Senior Software Engineer; GenAI Frontend

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience launching and iterating on large web frontends
• Proficiency with Type Script and at least one popular framework/library (Angular, React, Lit, etc.)
• Leading large technical projects with multiple stakeholders, while making practical trade-offs and phased deliverables, and documenting best practices
• Proficiency with browser-native technologies and infrastructure (e.g. web workers, safely hosting user data/code, client-side AI in Chrome)
• Experience using LLMs for structured content generation
• (Desirable) Strong interest in improving the accessibility of robotics, especially for automated manufacturing
• (Desirable) Past or current research experience (PhD in Computer Science or equivalent), especially in building innovative interfaces
• (Desirable) Startup (or similar) experience — building the 0 to 1 in a rapidly changing technical landscape

• We see this role contributing in the following three areas, roughly ordered by increasing levels of technical difficulty, leadership, and scope
• Conversational experience prototype:
  You will develop a web-based application given initial mocks and backend services. This application will allow users to author a robot solution from multi-modal prompts. In the short term you will contribute towards an in-progress research prototype. In the long term you will drive the conversion of this prototype into a production-grade application.
• Bespoke frontends for robotics:
  We believe generative AI enables all users to rapidly generate individually customized web experiences. As a long-term research project, you will build a frontend that can be customized via conversational prompts and composed of pre-existing (and AI-generated) web components, all backed by the end-to-end Intrinsic platform.
• This is a hands‑on role: your day‑to‑day work will involve planning and road‑mapping a greenfield project while also spending the majority of your time designing, developing, and iterating on code. Your technical leadership and developer skills will be necessary to scope projects and to deliver them in phases. You will work closely with a sub‑team within Intrinsic R&D, but will also frequently collaborate with other engineering, product, and UX groups within Intrinsic.
