Job Description

We're on a mission to empower people to build careers on their terms. What that means is building the career co-pilot that finally puts people, not companies, in control of their professional journey. We're reimagining what an agentic, intelligent system for career growth can be, and we need an engineer who specializes in interactive front-end development with AI integration.

Over 3 million people have already signed up for Teal. We've built an incredible foundation, and now we're ready to take things to the next level. This isn't just another SaaS role. It's a chance to create a new category: an AI-native career agent with real-time, streaming interactions. You will report directly to our CEO and shape how individuals engage with their work lives.

If you're excited about using AI to level the playing field in careers and pushing the boundaries of what's possible, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Build and iterate on interactive AI-powered interfaces that stream LLM responses in real time via WebSockets or Server-Sent Events, display partial results, and handle context switching smoothly
  • Contribute to front-end architecture decisions for dynamic APIs that power agentic workflows, manage chunked RAG responses, and surface AI-driven suggestions in the UI
  • Implement streaming logic with low-latency rendering, loading states, progressive hints, abort/retry flows, and fallback UIs
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on AI features, partnering closely with engineering and full product team members to integrate streaming APIs, provide UX feedback on AI orchestration, and ensure seamless user experiences
  • Optimize front-end performance by profiling and minimizing bundle sizes, lazy-loading AI SDKs, and virtualizing long chat histories or suggestion lists
  • Support design consistency by translating interactive AI patterns into accessible, responsive components that meet design system standards

Requirements

Frontend Excellence

  • 4+ years of production experience with React and TypeScript, shipping complex, interactive single-page applications
  • Hands-on experience with streaming data in the browser (WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, Fetch streams) to render incremental AI outputs
  • Strong UX sensibility and ability to anticipate user flows around AI, including when to show spinners, streaming indicators, abort controls, and contextual tips

AI Integration

  • Practical knowledge of LLM APIs and RAG pipelines, integrating OpenAI or Anthropic APIs on the front end, managing prompt tokens, and handling API errors gracefully

Team Collaboration

  • Comfort working with backend systems - ability to read Python code, understand API contracts, and collaborate effectively with AI/backend engineers on feature integration
  • U.S.-based and authorized to work in the United States (no sponsorship available)

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with edge-deployed functions (Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers) for inference or prompt preprocessing close to users
  • Familiarity with client-side caching of AI responses (IndexedDB, service workers) for offline-first AI interactions
  • Background in observable patterns (RxJS) to manage complex interactive streams
  • Prior work on AI-powered design systems or component libraries that adapt dynamically to model outputs
  • Experience collaborating with AI/ML teams or working in AI-focused product environments

Skills & Tools You Will Use And Learn

Expected Day One:

  • React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
  • WebSockets/SSE and React Query or SWR for data streaming
  • OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini APIs, LangChain JS
  • Modern bundling and performance optimization tools

You'll Learn on the Job:

  • Vercel edge functions
  • Python and FastAPI microservices (for collaboration, not ownership)
  • PostgreSQL or Supabase functions
  • Pinecone, Weaviate, or ChromaDB for embeddings (understanding, not implementation

  • Ship measurable improvements in loading performance, streaming reliability, or user engagement metrics
  • Become a reliable contributor for front-end AI patterns within the team

Month Three:

  • Contribute to the design and rollout of a major interactive AI feature that wows users
  • Help influence front-end architecture for scalable streaming and agentic workflows
  • Share knowledge with teammates on best practices for AI interactivity and performance
