- Lead development of our web platform for developers that are designing, debugging, and deploying AI agents (view our Agent Development Environment here).

- You should have a fascination with LLM technology, as this role will require interacting closely with LLMs and understanding how to provide the human interfaces that allow developers to push LLMs to their limits.
Your skillset
You're an ideal candidate for this position if :
React is your bread and butter - you've been writing React professionally for 3 years
You'll be working closely with our design team to build the UI / UX
You'll also be working closely with the LLM research team to develop new design patterns and UIs for interacting with AI agents that run on a REST server
OpenAI playground, but for Ollama? You could mock that up in a day or two
Even if you don't have a formal background in LLMs, you love keeping up to date with the latest in LLM technology (your laptop is loaded with llama.cpp and 1TB of model weights)
And by "things" we mean web apps
