LeadAI‑AugmentedFront‑EndEngineer (Founding Team)

Build the interface that turns human ideas into action—using AI as your development copilot, not a replacement for people.

Truey’s mission is to create a world of abundance and trust by combining human ingenuity with transparent, innovative productivity tools. We’re pre‑launch and focused on shipping our first product—the MVP is near completion, there are no users to migrate, and plenty of innovation is needed.

Why You Might Love This Role

• Founding‑level ownership – you will set the front‑end architecture and coding standards from day one.
• AI‑first engineering playground – we cover Copilot & GPT credits, share an evolving prompt‑library, and actively encourage new experiments in AI‑generated tests, reviews, and developer tooling.
• Tight senior team – direct access to the founder, quick decisions, and clear impact.
• Mission with values – we earmark a portion of future revenue for an Abundance Fund supporting open knowledge projects.

What You’ll Do

• Own the entire front‑end codebase—performance, accessibility, testing, and DX.
• Pair with the back‑end lead on schema evolution and data‑flow patterns.
• Embed AI into everyday dev workflows—linting, reviews, test stubs, docs.
• Mentor future hires and shape the engineering culture we scale around.
• 7+years of professional front‑end engineering experience (or 5+years with demonstrably rapid advancement and leadership impact).
• Deep React+TypeScript expertise and a track record of leading front‑end initiatives.
• Comfort working alongside async‑Python back ends and GraphQL (Relay experience a plus).
• A performance mindset—you monitor and optimise LCP, CLS, etc., not just ship features.
• Enthusiasm for in‑person, whiteboard‑heavy collaboration in LosAngeles.

If you’re excited but don’t tick every box, please apply—we value growth mindset over perfect resumes.

• Founder intro (30min) – A quick conversation about mission, culture, and your goals.
• System‑design session (60min) – A collaborative whiteboard problem with our engineering lead—no leet‑code.
• Paid build test (1‑week window) – Your choice of a short take‑home project (≤10hrs) or a 3‑day on‑site sprint; both fully compensated.
• Wrap‑up conversation (½day) – Meet the wider team, talk compensation, and—if everything aligns—move toward a potential offer.

Let’s build a more abundant, trustworthy future—together and with AI at our side.
