Job description

Own the UI layer - from vision to production. You're not just writing components. You're shaping how our product feels.

  • Architect and build production-grade frontends for AI agent products using React/Next.js
  • Design interaction patterns for natural language and agent-driven UIs - the kind of interfaces nobody has fully figured out yet
  • Brief and shape visual design with a strong sense for UX and layout - you don't need to push pixels, but you need to know what great looks like
  • Translate business requirements into product thinking - you understand why we're building, not just what
  • Establish frontend best practices: component architecture, testing strategies, code quality, CI/CD
  • Work at the speed of AI while maintaining the quality bar of production software

Requirements

Do you have experience in React?, You have deep experience shipping real applications - probably years of it. You understand frontend architecture at a level where you can make big decisions confidently: state management, performance, component design, API integration, accessibility.

The AI-native workflow.

You've gone through the painful learning curve of AI-assisted development and come out the other side. You know the pitfalls. You have your own system. You can build a complete, production-ready feature in a fraction of the time it used to take - without cutting corners.

The product thinker.

You don't just build what's specified. You understand the business context. You push back when something doesn't make sense. You have opinions about UX and you can articulate them.

The quality bar.

AI-generated code without discipline is a liability. You know this. You write tests. You review thoroughly. You keep architecture clean even when moving fast. You evaluate, iterate, and refine.

Bonus: You've been here before.

Ideally, you've already worked on AI-first interfaces - conversational UIs, agent interactions, natural language input patterns. You know firsthand what works and what doesn't when the interface is the AI.

About the company

The world is full of developers learning to use AI. It's full of AI companies building backends. What's rare is the intersection: someone who deeply understands UI architecture, has genuine product and design sensibility, AND has already mastered AI-first development workflows. That's a tiny group of people right now. And we want one of them. You won't just be building a product. You'll be defining what AI-agent interfaces look like - for our company and potentially for the industry. That's not something you get to do in most jobs.
