Staff Frontend Engineer (Web/UI Design)
Location: Palo Alto, CA (Hybrid)
Full-time | Competitive Salary: $220K–$280K + Equity
We’re looking for a Staff Frontend Engineer to help invent the next generation of web experiences for AI-native creative tools. This isn’t your typical frontend role—here, design and engineering come together to redefine how people interact with cutting-edge AI technologies. If you’re passionate about intuitive interfaces, pixel-perfect design, and building magical user experiences at scale, we want to talk.
What You'll Do
Collaborate with world-class designers to build interactive tools for video and AI generation
Push the boundaries of frontend performance and animation
Prototype new UI paradigms that don’t exist—yet
Build reusable components and systems that scale to millions of users
Deliver beautiful, functional, and highly polished web interfaces
Participate in thoughtful code reviews and contribute to a culture of design/engineering excellence
Qualifications:
Have ~7+ years of experience building modern frontend products
Are an expert in JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS, and React
Care deeply about user experience, design detail, and interaction smoothness
Love solving hard problems at the intersection of design and performance
Enjoy working in close partnership with product and design teams
Have a strong portfolio of shipped products or side projects you’re proud of
Obsess over polish and know when something is 1px off
Nice-to-Haves:
Experience with real-time rendering or video tools
A strong eye for motion design and animations
Background in creative tools, multimedia apps, or design systems
Why Join Us?
You’ll help shape entirely new interaction models in a fast-paced, design-driven environment. We're reimagining the creative process for a future powered by AI—and building tools that let people create the unimaginable.
This is a hybrid role based in Palo Alto, CA, offering the best of both worlds: in-person collaboration with deep solo focus time.
