Job description

About the Role

Tldr on us: Series B, $91M raised, 7x growth last year.

Digital Transformation gave rise to a $600B consulting Industry. AI Transformation will be 10x bigger and will be

delivered through agents. We built that. Our AI discovers how work actually happens across every team and application, structures it into a living Context Graph, and improves it continuously. ServiceNow mapped 900+ processes in 9 days. DoorDash captured 3,800+ finance operations in 14 weeks. That's not a project. That's compounding intelligence. OpenAI, Google, DoorDash, and Stripe use our platform to transform how they transform. We shipped GPT-4 document chat within 12 hours of OpenAI's API launch. We move fast, reward agency, and care deeply about our customers, our team, and our mission.

We’re hiring a Staff AI Frontend Engineer who sits at the intersection of product design and

frontend engineering. You are an engineer first, but with exceptional design sensibility that elevates everything

you build. You will define and implement the look and feel of AI-native workflows, ensuring complex enterprise

tools feel as intuitive as the best consumer apps. The product includes a real-time,e WebRTC-powered

companion agent that follows users across their screen, generative dashboards that visualize complex enterprise

context graphs, agentic chat that operates the web application directly, and a fundamentally new UI paradigm

built around generative AI. You will ship at AI speeds, work directly with a tight founding team, and help define

the future of frontend SDLC.

What You'll Own

Architect scalable frontend systems: design reusable component libraries, establish patterns for state

management and API integration, optimize bundle sizes, ensure the platform performs beautifully at scale

Own and ship the primary user-facing features users interact with daily, end-to-end from React components

through API integration to production polish

Bridge AI capabilities with elegant user experiences: partner with product and backend engineers to expose

powerful functionality while hiding technical complexity

Build complex frontend systems, including real-time WebRTC streaming for the companion agent, generative

dashboards, and agentic chat that operates the product itself

Use AI tools to rapidly prototype design concepts in code, bridging gaps between teams with working demos

instead of static mocks

Help define how the team scales code review and SDLC with agents that encode your architectural thinking

Requirements
Must-Have

6+ years shipping production-grade products. Senior to Staff level.

Mastery of modern web technologies: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind. You understand the performance

consequences of architectural decisions and ship code that's elegant and performant.

AI-native developer. You wield Cursor, Claude Code, v0.dev, Lovable, and comparable tools as extensions of

your craft. You ship multiple features per day with AI assistance.

Engineer first, designer by instinct. You discuss Server vs Client Components as fluently as you critique

spacing and visual hierarchy.

High agency. You've pushed yourself outside structured environments as a founder, founding engineer, or with

significant scope ownership at a real startup.

On the bleeding edge of AI tooling. You can articulate what changed in your stack in the last three months.

Comfortable talking to customers and sales. You shape product through action, not waiting for permission.

Based in SF or willing to relocate immediately. In-person 5 days a week downtown SF.

Nice-to-Have

Prior founder or founding engineer experience

Real-time WebRTC streaming or video pipeline experience

Voice AI product experience

Generative UI or generative dashboard work

Python backend comfort for occasional cross-stack work

No CS or Engineering degree required; portfolio, GitHub, and shipping track record matter more

* Visa: H-1B transfers accepted; STEM OPT accepted if 2+ years remaining; O-1 not accepted as a

candidate's only path
