Job description
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're an early-stage AI-powered talent acquisition startup on a mission to replace the traditional job application process with smart, direct introductions between candidates and hiring teams. Our platform acts as a personalized AI talent agent — understanding candidate preferences through natural conversation and connecting them directly with the right opportunities at startups.
We're hiring our first full-time Founding Frontend Engineer to help shape and build the consumer-facing product from the ground up. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the heart of our product and engineering team.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own and drive the frontend architecture and development of our core consumer product end-to-end.
- Collaborate closely with design and product to translate Figma designs into polished, performant UI experiences.
- Leverage AI coding tools to move fast and maintain high code quality.
- Help establish frontend best practices, tooling, and processes as an early founding team member.
- Contribute meaningfully to product decisions — your voice shapes what we build and how.
- Work in a fast-paced, iterative environment where your work directly impacts thousands of users.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required:
- 3–5 years of frontend development experience, with a strong focus on consumer/B2C products.
- At least 2 years of experience at a B2C company — you understand what great consumer UX feels like.
- Proficiency with Figma and comfortable working directly from design files.
- Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, or similar).
- Authorized to work in the United States — visa sponsorship is not available.
Nice to Have:
- Experience working in early-stage startups or as part of a founding team.
- Willingness to be present in San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York City as needed.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary: €55,000 – €65,000 annually
- Founding team equity and early-stage upside
- Direct impact on product direction and company culture
LOCATION
This is a hybrid role based primarily in San Francisco, CA. Occasional presence in Los Angeles or New York City may be required. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States — no visa sponsorship is available.
