Software Engineer II, Frontend Agentic AI

OktaSan Francisco, CA
$140,000 - $192,000Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for a software engineer to build the interfaces people use to work with autonomous AI workers. This is not a dashboard job. Our users chat with agents that run for hours, steer them mid-task, inspect what an agent remembers, approve or reject its actions, and watch it work in real time. You will own those surfaces: the chat experience, the memory and context views, the live run timeline, and the approval flows that keep a human in charge. You will define what agentic interfaces look like—because most of the patterns you will ship do not exist yet. This is a senior individual contributor role requiring a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of front-end engineering experience with deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern state management (hooks, context, state machines).
  • Experience building chat, copilot, or other LLM-powered interfaces in production.
  • Hands-on experience with real-time UIs: WebSockets, server-sent events, streaming rendering, and reconnection handling.
  • Strong product sense and the ability to design interaction patterns where no standard exists yet.
  • Experience integrating front ends with LLM APIs and handling streamed, partial, and structured model outputs.
  • Experience translating designs into fast, polished, responsive production code.
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with users to refine the experience.

Nice To Haves

  • Shipped a chat or agent product used by thousands of users.
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent) and AI front-end SDKs such as the Vercel AI SDK.
  • Experience with design systems, accessibility standards, and component library ownership.
  • Experience visualizing complex processes: timelines, graphs, or workflow builders.
  • Prior experience at a high-growth venture-backed AI or SaaS startup.

Responsibilities

  • Build the conversational interface for long-horizon agents: streaming responses, tool calls shown as they happen, pause and interrupt controls, and mid-task steering.
  • Design and ship memory management interfaces that let users see what an agent knows, edit or delete memories, and understand what context the agent is using and why.
  • Build live agent run views: plans, steps, artifacts, retries, and results, rendered in real time over WebSockets or server-sent events.
  • Build human-in-the-loop approval surfaces for agent actions that write to external systems, with clear diffs of what the agent is about to do.
  • Build the Worker Builder interface where users design and configure their own digital workers in natural language.
  • Manage complex client state for long-running agent sessions: reconnection, optimistic updates, partial results, and failure recovery.
  • Create a reusable component library for agentic patterns so every new worker ships with a consistent, polished interface.
  • Handle model output honestly in the UI: citations, uncertainty, errors, and empty states that tell the user the truth.
  • Work daily with backend and agent engineers to shape the APIs and event streams the interfaces consume.
  • Optimize for performance across devices and keep the experience fast while an agent streams thousands of events.

Benefits

  • equity (where applicable)
  • bonus
  • health, dental and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • flexible spending account
  • paid leave (including PTO and parental leave)
