve a prototype or a big dollop to shape a whole user journey.

Here’s a taste of what you can expect.

You’ll join a business that values your expertise, experience and insight. That nurtures your personal and career growth, with opportunities for every stage of your journey. You'll be a crucial member of a hardworking team comprising individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds who share your determination and motivation. You'll enjoy a hybrid role that creates the perfect work/life balance, helping you be who you are both professionally and personally. And a benefits package that’s more than competitive.
