About the Role

A fast-moving, early-stage AI recruitment tech company is hiring its first full-time Founding Frontend Engineer. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape the product from the ground up at a startup connecting top talent with high-growth companies backed by leading venture capital firms. You'll work closely with the founding team to build and evolve a consumer-facing product used by thousands of job seekers and hundreds of growing startups.

What You'll Do

  • Own and drive the frontend architecture and user experience end-to-end.

  • Translate product and design concepts from Figma into polished, performant interfaces.

  • Collaborate directly with founders on product direction and priorities.

  • Leverage AI coding tools to move fast and maintain high quality.

  • Help establish frontend best practices, conventions, and processes as the team scales.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • 2+ years of frontend engineering experience at a B2C company.

  • Proficiency with Figma — comfortable working directly from design files.

  • Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (e.g. Copilot, Cursor, or similar).

  • Strong product instincts and an eye for detail in user-facing experiences.

  • Comfortable operating autonomously in a small, high-ownership environment.

Nice to Have:

  • Prior experience as an early or founding engineer at a startup.

  • Background in consumer internet, marketplace, or SaaS products.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: €55,000 – €65,000 per year

  • Early equity opportunity as a founding team member

  • High-impact role with direct influence on product and company direction

Location

  • San Francisco, CA, United States — Hybrid

  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this role
