Role Overview

We’re looking for a Frontend / Fullstack Engineer who can deeply understand and reconstruct complex product experiences — from UI structure and navigation patterns to workflow logic and behavioral nuances. In this role, you’ll replicate production-grade SaaS platforms using synthetic data and functional user flows. These replicas help our agent systems train, evaluate, and improve on real-world software interactions.

You’ll collaborate within a small, high-performing team (3 engineers) to rapidly build interfaces that feel indistinguishable from live products. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role with fast iteration cycles and direct influence on what our agents can learn to do.

What You’ll Do

• Recreate complex SaaS workflows (e.g., expenses, reimbursements, employee/card management in financial platforms like Ramp) with high fidelity to real product behavior.
• Build functional replicas of web platforms using dummy or synthetic data to capture authentic logic and flow.
• Design and structure TSX/React component hierarchies with clean state and data management.
• Make smart trade-offs around scope, UI parity, and workflow accuracy to deliver quickly and effectively.
• Review contributions from other engineers to ensure clarity, consistency, and engineering excellence.

Example Project

You might be tasked with replicating a financial SaaS platform like Ramp, focusing on:

• Expense and reimbursement workflows
• Virtual card issuance and management
• Organization and billing views
• Lightweight accounting and reporting pages
• Navigation and UX patterns mirroring the reference product

Reference: https://try.ramp.com/home — no backend or login required; goal is functional demonstration only.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience working with React and TypeScript in production environments.
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture, state management, and component composition.
• Excellent product sense — you care about correctness, polish, and UX fidelity.
• Ability to reverse-engineer and accurately reproduce product workflows from observation.
• Self-directed and accountable — able to own a project from start to finish with minimal oversight.
• Exceptional written and technical communication, especially around reasoning, debugging, and tradeoffs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with: TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, Lightweight mock backend tooling.
