About the Job

We are seeking a highly experienced and frontend-oriented Senior Full-Stack Engineer to lead the development of exceptional user experiences for our next-generation intelligent applications. This is a pivotal role where you will architect and build cutting-edge frontends using Next.js and React, backed by robust GraphQL and RESTful APIs, to power our innovative architecture.
You will be a champion for user-centric design, driving the development of intuitive and performant interfaces across multiple client platforms (web, browser extensions, potential desktop/mobile). You will leverage modern design patterns and architectures (e.g. ViewModel patterns, Backend For Frontend (BFF)) to create efficient and scalable frontend systems.  While full-stack capabilities are essential, your passion and expertise should lean strongly towards the frontend, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience, built with security best practices in mind and adherence to relevant compliance standards.
If you are a front-end-first full-stack engineer passionate about crafting beautiful and functional user interfaces, thrive in a collaborative environment, and are excited by the challenge of building multi-platform experiences for AI-driven applications, we want to hear from you!
Why Join Us?
This is an exceptional opportunity to be a lead frontend-focused full-stack engineer at a company building innovative AI-powered solutions. You will have the chance to define our frontend architecture, build cutting-edge user experiences using Next.js and React, and shape the way users interact with our AI agentic technology.  You will be at the forefront of building multi-platform applications and have a significant impact on our user satisfaction and product success. If you are a passionate frontend engineer ready to take on exciting challenges and build the future of intelligent user interfaces, apply now!
