Job description

UX / UI Engineer

• Location: Amsterdam (On-site / hybrid)
• Language: Dutch / English
• Type: Full-time

About Toppi

Toppi is revolutionizing how restaurants stay visible online. In a world where AI-driven search is changing how guests discover where to eat, our AI-driven solutions empower restaurants to attract more guests now and future-proof their online visibility. With hundreds of restaurants already onboard, we're growing fast and looking for ambitious talent to join us on this journey.

Your Role

We are a tight-knit team of 7 with a strong foundation in backend, AI and data infrastructure. We're missing a crucial piece of the puzzle to take our product to the next level: a UX/UI Engineer with a strong passion for design and UX. You won't just be handed Figma files to build — you will be the driving force behind how our product looks and feels. You will design, build and ship frontend features end-to-end, work closely with the founders and help define how restaurants compete in the age of AI. You'll:

• Own the Frontend & UI/UX: take the lead on designing and building our web app (React, TypeScript, Tailwind).
• Design & Prototype: create intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and flows. You don't need to be a pixel-perfect graphic designer, but you need a great eye for UX and the ability to mock up and iterate on designs.
• Bridge the Gap: join our tech team to translate complex data and AI outputs into simple, beautiful experiences for restaurant owners.
• Establish Best Practices: help shape and scale our frontend engineering practices, design system and code quality.
• Move Fast: work in tight loops with customers, turning insights into shipped solutions.

Who You Are

Bonus points if you have experience building and maintaining component libraries or design systems (we currently use shadcn/ui and Tailwind), experience with data visualization on the frontend, familiarity working alongside FastAPI backends, or an interest in the hospitality industry or AI products.

• 2+ years of hands-on experience building and shipping frontend products, primarily using React.
• Design-minded: you care deeply about user experience, interaction design and how things look, and love making products feel 'snappy' and intuitive.
• Self-starter: you thrive in an environment where you are the go-to expert for frontend and design within the tech team.
• Product-focused: you care about the why, not just the how, and want to solve real problems for users.
• Language: you speak Dutch and are fluent in English.

What We Offer

• A fast-growing startup where your work has immediate impact.
• Competitive salary and equity opportunities.
• A top-notch office in the heart of Amsterdam (on the canals, garden, and all the tools and perks a tech ninja needs).
• Direct collaboration with the founders (product, tech, and business).
• Team activities: from weekly drinks to boat rides through the canals.
• A steep learning curve and a high-performing, ambitious team.
