Here’s what you’ll do:
- Own the frontend experience end-to-end — from architecture and implementation to polish, performance, and long-term maintainability.
- Build and ship high-performance product experiences in TypeScript/JavaScript and React, with a strong focus on usability, speed, and quality.
- Translate ambiguous ideas and complex user needs into elegant, scalable interfaces that evolve with the product.
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on new features and workflows, leveraging AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate learning, experimentation, and execution.
- Design AI-native user experiences for products powered by LLMs, agents, and frontier models — making advanced capabilities intuitive, reliable, and trustworthy.
- Help shape technical and product direction as a founding engineer, influencing frontend architecture, engineering standards, and team velocity.
- Raise the bar for engineering quality through code reviews, technical design discussions, and strong practices in testing, observability, and performance.
- Monitor, profile, and optimize frontend performance, identifying bottlenecks and ensuring a smooth experience as the product scales.
- Contribute beyond the frontend when needed (e.g., backend integrations in Node.js, debugging across the stack, internal tooling) to help the team move faster.
Here are the skills you should have:
- 4+ years of experience building modern web applications with strong ownership of shipped product experiences.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, and React.
- Strong understanding of frontend architecture, reusable component systems, and state management patterns.
- Experience integrating with APIs and collaborating closely with backend engineers to ship end-to-end features.
- Product-minded engineering instincts: you care deeply about UX quality, speed, and developer/user experience.
- Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, early-stage environments with high ownership and rapid iteration.
- Familiarity with AI products, LLMs, or agent-based workflows, or strong curiosity and enthusiasm to learn quickly.
- Clear communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
Bonus Points:
- Experience contributing to backend services (Node.js, Express, or similar).
- Experience building developer tools, AI products, or technical workflows.
- Experience designing interfaces for AI-assisted or agentic product experiences.
- Experience building 0→1 products or working on a founding/startup team.
- Strong eye for product quality and interaction details.
