About Frontier

Frontier is building the system for running high-stakes decisions at the organisations that run critical parts of the economy — hospitals, life sciences companies, manufacturers.

Frontier is an Intelligent Decision System that combines enterprise data, AI, simulation, optimisation, and human judgement to support the full decision loop — from understanding a situation, to evaluating options, to taking action and learning from the outcome.

We don’t believe in AI that thinks for people. We believe in AI that helps people think - humans and agents working together inside a decision system. Done well, people operate with more speed, more evidence, and more confidence than they ever could alone.

We’re starting with clinical development decisions in life sciences — one of the highest-stakes, highest-complexity decision environments there is — and architecting to scale from there.

Frontier is a product of the company, an AI company that's been working with some of the world's most consequential organisations since 2014..

About Design at Frontier

We’re a small team, growing deliberately - we’d rather have five designers who trust each other than fifteen who don't.

We're tightly integrated with engineering. We prototype in code. We co‑own the design system with developers. We're actively exploring what agentic‑augmented design work looks like in practice, not in think pieces — and we're honest when we don't have the answer yet.

We’re active in shaping the product culture at Frontier; putting people first, raising the quality bar and ensuring a coherent experience. You’ll be part of shaping that culture.

About the role

You’ll be one of the most senior designers on Frontier, shaping a product that’s still early enough that the decisions you make will define how it works for years.

Day to day, you’ll be designing the surfaces where people and agents collaborate on real clinical decisions — how evidence gets surfaced, how recommendations get explained, how humans push back, how teams learn. This is hard, unsolved design work. The existing patterns for AI interfaces mostly come from consumer chat products; they don’t transfer cleanly to environments where the cost of a bad decision is measured in years of research or patient outcomes.

You’ll be expected to work end-to-end: from framing the problem with product and engineering, through prototyping in code and design canvases, through shipping. You’ll help set the craft bar for the team, mentor the designers around you, and push back when something isn’t good enough yet.

What you’ll work on

• Designing the core interaction patterns for how humans and agents collaborate inside a decision loop.
• Making dense, analytical information legible for expert users who need to trust it, challenge it, and act on it.
• Shaping the shared design language and system that lets a small team move quickly without the product fragmenting.
• Partnering with engineering from day one of any problem, not from handoff.
• Raising the bar for craft — through your own work, through critique, and through the standards you hold the team to.

We think you’ll do well here if

• You’ve shipped complex software for expert users, in a domain where getting it wrong has real consequences.
• You design end-to-end and care about the pixels as much as the strategy.
• You’ve done serious work on AI or other non-deterministic systems and have opinions about what works and what doesn’t.
• You’re comfortable prototyping in code, or motivated to get there.
• You’re direct, kind, and can hold a clear point of view without needing to be the loudest in the room.
• You want the people who use your product to have better working lives because of it.

You might not enjoy this role if

• You want to work on a mature product with established patterns. Frontier is early, and the ambiguity is real.
• You prefer to work handoff‑style, away from engineers.
• You’re looking for a role where design sets direction in isolation from product and engineering. We work as one team.
