This is a hybrid role based in Austin, TX but we are also open a remote contractor as well.
Our health-tech client is seeking a highly skilled AI Front End Engineer to lead the implementation of an AI-First Development process, leveraging cutting-edge AI tools to dramatically increase productivity. You will be responsible for integrating AI tooling throughout the software development lifecycle, with a primary focus on React and Next.js applications. This is a front-and-center role for someone passionate about (and with experience) transforming front-end engineering with AI, driving both innovation and efficiency.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the adoption and integration of AI tools across all phases of front-end development, from ideation and requirements gathering to deployment and maintenance. Architect, develop, and optimize user interfaces using React and Next.js as core frameworks Prototype and implement AI-assisted workflows (e.g., for code generation, UI scaffolding, automated testing, debugging, and documentation) Mentor and upskill engineering teams in AI-first methodologies, including prompt engineering and best practices for collaborating with AI systems Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend teams to ensure seamless integration of AI-driven features and workflows Continuously evaluate and integrate emerging AI tools to maintain a state-of-the-art development environment Oversee code reviews, refactoring, and optimization of both human- and AI-generated code to ensure maintainability, scalability, and performance Required Skills & Experience:
Expertise in React and Next.js, with a strong portfolio of shipped web applications Deep understanding of AI tooling for front-end development, such as (These are just examples):
GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, Tabnine (AI code assistants) Vercel v0, Locofy, or similar "Figma-to-code" tools AI-driven UI generators and prototyping tools (e.g., Galileo, Penpot AI) AI-based testing and QA automation (e.g., QA Wolf, Testim) LLMs for documentation and requirements (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) Experience leading or mentoring engineering teams in adopting new technologies and workflows Strong communication and collaboration skills; ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions and explain AI-driven processes to non-technical stakeholders Proficiency in modern front-end tooling (e.g., Redux, Webpack, Babel, ESLint) and version control (Git) Familiarity with backend integration (RESTful APIs, GraphQL) and cloud platforms (AWS, Vercel) Preferred Qualifications:
Demonstrated success in AI-first or AI-native software environments. Experience with prompt engineering and customizing LLMs for developer workflows Track record of delivering significant productivity gains through automation or AI Understanding of data privacy, security, and compliance in AI-driven applications What We Offer:
Opportunity to define and implement the future of AI-powered front-end engineering. Creative freedom to experiment with and adopt the latest AI technologies. Competitive salary, benefits, and flexible work arrangements. A collaborative, forward-thinking team environment.
If you are passionate about redefining front-end development with AI and have a proven ability to lead teams through technological transformation, we want to hear from you.
