Frontend Engineer, AI startup

Location:

Fully onsite in NYC (Flatiron) - relocation assistance offered

About the company:

AI might be the hot new darling, but our AI startup client has been successfully mastering the space for 4+ years, and they’ve already deployed mission critical tools to some of the world's most successful companies -- products that other companies are just starting to think of. 

They’re a growing, $32M-funded AI startup (Series A). Led by a kind, empathic co-founder / thought leader with a successful exit under his belt, they’re a close-knit, hard working, friendly and passionate group of scientists and builders exploring the boundaries of how artificial intelligence can benefit humanity. 

They’ve been growing quickly but sustainably, and are actively expanding their engineering team. They’re attracting top talent from well-known companies like Google, Amazon, Palantir, Snap, Flatiron Health, and Microsoft - as well as top tier startups. 

Their products have helped some of the largest CPG, manufacturing, and electronics companies on the planet transform their sales and supply chains into self-learning systems — unlocking efficiencies and resulting in better, more affordable consumer experiences. This helps their clients tackle much more, from delivering critical goods and services more affordably, sustainably, and equitably to the world.

About this role:

They're seeking a fulltime Frontend Engineer to work with a team of engineers and scientists with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise.

Their Engineers work directly with customers to solve complex, mission-critical challenges using their cutting-edge products and tech. You'll be empowered to own the full solution lifecycle—from problem identification, designing and implementing data-driven solutions, to demonstrating their value in real-world scenarios. By addressing specific customer challenges, you'll play a pivotal role in refining and scaling products, and contributing to their broader adoption and success. You’ll also work cross-functionally with ML Scientists, Product Designers, and external stakeholders.

This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience ML/AI while driving innovation across some of the world's most vital industries - helping them operate better by automating frequent, critical path decisions—from pricing and inventory management to manufacturing quality assurance - and that's just scratching the surface of what’s possible.

ML/AI experience not required, but an demonstrated enthusiasm and knowledge of ML/AI concepts is important (if you have worked at a company where ML/AI was the core product, or where it had a major impact on revenue, even better!) 

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborate with internal cross-functional teams and external customers to prototype and build novel user interfaces across the product suite
• Work closely with real users in many different countries to imagine and define what human-computer interaction looks and feels like in an age of active learning AI
• Enable users to understand the impact & performance of deployed ML systems in new and novel ways that are not only effective, but inspiring!
• Use React, Node, TypeScript, Figma, Tailwind, Framer Motion, and more - you'll employ a variety of languages, libraries, and frameworks, and tools to push the status quo
• Build prototypes including UX/UI that communicates your product ideas at the right level of fidelity, while expanding what UX/UI for AI can be
• Translate user requirements into well-designed solutions crucial to shaping the future of AI-powered applications
• Apply your principles of engineering, design, and product across the full stack of their systems

About you:

• Ideally 4+ years of professional experience post-graduation in software engineering or a related field
• Strong plus if you have a Computer Science degree
• Demonstrated enthusiasm and knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concepts
• Proficient in React, Node, Typescript - and a proven ability to write clean, efficient code
• You know your way around at the basics of Figma (or similar UI design program)
• A plus (but not required) if you have experience in Tailwind and/or Framer Pro
• As you'll deploy both domestically and internationally - you're available and enthusiastic to travel and interact with clients
• Embody deep user empathy to partner with designers, engineers, scientists, and customers, ensuring that their AI techniques and technologies translate into scalable tools, services, and customer experiences
• Strong communication skills with empathy for end-users, ensuring usability across UI, API, and SDKs
• Instinct to break down complex problems into small building blocks, with a high bar for product aesthetics and functionality 

Salary: $150-225K depending on experience + equity + benefits
