  • Ensure all user interfaces strictly adhere to WCAG accessibility standards and the Elastic design system.
  • Implement tracking to monitor user satisfaction, prompt effectiveness, and interface usability.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation for UI component systems and front-end architecture guidelines.

What we're looking for

  • Experience building user interfaces for generative AI applications including conversational interfaces and agent workflows.
  • Mastery of modern front-end technologies including TypeScript, JavaScript, React, HTML5, and CSS/Sass.
  • Expertise in managing complex asynchronous UI states, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming LLM responses.
  • Proficiency in UX/UI design principles, wireframing, design systems, and rapid prototyping.
  • Experience integrating front-end systems with AI/LLM backend services and orchestration tools like LangGraph or REST/GraphQL APIs.
  • Ability to contribute to enterprise design systems and documentation tools such as Storybook.
  • Knowledge of web performance optimization, cross-browser compatibility, and WCAG accessibility guidelines.
