Moondream AI
Overview
Moondream , a funded Seattle AI startup. We ship a
tiny, fast VLM
that runs anywhere (edge, cloud). We are looking for someone to
own the front end
of the product that lets customers customize/tune the model without being ML experts. Think: data review flows that feel slick (Figma/Vercel vibes), eval dashboards, a stupid-fast playground, and a clean billing/credits UX.
Small team, high autonomy, real users today
(retail, manufacturing, security, etc.). Stack : Next.js, TypeScript, React, Shad/Tailwind, tRPC/Drizzle, SST/AWS. Location:
We’re in Capitol Hill, Seattle; hybrid is fine.
Responsibilities
Own the front end end-to-end
— architecture, component library (shadcn/ui + Tailwind), performance, accessibility, and shipping to prod.
Build the core surfaces : data review / labeling flows, eval dashboards, RL fine-thinking UX, a stupid-fast playground, and clean billing/credits screens.
Define and enforce FE standards : code quality, type safety, testing, design tokens, a11y, performance budgets.
Work tightly with backend
on contracts (tRPC), schemas (Drizzle), and deployment (SST/AWS, edge/SSR).
Instrument everything
— analytics, tracing, feature flags, and experiment frameworks to learn fast.
Prototype quickly
with real users; partner with UX to run lightweight tests and ship improvements continuously.
Mentor & grow a small team
(code reviews, pairing, hiring loop) while staying very hands-on.
Own CI/CD for the web app
(lint/test/build pipelines, preview deploys, error monitoring).
Champion security & authorization in the UI
(RBAC/scope-based perms, safe client patterns).
Qualifications
5+ years
building production web apps with
React, TypeScript, and Next.js
(or equivalent).
Strong product/UX intuition
— you can take a Figma file (or create one) and ship something polished.
Deep familiarity with
performance tuning
(RSC, code-splitting, React Query/Suspense, Web Workers, etc.).
Experience with
typed backends and contracts
(tRPC/GraphQL),
ORMs
(Drizzle/Prisma), and
Postgres .
Comfortable in
SST/AWS , serverless/edge runtimes, and modern CI/CD.
Testing discipline : unit (Vitest/Jest), e2e (Playwright/Cypress), visual/regression as needed.
Accessibility, security, and reliability
aren’t afterthoughts for you.
Bonus: you’ve built
data-heavy tools
(dashboards, labeling/review UIs),
ML/AI tooling , or contributed to OSS.
Seattle-based or willing to work
hybrid
from Capitol Hill.
