Frontend Engineer — Infrastructure OS Platform

About the Role

We're hiring a Frontend Engineer to design and build the user interface for an OS-like platform that makes distributed systems approachable for both individual developers and production teams. You'll help define interaction patterns, visualizations, and realtime UIs that translate complex cluster state into clear, actionable experiences.

What You'll Do

Own the platform's user interface, including cluster provisioning flows, natural language interfaces, and real-time proactive system insights

Design and build visualization systems that make distributed state legible at a glance

Surface the right information by integrating with Kubernetes APIs, GitOps controllers, and gRPC/cRPC backends

Build real-time reactive UIs using modern realtime frameworks that scale from single users to large teams

Prototype new interaction patterns for infrastructure management, test assumptions quickly, and iterate based on feedback

Collaborate with backend and platform teams to design elegant protocols for the frontend

Establish frontend architecture patterns and best practices as an early engineering team member

Write maintainable, well-structured frontend code and champion code quality across the product

What We're Looking For

Strong frontend fundamentals and a track record shipping user-facing infrastructure or developer tools

Practical experience building end-to-end applications using React, modern CSS frameworks, and component libraries

Experience or familiarity with realtime/reactive UI patterns and frameworks

Basic knowledge of Kubernetes (pods, deployments, services) and how distributed systems behave

Deep understanding of performance, accessibility, and frontend best practices

Experience creating visualization systems and compute-efficient UI animations

Comfortable working with complex state management that reflects real-world infrastructure

Experience working with APIs and backend services, with willingness to contribute to backend logic when needed

Familiarity with observability and analytics tools

Strong communication skills, self-direction, and ability to collaborate across product, design, and backend teams
