AI / Open Source / Developer Tooling

A pioneering open-source startup is building a platform to optimise LLM applications through observability, experimentation, and feedback loops. Backed by top-tier investors and led by a deeply technical founding team, they are creating the infrastructure to make LLMs smarter, faster, and more cost-effective. With a long-term vision and years of runway, they are focused on building a world-class developer experience from the ground up.

THE ROLE

As a Founding Front-End Engineer, you'll be responsible for designing and building intuitive, high-impact user interfaces-starting with an open-source observability dashboard. You'll work closely with a small, technical team to shape the product's direction and user experience, while also having the opportunity to expand your skills across the stack.

This is a rare opportunity to join a company at the earliest stage and help define the future of developer tooling for LLMs.

  • Lead the design and development of front-end features, starting with the observability dashboard.
  • Build delightful, performant interfaces using tools like React, Remix, and Tailwind.
  • Collaborate with a technical team to shape product direction and user experience.
  • Contribute to open-source projects and help define engineering best practices.
  • Expand your skill set across the stack (e.g., Rust, ML) as the company grows.

SKILLS

  • Masters or PhD in Comp Sci from a globally recognized institution
  • Strong technical background with experience leading front-end projects from inception to deployment.
  • Deep expertise in front-end development, particularly with React and modern frameworks.
  • Passion for design and building developer tools that are both functional and delightful.
  • Eagerness to learn and grow in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
  • Preference for in-person collaboration in a high-energy NYC office.

BENEFITS

  • Work on open-source software with public impact.
  • Collaborate with top-tier engineers and researchers.
  • Shape the future of LLM infrastructure and developer tools.
  • Backed by leading investors with a long-term mindset.
