Our product works today and at scale, across industries, regions, and limitless use cases.

As the 3rd fastest-growing B2B AI start-up worldwide, we're at the forefront of the AI revolution, providing the most widely-used platform for sophisticated AI agents.

The work ahead is ambitious. The opportunity is rare. We take a deliberate approach to growth : product-led, capital-efficient, and highly focused.

If you want to build foundational technology for one of the most meaningful platform shifts in software, we're looking for top talent to join us.

Key Highlights :

• 700,000+ platform users
• Trusted by 35% of Fortune 500 companies
• 7 years of expertise in AI solutions

About the Role

We're looking for a Lead Front-End Developer to head up our front-end team. You'll be responsible not just for writing high-quality code, but for leading a team of developers, setting technical direction, and driving collaboration across engineering, product, and design.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll write production code, mentor others, shape the future of our user experience, establish best practices, and help scale a front-end architecture that supports rapid growth.

You'll collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams to ship beautiful, intuitive, and high-performance user experiences.

Responsibilities

• Lead front-end architecture decisions and guide the implementation of scalable, maintainable solutions
• Collaborate with designers to turn mockups and prototypes into polished, high-performing features
• Write clean, modern, well-tested TypeScript and React code
• Own our design system and enforce visual and interaction consistency across the app
• Review code, mentor developers, and help grow front-end expertise across the team
• Continuously improve performance, accessibility, and usability
• Partner with product and engineering leads to shape roadmap priorities and execution plans
• Keep up with modern front-end best practices and advocate for the right tools and workflows

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in front-end development, with at least 1-2 years in a senior or lead role
• Strong understanding of UI / UX principles, responsive design, and accessibility standards
• Experience architecting complex SPAs with performance and scalability in mind
• Familiarity with design systems, component libraries, and design-to-code workflows
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to give and receive technical feedback
• A product mindset — you care about the user experience as much as the implementation
