As a Senior Front End Engineer, you will be a core member of the AI Experiences and Integrations squad. You'll take ownership of building and maintaining the front-end architecture powering our AI-native product surfaces in TypeScript, ensuring smooth interoperability with Dart. You will be hands-on in developing responsive, streaming chat experiences, agentic workflow interactions, tool calling interfaces, reasoning visualizations, and human-in-the-loop validation layers.

This is a high-visibility role where you will partner deeply with ML Engineers, Product, and Design to help translate complex, non-deterministic machine learning capabilities into client-side experiences that feel fast, intuitive, and trustworthy.

What You'll Do

Technical Execution & Architecture

  • Own and implement the front-end architecture for AI-native product surfaces, including real-time streaming interfaces, agentic workflows, and model-assisted UIs

  • Apply scalable patterns for integrating LLM APIs, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events (SSE) into high-performance production front-end systems

  • Contribute high-quality, production-ready code to complex feature blocks and help establish robust technical patterns for the immediate team

  • Balance client-side performance, application latency, and user experience considerations during feature design

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and ML Platform teams to scope, design, and deliver advanced AI-driven user experiences

  • Collaborate with internal frontend engineering guilds to align with broader corporate engineering standards and share localized AI implementation strategies

  • Communicate technical trade-offs, scope constraints, and UI architecture choices clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Team Guidance & Quality

  • Support the technical growth of the squad by participating in code reviews and promoting frontend best practices

  • Author technical design documents and implementation plans for new AI features

Operational Excellence

  • Monitor and optimize system performance and user experience metrics across our front-end surface area

  • Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve complex client-side performance bottlenecks in our distributed frontend and service ecosystem

What You'll Need

Minimum Qualifications

  • 2+ years of professional front-end engineering experience in a production environment

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React)

  • Practical experience working with asynchronous data streams and state management

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct experience building user interfaces for AI/GenAI applications (e.g., streaming chat UI, prompt execution layouts, or model output configurations)

  • Solid understanding of browser-side performance profiles related to long-lived connections, server-sent events (SSE), or high-frequency DOM rendering for real-time text streaming

  • Experience building or maintaining interoperability layers between Dart and TypeScript microfrontends

  • Familiarity with client-side AI performance tracking metrics, such as Time to First Token (TTFT) and user-correction rates

  • Experience working in distributed, cloud-based architectures and continuous delivery (CI/CD) agile environments

Working Conditions

  • Up to 10% travel for team events and internal company meetings.

  • Reliable internet access required for remote work
