UI/UX Developer w/AI focus

Critical Competencies

• Ability to leverage agentic AI development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Antigravity, Kiro) to accelerate coding workflows, debug complex issues, and streamline the software development lifecycle.
• Foundational AI knowledge and practical experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into applications.
• Experience with AWS services to connect intelligent backend models with user-friendly frontend experiences.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy scalable, highly responsive user interfaces using ReactJS, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
• Implement modern, accessible, and maintainable UI components and styling using Tailwind CSS, shadcn, Radix UI, or similar component libraries.
• Utilize Vite for frontend tooling, application builds, and optimized bundling.
• Collaborate with backend developers to integrate Python-based RESTful APIs and machine learning models into frontend applications.
• Leverage agentic AI development tools to improve development velocity, code quality, testing, debugging, and deployment processes.
• Deploy and manage frontend applications using AWS services including S3, CloudFront, API Gateway, and related technologies.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate AI capabilities, including chatbots, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) interfaces, intelligent search, and conversational experiences.
• Contribute to software architecture and technical design decisions to ensure applications are scalable, secure, reliable, and performant.
• Rapidly prototype UI/UX concepts and iterate on solutions supporting mission-critical challenges such as data triage, operational decision-making, and automated discovery.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required.
• Minimum of five (5) years of hands-on software engineering experience with a focus on frontend development. A Master's degree or applicable industry certification may substitute for up to two years of experience.
