Mid Level

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.
