We are looking for a creative and technically proficient Front-End Developer who bridges the gap between sophisticated machine learning models and intuitive user interfaces. In this role, you won't just be "consuming" APIs; you will be responsible for architecting how users interact with AI, optimizing on-device performance, and crafting seamless experiences for generative and predictive features.

• AI-Driven UI/UX:
  Design and implement responsive, high-performance web interfaces that leverage AI/ML capabilities (e.g., real-time suggestions, generative content, or data visualizations).
• Model Integration:
  Work closely with Data Scientists to integrate ML models into front-end workflows, utilizing technologies like Tensor Flow.js, Web Assembly (WASM), or ONNX Runtime for browser-based inference.
• State Management:
  Manage complex application states, particularly when handling asynchronous AI responses, streaming data (LLM tokens), and "loading" states for intensive computations.
• Performance Optimization:
  Ensure low-latency interactions by optimizing front-end assets and managing the client-side computational load of ML models.
• Prototyping:
  Rapidly build functional prototypes to test new AI features, such as prompt interfaces, chat-based UI, and automated data labeling tools.

• Core Front-End:
  Proficiency in React, Vue, or Next.js and a deep understanding of modern CSS (Tailwind, Styled Components).
• AI/ML Foundations:
  Familiarity with ML concepts such as Neural Networks, NLP, Computer Vision, and experience working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Lang Chain).
• Browser ML:
  Hands‑on experience with client‑side ML libraries like Tensor Flow.js or Transformers.js.
• Data Visualization:
  Ability to represent complex AI outputs using libraries like D3.js, Three.js, or Recharts.
• Tooling:
  Strong command of Type Script and modern build tools (Vite, Webpack).

• Experience with Vector Databases (Pinecone, Weaviate) and building RAG (Retrieval‑Augmented Generation) interfaces.
• Understanding of WebGPU or WebGL for hardware‑accelerated rendering and computation.
• A portfolio showing creative use of AI in a web environment (e.g., custom image editors, voice‑controlled interfaces, or smart dashboards).

Unlike a traditional front-end role, you will be at the forefront of the "AI-First" software revolution. You will have a direct impact on how humans perceive and interact with artificial intelligence, turning "black box" algorithms into delightful, accessible user experiences.
