Creative Technologist / AI Interaction Designer
12-month contract | £55.77 per hour PAYE | London, King's Cross | Hybrid: Tuesday–Thursday onsite

Help shape how people experience AI.
We're looking for a creative, hands-on designer to join an innovative team at the forefront of AI research, exploring how emerging technologies can be transformed into engaging, intuitive and interactive experiences.
This is not a traditional UX design role. We're interested in people who combine creative thinking, an understanding of user interaction and a passion for experimenting with new technology.
You might come from game design, creative technology, interactive UX, digital experiences or a less conventional background. What matters most is your ability to turn ambitious ideas into something tangible.

What you'll do

• Explore and develop creative concepts that bring emerging AI capabilities to life through interactive experiences.
• Rapidly prototype and experiment with ideas, using AI tools and other creative technologies to demonstrate possibilities.
• Design intuitive user journeys, interactions and engaging experiences that put the user at the centre.
• Collaborate closely with researchers, engineers and designers in small, multidisciplinary teams.
• Experiment with generative AI and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate creative exploration.
• Present ideas, demonstrate your work and gather feedback to refine concepts quickly.
• Contribute across multiple experimental projects in a fast-moving, highly creative environment.

What you'll bring

• Experience in creative technology, interaction design, game design, interactive products or a related discipline.
• Strong creative thinking and the ability to translate ideas into compelling, user-focused experiences.
• Experience developing interactive concepts, prototypes or digital experiences.
• An interest in generative AI, with some practical experimentation using AI tools or AI-assisted workflows.
• An understanding of user experience, interaction design and how people engage with technology.
• A proactive, self-starting approach, with the confidence to explore ideas and present your work.
• The ability to collaborate with technical teams and adapt quickly as projects evolve.

Nice to have

• Experience with game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot.
• Familiarity with front-end technologies, scripting or AI-assisted prototyping.
• Experience developing AI-powered products or interactive experiences.
• Exposure to gaming, immersive technology, education or sustainability projects.

Show us what you've created
We're particularly interested in seeing examples of your work, whether that's an interactive prototype, a playable experience, a digital product, a demo reel or an experimental personal project.

You don't need to have followed a traditional career path or shipped a major commercial product. We're looking for people who can demonstrate creativity, curiosity and the ability to bring ideas to life.

If you're excited by the opportunity to experiment with AI, explore new ideas and create experiences that people genuinely want to use, we'd love to hear from you.
