About The Position

This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering and application development. You’ll build customer-facing features from scratch, while also helping us integrate and scale the AI infrastructure that power them. You're deeply fluent in TypeScript and React, strong enough on the backend to own a feature end-to-end, and have meaningful experience building AI applications. You craft fast, polished, reliable software and you're drawn to problems that are genuinely unsolved. We're looking for full stack engineers and those who lean more towards frontend. Full stack. You understand applied AI well past the API layer: building systems that stay reliable when the model is unpredictable, writing evals that surface real signal, designing agentic workflows that hold up under production conditions. You've shipped RAG, tool calling, memory, or multi-agent patterns to real users and you know where each one breaks down. Frontend. You notice things other engineers don't. The easing curve that's slightly off. The transition that happens too fast to register. The empty state that was clearly an afterthought. In a product where AI does most of the heavy lifting, the interface is where trust is built or broken — and you hold that line. You've built design systems from the ground up and have a point of view on motion, interaction, and what makes an AI-generated surface feel considered rather than random.

Requirements

Production-grade React, NextJS, and TypeScript
Strong backend experience: async systems, API design, schema decisions, scaling under real load
For full stack: applied AI in production like RAG, tool calling, memory, multi-agent patterns, and the ability to write evals and reason about whether a system is actually improving
For frontend: design systems, animation and motion, data-fetching patterns (TanStack Query, tRPC), and deep care for browser fundamentals and performance
