startup

Experience building component libraries or design systems used across multiple teams.

A hands-on, problem-solving mindset - you don't wait for direction, you create it.

Some backend understanding (Node.js, APIs, integration).

Senior-level experience in TypeScript / React / Next.js (or similar modern frameworks).

Autonomy, speed, and genuine ownership from day one.

Ideally, some founder or early-stage experience - you've built or owned something before, even if it failed.

It's a complex problem, and they're looking for someone who's wired like a founder - an experienced Frontend Engineer who's built things from scratch, who thrives on autonomy, and who wants to have a direct hand in shaping how a product looks, feels, and performs.

Experience working in a startup or fast-moving SaaS environment.

If you love early-stage building - where decisions matter, ideas move fast, and your work defines what the company becomes - this is that opportunity.

Curiosity about AI and LLM-driven products.

Strong software engineering fundamentals - you can pick up any unfamiliar codebase and reason about how it works.
