Frontend-Leaning Fullstack Engineer

Palo Alto, CA · Hybrid · Full-time

$180K–$280K base + competitive equity

This is a B2B enterprise AI startup building the workflow layer for revenue teams. The product captures commitments across email, CRM, calls, and Slack, then surfaces the next step, prepares reps with context, and flags forecast risk before it turns into a problem.

The company was founded in 2024 by operators with prior experience at Glean, Patreon, and Apple Cloud. It is backed by top-tier VCs, already serves multiple unicorn customers, and is still small enough that the product architecture is being shaped now, not maintained after the fact.

This is an AI chief of staff for revenue teams, not a generic chatbot in front of a dashboard. The product has to earn trust inside enterprise workflows, where the UI is part of the system.

This is a frontend-leaning fullstack role for an engineer who wants ownership beyond shipping screens. You will shape the core user experience, define the APIs and data flow behind it, and help turn AI-assisted sales workflows into software that enterprise users can rely on.

This is senior-scope ownership on the core team: the work spans product design, frontend architecture, interaction design, and the API layer. If you want a narrow implementation seat, this is not that role.

The hard problem is turning messy enterprise context into a product that feels simple.

Users move across multiple systems. Data arrives asynchronously. Model output is probabilistic. The interface has to explain what the system knows, what it does not know, and what action the user should take next.

That means the work is not just frontend implementation. It is information architecture, API shape, interaction design, and the judgment to keep the product coherent as it grows.

• Core product surfaces: build new user-facing features from scratch in React, TypeScript, and Next.js.
• Core entry points: redesign the homepage and other high-traffic experiences for enterprise customers.
• AI interaction design: collaborate on how LLM-powered features present information, request input, and recover from uncertainty.
• API layer ownership: own the frontend and API layers for specific projects so the user experience and data contracts stay aligned.
• Frontend architecture: set standards for component structure, state management, and maintainability as the product surface expands.
• Execution quality: ship large features, smaller improvements, and bug fixes with the same attention to correctness and UX detail.

You are likely a fit if you have:

• Owned production frontend or fullstack systems end to end.
• Strong judgment around state, API boundaries, and component architecture.
• Experience turning ambiguous product goals into clear UI and data flows.
• Comfort working on enterprise software where edge cases and workflow complexity matter.
• The ability to collaborate directly on product and interaction decisions without a heavy process layer.
• Enough fullstack fluency to move across the API layer when the product needs it.
• An instinct for when a UI issue is really a system design issue.

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Next.js

The customer base is growing, and the next bottleneck is experience quality at scale. The company needs an engineer who can help it add new AI workflows without turning the product into a pile of one-off screens and ad hoc API calls.

Because the team is about 22 people, the way this role shapes the frontend architecture will matter for a long time. This is the point where good product instincts and strong systems thinking compound.

• You want to implement designs without touching architecture or data flow.
• You prefer narrow tickets over end-to-end ownership.
• You are not comfortable designing API contracts or interaction patterns.
• You want to work only on greenfield features and avoid refinement, debugging, or cleanup.
• You think enterprise UX is mostly a design problem.
