## About the Role

* Code-first builder with exceptional design taste - You're a front-end engineer who happens to have a great eye for design. You can debate the merits of Server Components vs Client Components as easily as you can critique visual hierarchy.

## Description

* Full-stack front-end engineer - Comfortable working across the entire front-end stack, from API integration and state management to responsive layouts and micro-interactions. Bonus if you can jump into Python backends when needed.
 * Owner, not executor - You prototype quickly, gather feedback, iterate fast, and ship confidently. You take features from zero to production and own the outcomes.
 * Product-minded engineer - You push back on designs that don't serve users, suggest improvements to the product direction, and think deeply about user flows. You build with empathy and intention.
 * Comfortable in ambiguity - You thrive when the problem space is undefined. You're energized by questions like "how should people discover Delphi's?" rather than paralyzed by them., * Build the core interfaces of Delphi Studio - Own and ship the primary user-facing features: creation flows, customization tools, and interaction patterns. You'll write the React components, build the APIs integrations, and polish every detail.
 * Create a discovery platform for digital minds - Design and implement the browsing experience, search functionality, filtering systems, and recommendation interfaces. Make exploring thousands of AI personas feel effortless and delightful.
 * Architect scalable front-end systems - Build reusable component libraries, establish patterns for state management, optimize bundle sizes, and ensure the app performs beautifully at scale.
 * Translate AI complexity into simple UX - Work directly with product and backend engineers to understand AI capabilities, then build interfaces that expose the power while hiding the complexity.
 * Set the standard for quality - Your code will be the example others follow. Write clean TypeScript, build accessible components, implement smooth animations, and establish the bar for what "production-ready" means.
 * Collaborate across disciplines - Partner closely with designers to refine mockups and improve interactions. Work with backend engineers to define API contracts. Sync with product to shape roadmap priorities.
