About The Company

A rapidly growing, venture-backed technology company is building a new generation of consumer products powered by generative AI. The platform enables users to create and discover interactive experiences without traditional programming.

The company has achieved significant consumer adoption in a short period and is scaling rapidly ahead of a major U.S. market expansion. The engineering team is small, highly technical, and composed of experienced engineers from leading technology companies and research organizations.

This is an opportunity to join at a pivotal stage, with significant ownership over the frontend architecture and product experience.

You will operate at an L6/Staff-caliber level, owning complex user-facing features while helping shape frontend architecture, performance, and scalability. You will work closely with senior engineering leadership and have significant autonomy in taking projects from concept through production.

What You'll Do

• Build and own core consumer-facing experiences using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and React Native
• Take features from initial concept and technical design through production launch
• Solve complex frontend performance, scalability, and reliability challenges
• Build data-rich and potentially real-time user interfaces at significant scale
• Work across the frontend stack, including caching, server-rendered pages, authentication, APIs, and backend integrations
