Title: Sr. Frontend Engineer

Company Description

Our client is on a mission to increase government transparency to connect and empower. They’re building an AI platform that helps businesses and individuals make sense of messy government data. Executive orders, news shifts, regulations - they’re making sense of it all.

Corporations, law firms, non-profits, and individuals alike are still using spreadsheets and archaic government websites to understand how bills impact their industry. They deserve a 21st century tool that streamlines how we make sense of pending legislation, and enables a more transparent and accessible advocacy process.

Quick facts:

• Raised $9M total
• Supported by Bonfire Ventures (#1 VC in LA) and Communitas VC (plus former Thomson Reuters, Granicus, Snapchat leadership)
• Already working with big names like Crowdstrike, Gunderson Law
• Passionate and mission driven team building cool stuff to benefit everyone!

Responsibilities

Our client is seeking a Frontend Engineer to architect, build, and refine how users experience the Abstract platform. You will own the front end to end, building new features, integrating with Python-based chat and data APIs, shaping the design system, and helping define what great AI-assisted UX feels like in practice. 

Is this you?

• Experience: 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including several years before the rise of AI-assisted tooling. You’ve seen a few production systems live long enough to gather scars.
• Frontend Expertise: Deep experience building modern web applications with React, Next.js, and Tailwind. You care about clean architecture, performant rendering, and reusable components.
• APIs & Data: Skilled at integrating complex APIs and handling real-world data flows. Bonus if you’ve touched Prisma or written efficient queries yourself.
• AI Fluency: Comfortable building around AI systems — streaming model responses, structured JSON outputs, or integrating model-driven UI features. You use AI coding tools daily but still know how to reason from first principles.
• Collaboration: Proactive communicator who values clear decisions, async documentation, and cross-functional context.
• Low Ego, High Ownership: You bring ideas to the table, argue them well, and move toward the right answer for the user, not for your pride.
• Tooling: Strong understanding of Git and modern dev tooling and workflows.
• Learning Mindset: Curious about the intersection of AI, policy, and enterprise software. You like turning complex systems into simple, usable experiences.



Preferred Qualifications

• You’ve shipped or scaled a SaaS product with real users and revenue.
• Experience building or integrating AI-driven products (chat interfaces, embeddings, model APIs).
• Background in legal tech, govtech, or other data-heavy enterprise products.
• Previous experience as an early engineer at a startup.
• You care deeply about code quality and the customer’s experience, not just one or the other.
