Job Description

San Francisco, CA · On-site (5 days/week) · Full-timeCompensation: $250,000–$315,000 base + competitive equity

About the Company

Our client builds AI for AI transformation, tackling the problem that 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail. It deploys AI companion agents that passively observe how teams work (with full human consent), build a context graph of how the entire company operates, and use that graph to drive measurable improvement — for example, mapping 900+ processes for one enterprise in 9 days, and capturing 3,800+ finance operations for another in 14 weeks. It's trusted by marquee enterprise customers, did 8-figure revenue, and 7x'd in the last fiscal year.

Founded 2017 · Industry: AI Tools (post-Series B)

The Role

A Staff AI Frontend Engineer sitting at the intersection of product design and frontend engineering — an engineer first, with design sensibility that elevates everything built. You'll define and implement the look and feel of AI-native enterprise workflows, making complex tools feel as intuitive as the best consumer apps.

Tech stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind; WebRTC; Python backend (occasional cross-stack).

Requirements

  • 6+ years of frontend, at a Senior-to-Staff level
  • Mastery of React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind
  • Ships multiple features per day with AI tooling
  • High agency — an ex-founder or comparable
  • Engineer first, designer by instinct
  • On-site in SF, 5 days a week
  • A clear ownership signal, not pure big-company tenure

Nice to Haves

  • Prior founder, founding engineer, or major scope ownership at a real startup
  • Can articulate what changed in their stack in the last three months — names current agentic dev tools unprompted
  • Has shipped real-time complex frontend systems, WebRTC streaming, generative UI, or comparable
  • Engineer first, with real design taste

Why Join

  • One of the hardest frontend surfaces in enterprise AI: real-time WebRTC companion agents, generative dashboards over enterprise context graphs, and agentic chat that operates the web app itself
  • A tiny, elite team with marquee logos: 8-figure revenue, 7x'd in the last fiscal year and still accelerating
  • Ship at AI speeds and define the frontend SDLC: work directly with the founding team on how the company scales code review and SDLC with agents
  • Strong comp and full benefits: $250K–$315K base, competitive equity, 100% employer-paid medical/dental/vision, relocation support
