Your technical decisions will directly impact how users interact with our platform and depend on our technology to drive their business forward.

What You'll Do

• Design and deploy front-end systems for AI-driven product surfaces, with emphasis on real-time streaming interactions, autonomous workflow management, and machine learning-assisted interfaces
• Build scalable technical approaches for integrating language model APIs, WebSocket communication, and Server-Sent Events into high-performance production systems
• Deliver production-grade TypeScript code that sets quality benchmarks and establishes architectural patterns for the engineering team
• Optimize for speed and responsiveness while managing the competing demands of performance, latency, and user satisfaction
• Contribute to architecture documentation and implementation roadmaps for new AI-powered capabilities
• Identify and resolve complex performance issues in client-side and distributed frontend environments
• Guide team growth through code review, technical mentorship, and advancement of front-end engineering practices

Who We're Looking For

• Minimum 2 years of professional front-end development experience in production environments
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience
• Expert-level command of TypeScript and modern web frameworks such as React
• Working knowledge of event streams, asynchronous programming patterns, and state management
• Preferred: hands-on experience building interfaces for AI or generative AI applications
• Preferred: understanding of browser performance characteristics including long-lived connections, server-sent event streaming, and high-frequency DOM updates for real-time text rendering
• Preferred: experience bridging Dart and TypeScript front-end components
• Preferred: familiarity with AI-specific performance measurement, such as time-to-first-token metrics
• Preferred: experience with distributed cloud architectures and continuous delivery practices
