Member of Technical Staff – Frontend

At Inflection AI, our public benefit mission is to harness the power of AI to improve human well-being and productivity.

The next era of AI will be defined by agents we trust to act on our behalf. 

We’re pioneering this future with human-centered AI models that unite emotional intelligence (EQ) and raw intelligence (IQ)—transforming interactions from transactional to relational, to create enduring value for individuals and enterprises alike.

Our work comes to life in two ways today:

Pi, your personal AI, designed to be a kind and supportive companion that elevates everyday life with practical assistance and perspectives.

Platform — large-language models (LLMs) and APIs that enable builders, agents, and enterprises to bring Pi-class emotional intelligence into experiences where empathy and human understanding matter most.

We are building toward a future of AI agents that earn trust, deepen understanding, and create aligned, long-term value for all.

About the Role

As a frontend engineer at Inflection, you will craft intuitive, responsive, and elegant interfaces like pi.ai that bring our LLM-powered products to life. You’ll work hand-in-hand with product, research, and design teams to build rich user experiences—from rapid prototypes to scalable production apps—that showcase the capabilities of our conversational AI.

This is a good role for you if you:

• Have 4+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade web applications
• Are fluent with React, TypeScript, and frontend performance debugging tools (e.g., Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools, Web Vitals)
• Have built interactive UIs from scratch—ideally with experience handling real-time updates, accessibility, and responsive design
• Understand the trade-offs between UX richness, responsiveness, performance, and maintainability
• Have designed systems that balance experimentation and rapid iteration with long-term scalability
• Are energized by working in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment with deep technical challenges
  
  

Responsibilities include:

• Design and build performant, maintainable frontend systems using TypeScript, React, and modern web tooling
• Collaborate with researchers to surface advanced model behaviors—including tool use, RAG, and personalization—through intuitive UX paradigms
• Develop and maintain internal UI components and design systems used across multiple product surfaces
• Integrate real-time data and analytics pipelines to visualize assistant behavior, model performance, and user feedback
• Build developer infrastructure to support fast iteration cycles: hot reloading, component testing, E2E automation, and visual diffing
• Work across the stack with backend and platform teams to ship end-to-end features with minimal latency and maximum reliability
• Contribute to a culture of high code quality, continuous improvement, and shared ownership
