Founding Frontend Engineer

About the Role :

We are looking for a talented and motivated Frontend Engineer to shape the user experience of a cutting-edge no-code platform for building custom LLM applications. This role provides an exciting opportunity to take full ownership of the frontend, creating sleek, intuitive interfaces and ensuring seamless backend integration. You'll thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, designing powerful, scalable, and secure solutions that redefine how users interact with LLM-powered tools like RAG, SQL-to-text, and structured outputs.

Roles and Responsibilities :

  • Design and deliver pixel-perfect, reactive UIs that users love.
  • Take full ownership of the frontend, iterating rapidly and independently.
  • Leverage frameworks and libraries powering GenAI platforms such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.
  • Optimize API data structures using JSON schemas, pagination, filtering, sorting, and indexing for large datasets.
  • Build and maintain RESTful and WebSocket APIs using robust version control and resource-based architecture.
  • Develop and maintain web applications using modern frameworks like Vue.js / Nuxt.js or React.js / Next.js.
  • Implement security best practices, including input validation, OAuth / JWT authentication, and OWASP standards.
  • Collaborate with backend teams to design and implement scalable APIs adhering to RODL principles.

Job Requirements :

  • Proven ability to independently ship significant products or features with measurable impact.
  • Expertise in Python-based API frameworks like FastAPI.
  • 5–10 years of experience in frontend engineering (3 years for exceptional candidates).
  • Prior experience at fast-paced Series B startups (e.g., Stripe, Scale AI, Databricks, DataRobot).
  • Demonstrated ability to build complex user interfaces at scale with pixel-perfect implementation from Figma designs.
  • Expert-level skills in Vue.js (preferred) or React, with proficiency in TypeScript and design systems.
  • Proficiency in SQL (MySQL) and NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB, DataStore, Redis) databases.
  • Experience with CI / CD pipelines, preferably on AWS / GCP with Docker.
  • Strong Git workflows, including version control using GitHub.
  • Grinder" mentality – willingness to work long hours and thrive in a startup environment with rapid changes and uncertainty.
  • U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  • Nice to Have :

  • Deep understanding of API design, particularly in OpenAI / Stripe-style integrations.
  • Experience with both RESTful and WebSocket (Socket.io) APIs.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating past products or projects.
  • If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution. Compensation Planning
    Enhance your organization's compensation strategy with salary data sets that HR and team managers can use to pay your staff right. Surveys & Data Sets
