The RoleAs a Frontend Engineer at Phonic, you'll build the product layer that brings our voice AI to life for customers. From the real-time interfaces that power live voice conversations to the dashboards, APIs, and developer tooling that our customers rely on daily-you'll own the full surface area of what users see and interact with.
You'll work in close collaboration with our research and ML teams to translate cutting-edge voice AI capabilities into polished, production-grade product experiences. This is a role for a builder who cares deeply about craft, moves fast, and isn't afraid to take end-to-end ownership of features from design to deployment.
What You'll Do- Own features end-to-end in our TypeScript and Next.js codebase, from ideation to launch, while holding an exceptionally high bar for UX and design quality.
- Build scalable full-stack systems, polished UIs, robust developer-facing APIs, and the SDK layer that ties them together.
- Optimize performance and latency across the entire stack to ensure seamless, real-time user experiences.
- Work closely with research and model engineering to shape how our voice AI capabilities are experienced in the product.
- Contribute to our core architecture, ensuring seamless integration between our UI, SDK, and platform.
What You'll Bring- Proven track record: You've built and shipped beautiful products before and can point to production work you're incredibly proud of.
- Product & Design Intuition: You care deeply about design, animation, and UX. You have strong taste and the confidence to defend it.
- Full-Stack Proficiency: You're comfortable across the full stack: frontend, backend, APIs, and everything in between.
- Execution Mindset: You set direction, own decisions, and get things across the finish line. Shipping is a skill you have mastered.
- Autonomy: You thrive in environments where you can be autonomous, opinionated, and move fast.
Nice To Have- Experience building real-time or streaming applications (WebSockets, WebRTC, audio/media APIs).
- Experience with monorepo setups using Turborepo or similar tooling.
- Experience with modern UI animation libraries (like Motion/Framer Motion) to build fluid, organic interfaces.
- Familiarity with voice, telephony, or conversational AI products.
- You are a former product lead or startup founder.
