- Integrate frontend systems with backend AI services and APIs
- Contribute to frontend architecture, design systems, and technical strategy
- Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering leadership
- Work in a high-autonomy environment, taking ownership of ambiguous problems
- Rapidly prototype and ship features leveraging modern AI development tools

- Strong product intuition and focus on user experience
- Ability to operate independently and take ownership of features
- Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset
Preferred
- Experience building real-time or multiplayer applications (WebSockets, CRDTs, etc.)
- Experience at both Big Tech and startups (ideal trajectory)
- Familiarity with AI-powered product development or LLM integrations
- Experience with modern frontend tooling (Redux, design systems, component libraries)
- Strong academic background (STEM from top-tier institutions)
- Experience with design tools (Figma, Sketch)
Compensation and Benefits
- Competitive base salary: $145,000 – $215,000
- Competitive equity package
- Hybrid work flexibility (3 days/week in Palo Alto)
- High ownership as an early engineering hire (team of ~8)
- Work directly with experienced leadership from top tech companies

This is an ideal role for frontend-focused engineers who want to build complex, AI-powered user experiences from the ground up in a high-ownership startup environment.
