Member of Technical Staff - Front-End & Graphics & GUI

Generation Alpha Transistor is an early stage startup bringing AI to chip design. Founded in 2024 by a team of world-class experts in semiconductors, ML and AI, and well-funded by Silicon Valley’s best VCs. We’re in a silicon renaissance, fueled by demand for AI and the end of Moore’s Law. NVDA going to infinity is barely the start of the first inning. There’s only one problem: designing all those new chips. At nanometer scales this has grown exponentially more complex, costly, and laborious. GenAlpha brings the power of AI to automate their most painful bottlenecks. As an MTS you'll work in a dynamic & high-growth environment, directly with our founders and customers, including some of the world’s biggest & highest-impact semiconductor designers & fabs. Expect to work on any & all of: Develop a high-performance web + desktop 2D graphical CAD environment Requires proficiency with one or more of JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust Experience with WebGL, WebGPU, or other graphics APIs highly desirable Experience with 2D graphics, computational geometry, game engines, graphics engines, high-performance rendering all pluses, especially in the context of CAD design systems Knowledge of WebAssembly/ WASM & other high-performance performance frontend tactics highly desirable No web framework experience required. No React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Elm, none of that. None of the bolt-on tools such as Redux, MobX either. Experience with high-performance/ binary serialization formats such as ProtoBuf, Capn Proto, FlatBuffers etc a plus Bonus points for full-stack experience, LLM-centric AI, and silicon EDA. (Don't worry if you never heard of that last one.) Reach out here or on LinkedIn or to careers @gen-alpha.io. #Culture We're a small, all-technical team, all working at the forefront of turning AI intro next-gen silicon. We're in-office, in-person by design, optimized for collaboration. We value software generalists & polyglots who are unafraid to try & learn new & valuable tools, wherever they can be found. Past experience in cloud-native B2B and customer-facing engineering roles is a plus. Desire to grow into engineering leadership is a plus. Desire to work in a rapidly changing, early stage startup environment is a must. Everyone on the Gen Alpha team gets the same title: Member of Technical Staff. Compensation varies with experience and fit, with competitive salaries and meaningful equity for all team members. We provide the best medical, dental, and vision coverage we can get, for both you and family. We sponsor work visas and permanent residency applications for qualified international candidates.
