Senior Frontend Engineer

About the role:

You.com is an innovative AI productivity tool designed to help you get more done.

The platform was founded by prominent AI researchers Richard Socher, former Chief Scientist at Salesforce and a TIME100 AI honoree for 2023, and Bryan McCann, specializing in deep learning and natural language processing.

Recognized as one of Time’s “Best Inventions” of 2022 and listed among Fortune’s 50 AI Innovators in 2023, you.com pioneered the first search engine to integrate a consumer-facing LLM with direct internet access, providing accurate, verifiable, and up-to-date responses.

We are hiring a world-class team of software engineers to architect, implement, and deploy a consumer-facing product that harnesses AI to surface trusted information for more confident user decisions.

In these nascent stages, you must be comfortable experimenting rapidly: working with the founding team to implement new, experimental interfaces and ultimately deploy the best solution in regular, early product releases.

While you can execute implementation and experimentation independently, you thrive in collaborative environments. You can integrate active user feedback into your vision for the product and work with designers and engineers to bring your vision to You.com.

What you need: 

• You have experience designing, implementing, running, and maintaining production front-end code using React, NextJS, CSS, and other frameworks

• You have experience testing complex full-stack applications using tools like Playwright, Cypress and Storybook

• You have experience with scalable, user-facing applications that require complex state management, real-time user events, and intricate UI/UX for both mobile and desktop

• You can quickly iterate with product and design teams as part of a tight user-validated feedback loop

• You’re passionate about details; you strive for pixel-perfect front-end code and lightning-fast load times

• You understand the importance of reliable monitoring, deployment strategies, and a highly scalable and robust cloud infrastructure

• You have experience with best practices and patterns that allow the most skilled engineering teams to communicate effectively and deliver quickly and regularly

• You want to write high-quality code and build a world-class engineering team

• You are electrified by the possibilities and challenges of rapidly shipping and iterating on user-facing code and building a consumer application with high public visibility

• You have a strong portfolio of prior work that you are proud to reference and demonstrate

Culturally:

• You are a kind, friendly person and strive to create a kind, inclusive workplace filled with smiles and laughter

• You take and give feedback graciously as part of growing individually and as a team

• You will take joy in collaborative brainstorming and proposing novel extensions

• You want to play an active role throughout the process of delivering your work to users

• You are always willing to learn what you do not know

• You are dependable and take pride in your work

• You enjoy jumping in to help others with whatever part of the product they are building

• You want to be part of defining and building a team around a vision and technology that has a direct path to improving the daily lives of people worldwide.

Our Compensation:

• The role is considered a P4 in our role-leveling system inspired by PAVE
