Full Job Description
Who You Are
Code-first builder with exceptional design taste - You're a front-end engineer who happens to have a great eye for design. You can debate the merits of Server Components vs Client Components as easily as you can critique visual hierarchy.
Master of the modern web stack - React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind aren't just tools you use-they're tools you've mastered. You know the performance implications of your choices and write code that's both beautiful and fast.
Obsessive about craft and details - You notice when animations feel off by 50ms, when a loading state causes layout shift, or when a color doesn't meet WCAG standards. You fix these things without being asked.
Full-stack front-end engineer - Comfortable working across the entire front-end stack, from API integration and state management to responsive layouts and micro-interactions. Bonus if you can jump into Python backends when needed.
Owner, not executor - You prototype quickly, gather feedback, iterate fast, and ship confidently. You take features from zero to production and own the outcomes.
Product-minded engineer - You push back on designs that don't serve users, suggest improvements to the product direction, and think deeply about user flows. You build with empathy and intention.
Comfortable in ambiguity - You thrive when the problem space is undefined. You're energized by questions like "how should people discover Delphi's?" rather than paralyzed by them.
What You'll Do
Build the core interfaces of Delphi Studio - Own and ship the primary user-facing features: creation flows, customization tools, and interaction patterns. You'll write the React components, build the APIs integrations, and polish every detail.
Create a discovery platform for digital minds - Design and implement the browsing experience, search functionality, filtering systems, and recommendation interfaces. Make exploring thousands of AI personas feel effortless and delightful.
Architect scalable front-end systems - Build reusable component libraries, establish patterns for state management, optimize bundle sizes, and ensure the app performs beautifully at scale.
Translate AI complexity into simple UX - Work directly with product and backend engineers to understand AI capabilities, then build interfaces that expose the power while hiding the complexity.
Set the standard for quality - Your code will be the example others follow. Write clean TypeScript, build accessible components, implement smooth animations, and establish the bar for what "production-ready" means.
Collaborate across disciplines - Partner closely with designers to refine mockups and improve interactions. Work with backend engineers to define API contracts. Sync with product to shape roadmap priorities.
Benefits
