Founding Frontend Engineer

LLM Infrastructure

Brooklyn, New York

$200k - $300k

We're working with a stealth-mode AI infrastructure startup that's transforming how teams optimize and scale large language model (LLM) applications. Their open-source platform is designed to create a feedback loop that makes LLMs smarter, faster, and more cost-efficient - turning production data into performance gains in real time.

The company's tooling powers observability, optimization, and experimentation at lightning speed - purpose-built for the most complex, multi-step LLM workflows. They're just getting started and are looking for a founding frontend engineer to lead product development from 0-1.

Why this role?

  • Open Source & Impact - You'll contribute to a public-facing, open-source product in a space where frontend work is typically underrepresented.
  • Greenfield Ownership - You'll take full ownership of the frontend architecture and user experience.
  • High-Impact Domain - The product solves unique challenges across UI/UX, dealing with dense, programmatic workflows and high-volume LLM data.
  • Founding Team Access - Work directly with two technical cofounders (ex-Stanford) and help shape company direction.

What you'll do:

  • Build out the core frontend in React/TypeScript from the ground up
  • Design and implement features across observability, evaluation, and optimization tools
  • Work closely with the cofounders on product design, UX, and integrations
  • Shape engineering culture and tooling as an early technical leader

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has strong experience building products and features from scratch (0-1 work is a must)
  • Thrives in fast-paced startup environments and wants broad ownership
  • Ideally has an academic background from a top-tier institution
  • Bonus if you've contributed to open-source projects or have a technical portfolio

Tech Stack:

  • React & TypeScript (must-have)
  • Nice-to-haves: RemixJS, Tailwind, UI/UX design experience, Rust (for future backend work)

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly technical, mission-driven startup early, and make a measurable impact on how AI products are built and scaled.
