THE ROLE

We are seeking a frontend engineer who can craft intuitive, high‑performance web applications that unlock generative‑AI capabilities for our customers and internal teams.

You will build reactive, data‑driven UIs—chat experiences, content editors, dashboards—that integrate with our GenAI backend services (Node.js on AWS) to deliver secure, accessible, and delightful user experiences.

Who You Are

• Design and implement responsive web applications using React (Next.js) and TypeScript that surface chat, summarization, and creative‑assist features powered by LLMs.
• Integrate securely with backend GenAI APIs (REST/GraphQL, WebSocket) and handle real‑time streaming of model responses.
• Build reusable UI components (TailwindCSS/shadcn/ui) and design systems for prompt inputs, context panes, and feedback collectors.
• Implement client‑side observability (OpenTelemetry, Sentry) to monitor latency, errors, and usability of GenAI features.
• Optimize performance through code‑splitting, server‑side rendering (SSR), and efficient state management (React Query, Zustand, or Redux Toolkit).
• Collaborate with product designers and ML/backend engineers to iterate on prompt engineering, UI/UX flows, and evaluation loops.
• Champion accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), localization, and responsive design to reach global audiences.
