About The Position

We are looking for an AI Front-end Engineer who wants to learn at the intersection of product design and frontend engineering. You care deeply about craft and have strong frontend fundamentals, but you're early in your career and hungry to grow. You'll work directly with senior engineers and designers to build AI-native workflows that make complex enterprise tools feel intuitive. We do not require a CS or Engineering degree. We care about your portfolio, side projects, and your hunger to learn and ship.

Requirements

Strong frontend fundamentals with design sensibility
Comfortable with React and have built real projects
Understand the basics of component architecture and care about how things look and feel
Familiar with modern web technologies
Worked with React, TypeScript, and CSS frameworks like Tailwind
Eager to learn best practices and write cleaner code every day
AI-curious and eager to experiment
Hungry to ship quickly and learn from feedback
Detail-oriented and quality-conscious
Collaborative and coachable
Energized by hard problems
1-2 years of shipping production code (or exceptional new grads with strong portfolios)

Nice To Haves

Excited to learn the nuances of performance optimization and advanced patterns
May not have mastered them yet, but you're eager to learn best practices and write cleaner code every day
Have tried tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or v0.dev and see their potential to accelerate your work
Excited to learn how to use AI tools effectively to prototype faster and focus on solving hard problems
Willing to make tradeoffs and understand that done is often better than perfect when you're learning
Notice when things feel off—animations that are janky, layouts that shift, or colors that don't quite work
Want to build things that feel good to use, even if you're still learning how to achieve that consistently
Ask good questions, take feedback well, and are excited to learn from people with more experience
Comfortable saying "I don't know" and then figuring it out
See challenging UI problems as opportunities to grow
Bring enthusiasm and a positive attitude even when things are ambiguous or difficult

Responsibilities

Build production UI components, integrate with backend APIs, and contribute to features that ship to real users.
Work within existing component libraries and patterns, contributing new components and learning best practices for state management, API integration, and performance optimization.
Work with designers to implement their vision and with backend engineers to understand what's possible.
Work directly with senior engineers on real problems, getting hands-on experience with AI-powered workflows, enterprise-scale applications, and modern frontend architecture.
