About the role

We are seeking a Senior Front-End Engineer (AI-First) to join our small but growing engineering team.

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.
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).
lead by example in code reviews
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).

Required / Core Skills
Proven experience owning and evolving complex front-end systems, not just implementing features.
experience with testing strategies, CI/CD workflows, and version control (Git).
Deep experience with TypeScript in large-scale front-end codebases.
Experience working in a fast-moving startup or AI-native product environment.

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.
