What are the responsibilities and job description for the UIUX FullStack Engineer position at Basis?
About Basis
Basis () is a nonprofit applied AI research organization with two mutually reinforcing goals.
The first is to understand and build intelligence. This means to establish the mathematical principles of what it means to reason, to learn, to make decisions, to understand, and to explain; and to construct software that implements these principles.
The second is to advance society’s ability to solve intractable problems . This means expanding the scale, complexity, and breadth of problems that we can solve today, and even more importantly, accelerating our ability to solve problems in the future.
To achieve these goals, we’re building both a new technological foundation that draws inspiration from how humans reason, and a new kind of collaborative organization that puts human values first.
About the Role
We're seeking a Full-Stack Engineer with exceptional UI / UX skills to craft intuitive interfaces for our advanced AI systems. You're the rare talent who combines an obsession for pixel-perfect, user-centric design with the technical prowess to build robust systems end-to-end. Your work will power tools that transform urban planning and other critical domains, driving data-informed and equitable decision-making.
The Project
Your initial focus : a computational zoning model using causal probabilistic programming. This tool will predict policy impacts on key urban metrics, empowering diverse stakeholders to make informed decisions. Future projects will extend our impact to other critical areas of public policy.
You'll Be :
- Creating Figma designs and prototypes with Basis research scientists and collaborators
- Designing and implementing full-stack solutions with responsive UIs
- Creating interactive visualizations for complex data
