Senior Frontend Engineer

Our vision is to build a personal copilot for every You Tube creator. We work in small, focused teams where people are expected to understand the problem, make decisions, and take ownership of the outcome.

vidIQ meets creators where they are, through a web app, mobile apps, and browser extensions. Our frontend is built with React, Next.js, Type Script, Vite, and Tailwind. We use a range of AI models to power creator-facing features such as ideation, metadata generation, and content insights.

• Own product surfaces end to end. You’ll be the go‑to owner for key parts of vidIQ, we serve over 1M daily active creators. You’ll set their direction, track how they perform, and decide what to improve next.
• Work across the stack. You’ll build and change backend APIs, services, and data flows when a feature needs it, instead of waiting on another team.
• Drive your own roadmap. You’ll spot opportunities in user feedback, data, and the codebase, turn them into proposals, align with product and design, and deliver without needing to be managed closely.
• Modernize the frontend. You’ll lead the refactor of key features from JavaScript to Type Script to improve performance and maintainability, using AI‑assisted tooling where it speeds up the work without lowering the bar for quality.
• Build AI‑powered product experiences. You’ll ship LLM‑driven features across the stack, from model integration and prompts on the backend to streaming responses, error handling, and clear UX when model output is unpredictable.
• Fix architecture and performance problems. You’ll find bottlenecks and weaknesses anywhere in the request path, frontend or backend, and leave the system better than you found it.
• Make AI part of how the team works. You’ll use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Git Hub Copilot every day, share what works, and help set team practices for using AI responsibly.
• Improve durability. You’ll test important workflows, add useful monitoring and error reporting, and own what you ship after it’s live, whether you wrote every line or reviewed and refined AI‑generated code.
• Raise the bar through review and mentorship. You’ll review code from other engineers, AI‑assisted or not, and give feedback that helps others grow.

• You have at least 5 years of professional software development experience.
• You’re strongest on the frontend, but you’re comfortable on the backend. You can design an API, write server‑side code, work with databases, and debug problems that cross the client‑server boundary.
• You’re self‑driven. You don’t need a detailed spec to get started, and you’re happy making decisions, asking the right questions, and moving work forward on your own.
• You act like an owner. When something you’re responsible for breaks, under performs, or confuses users, you notice and fix it before anyone asks.
• You’ve led projects from concept to completion, including documenting the work and teaching others about it.
• You care about product quality and leave codebases in better shape than you found them.
• You write and speak clearly, and you can explain technical concepts to non‑technical people.
• You’re confident with Type Script, React, Next.js, Vite, and Tailwind.
• You’re a heavy, thoughtful user of AI tools. AI coding assistants and agents are part of how you plan, build, debug, test, and review every day. You know where they save you hours and where they fail, and you check AI output as carefully as you’d check a teammate’s pull request.
• You keep up with the fast‑moving AI landscape and like trying new models, tools, and workflows.

• Backend experience with Node.js, Scala, and/or Python, plus relational databases, caching, and queues
• Experience with Redux, Redux Saga,…
