About the Role  

As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’ll be instrumental in designing and building the end-to-end user experience of our platform. You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to translate complex requirements into elegant, responsive, and performant interfaces. Beyond building, you’ll set standards, mentor peers, and play a key role in scaling both our product and our engineering practices. 

Responsibilities

• Own the End-to-End Frontend - Translate designs (Figma, wireframes, product specs) into production-ready code. Build and maintain reusable components, design systems, and UI patterns for speed and consistency. 
• Drive Technical Quality & Best Practices - Introduce testing frameworks (unit, integration, E2E) and enforce high code quality. Establish frontend best practices (linting, CI/CD pipelines, accessibility standards). 
• Influence Architecture & Tech Choices - Make early decisions around frameworks, state management, styling systems, and frontend tooling. Advocate for the right balance of speed vs. scalability in architecture choices. 
• Wear Multiple Hats - Jump in on DevOps, analytics, or even light backend integration when needed. Help with customer-facing issues (debugging, bug fixes, UI polish) in real time. 

Requirements 

• 5+ years of professional front-end development experience. 
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. 
• Strong expertise in React, Next.js, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS (TailwindCSS or similar). 
• Solid understanding of JavaScript (ES6+), modern browser APIs, RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and WebSockets. 
• Experience with front-end performance optimization techniques such as lazy loading, code splitting, and caching. 
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with evolving priorities and minimal oversight. 

Nice to Have 

• Experience with LangGraph, LangChain, or similar AI/agentic frameworks. 
• Exposure to AI frontend tools like AI SDK, Assistant UI, or comparable interactive agent interfaces. 
• Experience with Supabase or other modern databases. 
• Proficiency in Python for backend development or scripting. 
• Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AWS and Vercel for deployment and cloud workflows.
