• Monitor, maintain, and optimize the frontend platform’s responsiveness, availability, and user experience.
• Partner with backend and cross-functional teams to integrate APIs and support backend services that power AI inference and data retrieval.
• Use AI coding assistants (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar tools) as an integral component of your day-to-day software development workflow.

Our ideal software engineer will have:

• 3+ years of professional experience designing and building production web applications.
• Actively use AI coding assistants in daily engineering workflows
• Strong hands-on proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and the modern React ecosystem.
