We're assisting a profitable startup with their search for a founding frontend engineer. Their product is an AI platform that automates software testing. The role will work onsite in their SF office.
What you'll do:

  • Own the entire product frontend, including the NextJS cloud app and the upcoming local app
  • Craft novel UI paradigms that give users the simplicity, visibility, and guidability they need when interacting with AI agents
  • Make important decisions about the technologies, frameworks, and design patterns
  • Interact with customers regularly so we can continuously improve the UX
  • Create, design, and advocate for projects you believe are high priority during roadmap planning
  • Occasionally make changes to the backend if needed for delivery of full-stack features (less than 20% of your time will be spent here)
  • Document everything as you go and share your expertise with the team!
What you'll bring:
  • 3+ years of experience frontend engineering
  • Experience at other small companies, ideally working on 0-to-1 UI projects (e.g. typescript migration, UI component library).
  • Dev tools or browser experience is a plus (e.g., CircleCI, Datadog, DuckDuckGo)
  • Have some experience with the tech stack: React, Next.js, Tailwind, Radix UI, Playwright, TipTap, Electron.
  • Deep expertise in React ecosystem, particularly NextJS
  • Experience with complex UI implementations (rich text editors, workflow builders, diagramming tools)
  • Have a demonstrated ability to own large frontend projects
  • An interest in developer tooling and AI. They are driven by the idea of accelerating other engineers with this amazing new technology, and hope you are too!
