Senior UI/UX Developer

Job Overview

We’re hiring a Senior UI/UX Developer to design and build user interfaces for an AI-first, data-centric platform. You’ll own the end-to-end experience for chat/assistive workflows, human-in-the-loop (HITL) approvals, and explainability views (sources, rationales). The ideal candidate blends product sense with strong frontend engineering, accessibility, and design-system rigor-shipping fast, usable, and secure interfaces.

Key Responsibilities

• Product UX & Flow Design: Define user journeys for discovery → answer → approval → action; craft low/high-fidelity prototypes and interaction specs.
• HITL & Explainability UI: Build approval modals and review panes that summarize intent, scope, impacted systems, and sources/subgraph rationale; ensure clear confirm/reject flows with auditability.
• Chat & Workspace Interfaces: Implement responsive chat/workbench UI, message streaming, citations, error states, and retries; support role-based views and guardrail feedback.
• Component Library & Design System: Establish reusable components, tokens, theming, and documentation; maintain consistency, accessibility, and performance across surfaces.
• Frontend Engineering: Ship production SPAs with robust state/data fetching, routing, optimistic updates, and skeleton/loading patterns.
• Accessibility & Quality: Enforce WCAG-aligned semantics, keyboard navigation, focus management, and contrast; write unit/e2e tests and visual regressions.
• Telemetry & Experimentation: Instrument UX metrics (latency, drop-offs), feature flags, and A/B hooks; partner on dashboards for usability and adoption.
• Collaboration & Delivery: Work with analysts on acceptance criteria, with backend/AI engineers on contracts, and with security on SSO/entitlement UX. Participate in code reviews and release rituals.

Required Skills

• Frontend Stack: Expert in React + TypeScript, modern state/data tools, and routing.
• Styling & Systems: CSS expertise (Flex/Grid), component libs and utility frameworks (e.g., Tailwind, MUI/Ant), design tokens, theming, and responsive design.
• API Integration: Strong REST/WebSocket/SSE integration, schema-driven development (OpenAPI/JSON Schema), error handling, and pagination/streaming patterns.
• Testing & Quality: Jest + React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright, story-driven development (Storybook or similar), visual regression testing.
• Security & Auth UX: OIDC/OAuth2 SSO flows, CSRF/XSS mitigations, secure handling of tokens/session state, and role-aware UI controls.
• Performance: Profiling and optimization (bundle splitting, memoization, virtualization), Core Web Vitals awareness, and perceived-latency improvements.
• Tooling: Git-based workflows, CI/CD familiarity, lint/format/type-safety discipline; strong documentation and design-handoff skills (Figma).

Good To Have Skills

• Explainability & Data Viz: Charts/tables and graph visualizations (e.g., Recharts, D3, Cytoscape.js/Sigma.js) for sources, subgraphs, and call graphs.
• AI UX Patterns: Prompt/response UI nuances, citation rendering, safety/guardrail feedback messaging, and evaluation review panels.
• Design Ops: Design token pipelines, theme packs, multi-brand support, and cross-repo component publishing (Storybook/Nx/Turborepo).
• Observability: Frontend tracing/metrics (OpenTelemetry JS), UX analytics (Segment/GA4), and event taxonomy design.
• Feature Delivery: LaunchDarkly/Flagsmith, canary/experimentation hooks, and remote config.

This role is ideal for a hands-on developer who can turn complex reasoning and approval workflows into fast, accessible, and trustworthy experiences-while building the component foundations others can reuse.
