Job Description
Role Overview

Reflection's alpha product turns cutting-edge AI research into a developer-friendly platform for engineering teams at global enterprises. You will lead the customer-facing surfaces of that product - from the web dashboard(s) to our upcoming desktop app.

What You'll Work On

  • Own Customer-Facing Surfaces

    • Ship the main web dashboard, in-app onboarding, and the desktop application (Tauri/Electron) that customers run locally.

  • Define Frontend Architecture

    • Establish component libraries, state-management patterns, test automation, and build pipelines that keep velocity high as the team scales.

  • End-to-End Product Delivery

    • Design and consume API contracts with backend peers; jump into server code when it unblocks the feature.

  • Performance & Quality

    • Drive initiatives that improve first-load time, interaction latency, accessibility, and visual polish across devices.

  • Enterprise-Grade Integrations

    • Implement secure auth flows (OIDC/SAML), role-based UIs, and configuration wizards that make deployment in regulated environments painless.

Must Haves

  • 5+ years shipping production web apps with React (or a comparable framework) and TypeScript.

  • Demonstrated ownership of complex features from spec production monitoring.

  • Deep understanding of modern JavaScript/TypeScript, browser performance, accessibility fundamentals, and secure session management.

  • Comfortable designing/consuming API contracts and collaborating closely with Python or Go backend engineers.

  • Proven ability to make pragmatic architecture trade-offs and drive consensus in a fast-moving, remote team.

Good to Haves

  • Experience building or maintaining design systems, micro-frontend platforms, or desktop apps with Tauri/Electron.

  • Familiarity with Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infra (AWS/GCP/Azure).

  • Exposure to enterprise authentication (SAML, SCIM), SOC2/GDPR compliance, or financial-grade security.

  • Prior work in AI/ML product surfaces, data visualization, or developer-tool UX.

  • Open-source contributions, tech talks, or blogging that showcase thought leadership.
