As Senior Frontend Engineer, you will own the UI for every prototype this team ships. You will work closely with our in-house UX designer, turning Figma designs into polished, client-ready React interfaces. You will also set the frontend standards, component patterns, and visual quality bar for the team. This is a role for a frontend engineer who cares deeply about craft. The work will go beyond standard forms and dashboards. Many of the products we are building are agent-driven, which means you will help explore what UI looks like when the product experience is shaped by AI agents, conversational workflows, and new human-AI interaction patterns.

Challenge UX and product decisions constructively when there are better implementation or interaction approaches. Explore emerging UI patterns for agentic systems, conversational interfaces, and AI-assisted workflows. Contribute to rapid product discovery while keeping the frontend codebase clean, maintainable, and scalable. What We’re Looking For Strong professional experience with React, TypeScript, and modern frontend development. Proven ability to implement high-fidelity Figma designs with accuracy and attention to detail. Strong understanding of frontend architecture, component design, state management, and reusable UI patterns. A portfolio or body of work that shows strong visual craft and attention to user experience. Experience building polished dashboards, workflow tools, data-heavy interfaces, or internal product platforms. Ability to work independently as the primary frontend engineer in a small product team. Confidence working with designers, product owners, backend engineers, and AI specialists. A strong point of view on interaction design and the ability to challenge decisions constructively. An AI-augmented approach to software development, using modern AI tools to improve speed, quality, or productivity. Curiosity about agentic, conversational, or human-AI interface patterns. Nice to Have Experience working on AI-enabled, agent-driven, or conversational interfaces. Familiarity with Google ADK or similar agent development frameworks. Experience with GCP-based deployment environments. Telecoms, OSS, network operations, or network automation domain experience. Experience building prototypes, proofs-of-concept, or early-stage product interfaces.
