What this job asks for AI summary
A frontend engineering role at an early-stage AI security startup, focused on building and owning the frontend infrastructure — including a design system, core component library, UI testing framework, and tooling that lets non-frontend developers and AI coding agents ship consistent interfaces. The role also involves constructing agentic UI patterns (such as chat interfaces) and contributing to product direction. It suits a generalist frontend engineer with strong product instincts who is comfortable making architectural decisions independently.
