Job Summary:
AI Fund is an AI-native company transforming unstructured and dark data into trusted, structured, auditable data. They are seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer to architect, develop, and maintain modern web applications while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that address customer needs.
Responsibilities:
• Be a driving force for the team's agentic coding practice - establishing patterns for spec-driven development, context engineering, and multi-agent orchestration that compound team output.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and backend/ML engineers to deliver solutions that solve real customer problems.
• Architect, develop, and maintain modern, responsive web applications using React.js, Next.js, and TypeScript.
• Implement pixel-perfect, accessible UI components leveraging Tailwind CSS, ShadCN, or other modern styling frameworks.
• Ensure frontend performance, scalability, and reliability, optimizing for low latency and a seamless user experience.
• Take ownership of the full software development lifecycle: design, development, testing, deployment, and monitoring of frontend systems.
• Mentor and guide engineers, setting best practices for UI development, code quality, and technical direction.
• Contribute to developer experience, working with backend teams to design intuitive APIs and ensure smooth integration across the stack.
• Stay ahead of trends in frontend engineering and bring fresh ideas to elevate user experience and productivity.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Fluency with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex or equivalent). Experience writing effective specs, managing repo context, and reviewing/verifying agent output.
• 5+ years of professional experience in frontend development with a strong focus on React.js and Next.js.
• Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and ES6+ features.
• Strong product sense and customer empathy. Comfortable making judgment calls on scope, UX tradeoffs, and what's worth building without waiting for a spec.
• Deep experience with modern UI frameworks (Tailwind CSS, ShadCN, or similar).
• Solid understanding of web application architecture and frontend–backend interactions.
• Proven track record of leading frontend projects, from early prototypes to production systems.
• Strong collaboration skills across engineering, product, and design teams.
• Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to team-wide technical direction.
Preferred:
• Experience with databases (e.g., Postgres) and ORMs (Prisma.js, Sequelize.js).
• Exposure to computer vision, LLMs, or multimodal AI applications.
• Experience building developer-facing products (e.g., SDKs, dashboards, APIs).
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Experience simplifying user experiences for complex, enterprise-facing software.
