## About the role
We are building system-level AI products and are looking for a frontend engineer who can execute fast and build clean, scalable UI systems.
This is NOT a typical feature-driven role.
You will work on how interfaces are structured, reused, and scaled — not just how they look.
## What you will do
- Build and ship production-ready UI using Next.js (App Router)
- Create structured, reusable component systems
- Optimize performance and SEO
- Work closely with product logic, not just visuals
## Tech stack
- Next.js (App Router)
- Tailwind CSS
- Modern frontend architecture
## What matters
- Speed of execution
- Clean, structured code
- Ability to think in systems (not just components)
- Ownership (you don't wait for tasks, you solve problems)
## We are NOT looking for
- pixel-only developers
- people who only follow Figma without thinking
- slow executors
- juniors or "safe mid-level" candidates
## To apply, send
- A link to 1–2 projects where you built the frontend architecture (not just UI)
- What was the hardest technical problem there, and how you solved it
- How you approached performance optimization in a Next.js app (real example only)
Applications without these answers will not be reviewed.
We care about people who can build fast, think clearly, and deliver without hand-holding.
