TL;DR · Software Engineer II, Frontend Agentic AI

As a Software Engineer II, Frontend Agentic AI, you will join the team to build the primary interfaces users utilize to interact with autonomous AI workers. You will own the development of conversational experiences, memory management views, real-time execution timelines, and human-in-the-loop approval flows for agent actions. Your daily work involves building complex features like streaming responses, tool call visualizations, and a Worker Builder interface where users configure digital workers via natural language. To succeed, you must possess deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern state management tools such as hooks or state machines. You will also utilize WebSockets and server-sent events to manage real-time data. The role focuses on solving the challenge of creating intuitive interaction patterns for long-horizon agents where standard UI conventions do not yet exist.

What you'll do

  • Build conversational interfaces for long-horizon agents featuring streaming responses, tool calls, and mid-task steering controls.
  • Design and ship memory management interfaces that allow users to view, edit, and delete agent context.
  • Develop real-time execution views using WebSockets or server-sent events to display plans, steps, and artifacts.
  • Create human-in-the-loop approval surfaces with clear diffs for actions involving external systems.
  • Build a Worker Builder interface where users can configure digital workers using natural language.
  • Manage complex client states for long-running sessions including reconnection, optimistic updates, and failure recovery.
  • Develop a reusable component library to ensure consistent and polished interfaces across all agentic patterns.
  • Collaborate with backend and agent engineers to define the APIs and event streams powering the frontend.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience as a senior individual contributor.
  • 3+ years of front-end engineering experience with expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern state management.
  • Experience building chat, copilot, or other LLM-powered interfaces in production.
  • Hands-on experience with real-time UIs including WebSockets, server-sent events, and streaming rendering.
  • Experience integrating front ends with LLM APIs to handle streamed, partial, and structured model outputs.
  • Strong product sense to design interaction patterns where no standard exists yet.
  • Ability to translate designs into fast, polished, and responsive production code.
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph), AI front-end SDKs, or experience with design systems (preferred).
