About The Role
As the Frontend Tech Lead at Augment Code, you'll help lead the design and implementation of user-facing experiences across our suite of developer tools—beginning with IDE integrations. You’ll drive critical architectural and technical decisions, guide a small team of engineers, and work in close partnership with design, AI research, and backend systems teams to shape the future of Augment’s AI-powered developer experience.
What You'll Do

• Help lead the frontend architecture and implementation of Augment's IDE extensions and developer tools, from design through deployment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with designers, AI researchers, and backend engineers to build deeply integrated and performant user interfaces.
• Drive UI/UX decisions based on developer workflows and feedback, ensuring our tools feel cohesive and intuitive.
• Collaborate with a team of AI Researchers and Systems Engineers to craft the technical direction of the Augment system
• Mentor engineers on frontend and integration work, and help scale the team’s technical capabilities.
• Help shape product direction, contributing to prioritization and planning of new features and user workflows.
  

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in frontend software development, with at least 1–2 years in a technical leadership or staff+ role
• Expertise in modern frontend frameworks and languages (e.g., TypeScript, React, Svelte, Kotlin, Java, or similar)
• Experience building and shipping IDE plugins, devtools, or complex user-facing systems
• Strong product sense and ability to translate user needs into elegant, performant interfaces
• Track record of cross-functional collaboration across design, product, and backend
• Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments—and helping others do the same
  

Employee Benefits

• Flexible work hours
• Competitive salary & Equity
• Tools Stipend
• Health, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
• Short Term and Long Term Disability
• Unlimited Paid Time Off + Holidays. We focus on trust and ownership, not time in the chair
