Big Wave Digital is partnering with an early-stage AI company to find its first Frontend Engineer.
The company is building the AI intelligence platform for a large, data-rich industry. As the founding frontend hire, you'll build the interface every client engagement runs on, and create the design system the rest of the team uses to build client-facing apps.
What you'll be working on
• AI answers that stream in and link back to their exact source.
• Review queues where people approve AI outputs.
• Document upload and correction flows.
• Knowledge graph exploration.
• Dashboards on model performance.
• A design system and component library for the whole team.
This is data-heavy product UI for technical users, closer to building an analytics tool than a consumer app. Full-stack engineers whose strength is frontend are very welcome.
What we're looking for
• 3+ years of frontend engineering on B2B or data-heavy web apps.
• Experience building data-heavy product UI: dashboards, data or graph visualisations, or real-time and streaming data views.
• You've built and owned a design system or component library, not just used one.
• Production React and TypeScript.
• A portfolio or live examples of UI you've shipped – please include a link with your application.
Nice to have
• Experience as an early frontend hire at a startup, building product UI from scratch.
• Full-stack experience and comfort building API endpoints when needed.
• Next.js, Tailwind, D3 and Figma, including AI design-to-code tools such as Figma MCP.
The package
• US$150K–$200K base salary + meaningful equity (compensation is equity-heavy).
• Fully remote within the USA.
A few practical details
Applicants must be US citizens or green card holders; visa sponsorship is unavailable.
The interview process includes an initial screen, a technical review of your shipped work and design system experience, a CEO interview and a final team interview. Please note: although this role is fully remote, the interview process may include an in-person element.
