About the role
Senior Front-End Engineer (AI-First) to own and shape the user-facing product end to end, building polished, high-performance interfaces and AI-driven tooling within a small but growing engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Own the front-end architecture for core product surfaces, making thoughtful decisions around state management, data fetching, performance, and scalability.
- Build responsive, accessible, and high-performance UIs using modern front-end technologies (e.g. React, Next.js, TypeScript).
- Design, develop, and evolve a shared component library / design system, ensuring consistency, usability, and maintainability as the product grows.
- Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define API contracts (REST / SSE / GraphQL) and ensure smooth, efficient data flow between frontend and backend.
- Build AI-first, realtime user experiences, including streaming and interactive components that respond dynamically to backend and model outputs.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools (code generation, refactoring, testing, linting, review) as a core part of your workflow to increase velocity while maintaining high code quality.
- Partner deeply with Product and Design to translate UX concepts and wireframes into production-ready features, proactively identifying edge cases, trade-offs, and implementation risks.
- Drive performance, accessibility, and quality across the front-end stack (load times, responsiveness, cross-browser support, a11y).
- Set and uphold high engineering standards: write clean, testable code; lead by example in code reviews; help define front-end best practices and patterns.
Qualifications
- Several years of professional front-end engineering experience (or equivalent), with deep hands-on experience building production applications using modern JavaScript / TypeScript frameworks (e.g. React, Next.js).
- Strong mastery of HTML, CSS, and modern styling approaches (CSS-in-JS, design tokens, component-based styling), with a deep understanding of browser behavior, layout, and performance.
- Proven experience owning and evolving complex front-end systems, not just implementing features.
- Experience integrating with backend APIs (REST / GraphQL / streaming APIs) and collaborating closely with backend teams on system design.
- Experience building or supporting realtime, streaming, or AI-driven UI components.
- Strong product and UX instincts - comfortable working with designers and product managers to refine flows, interactions, and edge cases.
- High standards for code quality and maintainability; experience with testing strategies, CI/CD workflows, and version control (Git).
- Strong interest in - and comfort with - AI-augmented engineering workflows, using AI tools to accelerate development without sacrificing correctness or quality.
