Description

  • Own features end-to-end across the full stack, from data-source integration to workflow debugging and monitoring.
  • Build user-facing experiences for connecting systems, testing services with AI agents, observing dynamic dashboards, and diagnosing failing workflows in real time.
  • Set the technical vision for UI architecture, including state management, component patterns, build tooling, and the design system.
  • Partner closely with product and design to define what gets built and how it is implemented.
  • Make technical decisions that help the team rapidly test new ideas and scale successful ones.
  • Provide technical leadership through code review, architectural guidance, and hands-on engineering work.
  • Raise engineering standards and model infrastructure-grade craftsmanship.

  • Strong technical problem-solving ability with a talent for identifying root causes behind surface-level issues.
  • Experience building rich, interactive UIs such as canvas editors, streaming interfaces, real-time collaboration tools, or similarly complex front-end experiences.
  • Comfort with adjacent full-stack areas including APIs, WebSockets, build tooling, CI/CD, and testing strategies.
  • Excellent communication skills for remote-first work using GitHub, Slack, and Figma.
  • Fluency in English.
  • Preferred: experience evolving a design system in code, including tokens, component libraries, and reusable patterns.
  • Preferred: experience building AI-powered UIs such as streaming chat, inline code generation, or agentic tool interfaces.
  • Preferred: experience with both component-driven and MVC approaches such as Phoenix LiveView.
  • Preferred: experience with developer tools, code editors, or CLI-adjacent web experiences.
  • Preferred: background in open-source, international development, or the civil service.
  • Preferred: second language proficiency.

Benefits
