About the Role

We're hiring a Frontend Engineer to design and build the user interface for an OS-like platform that makes distributed systems approachable for both individual developers and production teams. You'll help define interaction patterns, visualizations, and realtime UIs that translate complex cluster state into clear, actionable experiences.

What You'll Do

  • Own the platform's user interface, including cluster provisioning flows, natural language interfaces, and real-time proactive system insights

  • Design and build visualization systems that make distributed state legible at a glance

  • Surface the right information by integrating with Kubernetes APIs, GitOps controllers, and gRPC/cRPC backends

  • Build real-time reactive UIs using modern realtime frameworks that scale from single users to large teams

  • Prototype new interaction patterns for infrastructure management, test assumptions quickly, and iterate based on feedback

  • Collaborate with backend and platform teams to design elegant protocols for the frontend

  • Establish frontend architecture patterns and best practices as an early engineering team member

  • Write maintainable, well-structured frontend code and champion code quality across the product

What We're Looking For

  • Strong frontend fundamentals and a track record shipping user-facing infrastructure or developer tools

  • Practical experience building end-to-end applications using React, modern CSS frameworks, and component libraries

  • Experience or familiarity with realtime/reactive UI patterns and frameworks

  • Basic knowledge of Kubernetes (pods, deployments, services) and how distributed systems behave

  • Deep understanding of performance, accessibility, and frontend best practices

  • Experience creating visualization systems and compute-efficient UI animations

  • Comfortable working with complex state management that reflects real-world infrastructure

  • Experience working with APIs and backend services, with willingness to contribute to backend logic when needed

  • Familiarity with observability and analytics tools

  • Strong communication skills, self-direction, and ability to collaborate across product, design, and backend teams
