Responsibilities
Build AI-focused user interfaces. You'll design and implement interfaces for AI coaching interactions—chat experiences, coaching session flows, AI-generated recommendations, and personalized dashboards. You'll think deeply about how to present AI outputs in ways that feel trustworthy and actionable
Own the frontend architecture and component library. You'll work with React, Redux Toolkit, and Material-UI to build maintainable, reusable components. You'll establish patterns for state management, API integration, and component design that the team can build on
Create responsive, accessible experiences. You'll ensure our platform works seamlessly across devices and is accessible to all users. You'll pay attention to performance, loading states, error handling, and the small details that make interfaces feel polished
Collaborate on product design and user research. You'll work with our design team to prototype new features, participate in user testing, and iterate based on feedback. You'll have strong opinions about what makes good UX and the ability to advocate for users
Integrate with backend APIs and real-time systems. While this is a frontend-focused role, you'll work with REST APIs, WebSockets for real-time coaching sessions, and streaming responses from LLMs. Some backend familiarity helps, but we're looking for frontend depth
Ship features end-to-end. You'll take features from concept to production, handling everything from component implementation to deployment. You'll work in an iterative environment where shipping quickly and learning from users is key
