Senior Frontend Engineer – GenAI

1. ABOUT THE ROLE

Were a cybersecurity company building a next-generation generative AI platform used across multiple product surfaces - from analyst workflows to internal operations tools. Were looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer with a strong frontend focus to design build and scale intuitive high-performance experiences for data-heavy real-time use cases.

Youll work across the stack (with emphasis on the web frontend) to turn advanced AI capabilities - reasoning retrieval and automation - into trustworthy efficient user experiences. Youll collaborate closely with design product and AI/ML teams to ship features that improve investigation speed streamline operations and elevate customer outcomes.

1. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 Development

• Own end-to-end delivery of user-facing features across investigative assistive and summarization surfaces - from proof-of-concept to launch and iteration.
• Design interactive dashboards timelines and graph/entity views that handle high-volume streaming data with intuitive drill-downs and filtering.
• Build resilient real-time UX (e.g. WebSocket/SSE) and a scalable state architecture for conversations incidents and tickets with reliable cross-view synchronization.
• Define clear API/data contracts contribute to backend endpoints as needed and integrate enterprise systems (ticketing knowledge bases telemetry/observability workflow tools).
• Implement trustworthy AI UX: streaming responses with citations guardrails/redaction and human-in-the-loop review; capture feedback to improve prompts and behaviors.
• Instrument and improve outcomes - latency error rates summary accuracy and user satisfaction - to reduce time-to-response and time-to-resolution.

2.2 Collaboration

• Work closely with backend AI product and design teams to translate complex requirements into elegant UIs
• Mentor engineers lead design reviews and evolve coding standards and best practices
• Communicate tradeoffs and architecture decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

1. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

3.1 Experience

• 5 years of professional frontend development experience (full-stack a plus)
• Track record of shipping complex data-intensive web applications at scale
• Experience operating in high-availability security-sensitive or support-critical environments
• Demonstrated ownership from architecture through delivery

3.2 Technical Skills

Core Skills (Must Have)

• Expert proficiency with modern JavaScript/TypeScript and a component-based web framework (e.g. React)
• Experience with server-rendered web apps and routing
• Strong grasp of state management patterns (e.g. state containers signals or equivalent)
• Proficiency with async data fetching and caching for server state (e.g. query/fetch layers)
• Advanced CSS skills (responsive layouts design systems accessibility)
• Experience with real-time transports (e.g. WebSocket Server-Sent Events) and streaming UX
• Git-based workflows and CI/CD; feature flagging and progressive delivery
• Comfort with charting/graph visualization libraries and building interactive drill-down dashboards
• Understanding of UX for dense high-stakes data-heavy applications
• Experience working within and evolving component libraries/design systems

Communication & Soft Skills (Very Important!)

• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Self-directed collaborative and comfortable with ambiguity in fast-moving contexts
• Experience working with distributed teams

Backend & Platform (Nice to Have for Full-Stack)

• Experience designing APIs (REST/Websocket) and integrating with event streams
• Comfort with at least one server runtime/language (e.g. Python Golang) and data storage paradigm (e.g Postgres Neo4j)
• Understanding of authentication/authorization patterns and session management

1. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS (BONUS POINTS)

AI/ML Product Experience

• Built user experiences for generative AI features (assistive workflows agent-style tool use or similar)
• Understanding of LLM streaming patterns tool orchestration and structured outputs (citations functions)
• Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation prompt strategies evaluation and guardrail techniques
• Experience visualizing reasoning traces tool execution and confidence signals for user trust

Additional Technical Skills

• Real-time collaboration (presence concurrency control CRDTs/OT)
• Graph and time-series data modeling/visualization
• Event-driven systems message queues background job orchestration
• Markdown/rich-text rendering and extensible editor frameworks
• Monorepo and micro-service architecture experience

Domain Knowledge (Cybersecurity & Operations)

• Familiarity with security operations workflows and investigation lifecycles
• Understanding of incident management alert triage and escalation processes
• Awareness of observability and root-cause analysis in distributed systems
