Frontend Engineering Lead

We are a well-funded, rapidly growing, early-stage AI startup headquartered in Silicon Valley that is building a two-sided product -- one side meant for global consumers and the other side for AI builders and researchers. We work on the cutting edge of AI across the stack. Check out our product that was launched recently, and how it solves the foundational challenge of robust and trustworthy AI model evaluations. Here's more information about us.

Are you ready to have the ride of a lifetime together with some of the smartest and most seasoned colleagues? You’ll work on challenging, large-scale problems at the cutting edge of AI to build novel products that touch millions of users globally, in a massive and growing market opportunity.

Yupp’s founding team is highly experienced and comes from companies like Twitter, Google, Coinbase, Microsoft and Paypal. This team is one of the smartest, most fun, cracked top talent you will ever work with. Our work culture provides a high degree of autonomy, ownership and impact. It’s intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future of AI alongside others who are at the top of their game and expect the same from you, there’s no better AI startup to be.

At Yupp, you will experience both the excitement of building for a large scale global user base as well as for the deeply technical audience of AI model builders and researchers. You’ll get immersed in and learn all about the latest and greatest AI models and agents. You’ll interact with AI builders and researchers from other AI labs all around the world.

We are a mostly in-person startup, but we are also flexible – you can usually work from home when you need to and come in and leave when you want to. Many employees work from home on average 1 day a week.

We are looking for an experienced front-end engineer, who is excited to bring their recent and battle-tested front-end building experience in consumer products to a fresh new AI startup.
