What You'll Do
- Design and ship interfaces where operators interact with AI systems to perform real operational work.
- Collaborate closely with AI Strategists and customer domain experts to understand real workflows.
- Translate those workflows into working product experiences that allow operators to interact with and guide AI systems.
- Move quickly from idea to prototype to production.
- Use real user interactions and system behavior to refine both the product experience and the AI systems it supports.
- Integrate applications with LLMs, evaluation pipelines, and internal AI infrastructure.
- Understand how interface design affects system behavior, feedback quality, user trust, and system improvement loops.
What We're Looking For
- 0–3 years of software engineering experience.
- Comfortable building modern web applications using tools such as TypeScript, React, modern component libraries, and API-driven architectures.
Nice to Have
- Sharp eye for detail and a natural sense for what makes a product sing.
- Care about how a workflow feels effortless, how an interface guides people naturally.
- Actively use AI tools in your daily workflow for writing and debugging code, generating prototypes, exploring designs, and accelerating iteration.
