Jobbeschreibung

The charter of Perplexity’s Core Experience team is to create a cohesive, intuitive, and delightful user experience by integrating cutting‑edge AI capabilities and research into a unified system. The Core Experience team works closely with product design teams to ship a world‑class web app that’s used by millions of people every day. We imagine and build the interfaces through which people experience the promise of AI.

We are seeking a talented engineer with an uncompromising dedication to the craft of frontend web development. You’ll help us to define the future of human‑agent collaboration: establishing intuitive mental‑models, patterns, and state‑representation. You’ll work closely with design to prototype, architect, and engineer novel interfaces for interacting with AI collaborators.

What you’ll do

• Build and ship polished, high‑craft, intuitive web interfaces
• Constantly improve high‑visibility surfaces like agent chat threads, artifact editing, and message composition
• Partner directly with design to turn visionary ideas into production implementations
• Solve complex problems across architecture, state‑management, animation, and performance‑optimization
• Collaborate with capabilities and research teams to synthesize the latest research into coherent production experiences
• Support other product teams by designing reusable libraries and SDKs to maintain a high quality‑bar across all surfaces of the product

What we’re looking for

• Strong proficiency in modern web technologies: React, TypeScript, CSS, etc.
• Exceptional taste: relentless attention to detail, from aesthetics to performance to code‑quality
• Comfortable owning projects end‑to‑end, working at high velocity in an ambiguous environment where the industry changes by the day
• Keen product sensibilities: being able to reason about what will work, what won’t, and articulate why
• Customer obsession: always thinking about how what you’re building will touch the person on the other side of the screen
