Responsibilities

Build Elicit into a product researchers can’t live without

You’ll work with a modern front-end stack (React, TypeScript, Chakra, Tailwind) to fully own shipping useful, exciting features out to users on a weekly basis

You will work on a mix of known features / fixes, prototypes to validate ideas, and exploratory projects in between

Our team is small, so we expect you to appreciate the user needs underlying everything you work on

You should be comfortable making decisions and trade-offs that help us fulfill users’ needs best

Keep Elicit’s bar for quality high

You’ll balance shipping features in the short term with building extensible and maintainable systems

You will be responsible for your features in production: they need to be scalable, resilient, and easy to operate

You’ll be the biggest advocate for keeping Elicit’s bar high for smooth user workflows and making sure Elicit looks great and is a delight to use

We want somebody on our team who’ll remain obsessed with a high quality user experience, and can hold us accountable to balancing that with shipping rapidly and pursuing new features

You’ll contribute to discussions around UX, system design, and architecture
