About The Position

Applied Intuition is seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in frontend engineering and design systems. The role will shape how teams build, share, and ship user interfaces across the company’s products, making UI-heavy libraries and tools faster and more consistent to develop. The engineer will also help develop standards for interfaces that support AI-driven, dynamically generated experiences.

The position involves independently owning problems from initial design through production, serving as a technical leader, and helping other engineers build high-quality software in an AI-native environment. The role is based primarily in an Applied Intuition office five days per week for full-time employees, with occasional remote work and schedule flexibility. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions.
