About the role

Staff Frontend Software Engineer on the AI Products team for Observe by Snowflake, an AI-powered observability platform. Lead frontend architecture, mentor engineers, and shape how agentic AI capabilities, real-time integrations, and developer tooling come together to transform production systems within Observe. Role combines technical leadership, frontend engineering at scale, and collaboration with product and design to deliver AI-native observability tools.

Responsibilities

  • Set technical direction for the AI Products frontend architecture, making foundational decisions about component systems, state management, and rendering strategies that scale across a rapidly growing product surface
  • Opportunity to work on the AI SRE product, Observe's flagship tool that helps engineering teams resolve production issues 10x faster through AI-powered signal correlation, driving its frontend architecture from concept through production
  • Design and build agentic AI interfaces that surface complex multi-step reasoning, tool-use results, and real-time streaming responses in ways that feel immediate, trustworthy, and actionable to users
  • Contribute to the design and development of the Observe Slack integration, creating real-time conversational surfaces that allow users to interact with the AI SRE agent directly inside their existing workflows, and own the technical strategy for future platform integrations
  • Contribute to the CLI tooling and evaluation pipelines, defining the developer experience for interacting with Observe's agentic systems and ensuring model and system quality through rigorous evals
  • Expand Observe's Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, and extension architecture that grows the reach and capability of our agentic AI systems
  • Mentor and elevate engineers across the team through code review, architecture guidance, design documents, and pair programming, raising the technical bar for the entire AI Products group
  • Collaborate deeply with product, and design to shape the product roadmap, influence what gets built, and ensure every feature is as thoughtful in user experience as it is technically sound

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 6 years focused on frontend engineering shipping production products at scale
  • Expert-level TypeScript proficiency, non-negotiable for the role; idiomatic, type-safe code and opinions about structuring large TypeScript codebases
  • Deep experience building complex, interactive web applications, ownership of entire product surfaces and long-lasting architectural decisions
  • Production experience with agentic AI systems and tool-use patterns, hands-on with SDKs like the Vercel AI SDK, Anthropic Agent SDK, LangGraph, or equivalent
  • Strong server-side Node.js experience (Express, Hono, Fastify, or similar) including API, middleware, and backend services
  • Experience implementing or consuming MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and designing extensible tool interfaces for LLM-powered systems
  • Demonstrated technical leadership, architecture decisions, RFCs or design docs, influence beyond immediate team
  • Product-obsessed mindset prioritizing user outcomes and challenging designs that don’t serve the user
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience
